Major Kem Monnon was the chief of the Rebel Alliance Corps of Engineers, which was responsible for establishing the famous Echo Base on the arctic world of Hoth. The Corps, led by Monnon, constructed the base over the remains of the Mon Calamari pirate Salmakk's former base. They expanded upon the pirate's base, working with preexisting ice caves to expedite the process.
