The Ison Trade Corridor was a small route that branched off from the Corellian Trade Spine, passing through five systems before reconnecting with the Spine. Along this corridor were, from Coreward to Rimward, the Varonat, Bespin, Anoat, Hoth, and Ison systems.
The jumping-off points from the Corellian Trade Spine onto the Corridor were the planets Indellian (coreward) and Mataou (rimward).
The Ison Corridor was widely seen as an obscure dead end, and the systems in it largely devoid of potential. The corridor was also prone to ambushes by pirates. Knowing this, the Rebel Alliance decided to start their base on Hoth after the loss of the base at Yavin IV in 0 ABY.
On their way through, the remnants of Renegade Flight were ambushed by Imperial forces.
