Ice Station Beta existed on the icy planet of Anteevy and functioned as a construction facility for Imperial Robotics.
The station's purpose was to refine Phrik and to build cold-weather versions of the All Terrain Armored Transports, which were called "snow walkers" by members of the Imperial Navy. These walkers, equipped with heat circulation, de-icing, and efficient environmental systems, proved effective during the Battle of Hoth in 3 ABY.
It is possible that phase two of the Dark Trooper Project was planned to continue there. Crix Madine, a recently defected Imperial officer, identified it as the next target for the Rebel Alliance to destroy in order to halt the project.
Subsequently, Rebel agent Kyle Katarn infiltrated the base and demolished it by planting sequencer charges in specific exchange coupling ports. Both Phase I and Phase II Dark Troopers were used in defense of the facility's core areas.
