The colony that the mining operation on Hoth had created consisted of about 7 very large domed structures, these were all heated so the people would not freeze, on the outside they just looked like large domes of grey metal.
On the inside it was different, grass was growing in 3 of the domes used for recreation, and in all of them viewscreens had been installed on the upper half of the dome to display a realistic view of a blue sky and clouds, fans blew in warm drafts that made the place seem completly different form what it actually was. A small ponds were placed in two of them for use by the people. It was quite an odd thing to see on Hoth.

As everyone was going about their bussiness the comm speakers inside the domes crackled, and Dain started with a message about an event that took place earlier in the day.
For those of you who don't already know, three banking clan ships were destroyed in orbit today. This was due to my lack of following up on the war, I had only just found out the banking clan was part of the CIS...The ships were outfitted with more than a few turbolaser batteries, they needed to be eliminated before they did any damage. we will not be joining them or be involved in any further bussiness with any member of the confederacy. That is all.
Some of the people in the domes looked shocked for a few moments, but the fact that Hoth's ships proved effective in combat quickly turned they're minds from the fact that there had been a battle at all, but that so far the colony had been a success, against all odds.

The comm crackled in her ear and Dane` sat up.
"This is the Hoth ship White Echo, please land at Dome three, it's the largest on the right side of the colony. And welcome to Hoth."
Shifting in her seat, she quietly replied, "Copy that White Echo."
As she began to descend, the colony became more and more apparent, looking to her sides, two ships had come alongside her; obvious escorts. She'd seen the surface of Hoth once before, but she'd never imagined an actual colony on the snowy surface.
Taking caution, she landed smoothly in Dome Three and powered down her engines until it sat completly idle. Dane` pushed a stray piece of hair from her face as she pressed a small "call" button. A reddish astromech droid appeared quickly.
"R4, activate medium security perimeters and backups. Check over the ship and send a status to my datapad."
The unit beeped affirmatively then disappeared as she wrapped her coat tighter, expecting freezing conditions as the exit ramp opened. Her boots clanked loudly as she stepped out into the containment of Dome Three where she found a small party waiting for her, as well as a fairly warm breeze brush against her face.

Dane` paused for a moment as the speakers within the dome crackled on.
"For those of you who don't already know, three banking clan ships were destroyed in orbit today. This was due to my lack of following up on the war, I had only just found out the banking clan was part of the CIS...The ships were outfitted with more than a few turbolaser batteries, they needed to be eliminated before they did any damage. we will not be joining them or be involved in any further bussiness with any member of the confederacy. That is all."
Removing her thick jacket, she tossed it inside the ramp before it closed. Three ships destroyed because of the CIS. No real allegence, she thought, making a mental note. Her eyes wandered around the dome, up to the fake blue sky, and then around at the actual structure.
"Temperature control, simulated climate...fascinating," she mumbled. Looking forward, she noted a very small group headed towards her ship.
((Hope this fixes my boo boo...My bad.))

Dane` comm beeped at her waist. A message scrolled across the top, from R4.
"Ship status normal; hostilites noted over communications."
Closing the comm, she reopened the ramp and climbed back inside. The ship was quickly powered up before she knew it.
"R4, send a message to Naboo. Let them know that I've found the colony to be quite civilized, but things here don't seem to follow any rules of the Republic. Also mark that three ships were destroyed because of their association with the CIS."
The small astromech beeped, recording her words before locking into the wall. Lifting, her headset up, the sound of argumentative chatter overrode her own thoughts as she disappeared from Dome Three.
