Temporary bases were set up on various small, out of the way planets, but most all of them were found out and evacuated. On a small, out of the way, ice-covered world a new base was being constructed, but it was still months from completion and not ready to be occupied. The Alliance somehow managed to survive loss after loss of vital bases by completing smaller raids against Imperial convoys and inciting uprisings on major Imperial worlds. Rebel agents were everywhere, even in the Core Worlds, and the Empire was on high alert because of it.
