Sony Online's long running sci-fi MMO Star Wars Galaxies has always been set in between the films Episode 4: A New Hope and Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back. Today the publisher and LucasArts announced that the game has finally given its players a long awaited encounter; Empire's famed Battle of Hoth sequence.

Our sister site Massively has the info on the new addition to Star Wars Galaxies which allows players to join either the Imperial landing force to destroy Echo Base or as the Rebels who are simply trying to get out with as many people and stuff as possible. There are some other new additions in this latest free content update and Massively even has a dev diary from Sony Online on the new features.
