The extreme climate of Hoth makes the use of some vehicles impractical. The always-resourceful Rebel Alliance found that domesticating the swift and sure-footed tauntauns gave them a reliable alternative to traditional vehicles. Now, tauntauns are used by rebel troops as mounts for scouting or riding into battle upon.

This expansion adds a unit of two Tauntaun Riders to the Rebel Alliance army. A Rebel Army may include up to 3 Tauntaun Rider units as Support choices.
