Briefing "Rebel agents have discovered a secret Imperial research facility on the remote ice planet of Rhen Var. The facility is well protected, with a full garrison at its disposal. Alliance tacticians have developed a two-pronged attack to secure the facility. The first unit is combat dropped into the ice plains east of the target; equipped with a full armour column they intend to spearhead a direct frontal assault. Spotting the Imperial forces erecting a forward command post outside an ancient Jedi Temple ruin, the Alliance commander knows that his forces must keep them occupied long enough for the second phase of the operation to proceed."

Rhen Var Ice Plains is one of the two combined arms maps (the other being the Battle of Ryloth) introduced in 1.2. Unlike Ryloth, Rhen Var Ice Plains does not feature air vehicles. The battle is fought entirely by ground units - artillery, armour, walkers, and mechanized infantry. The high mountains and scattered ruins of the map can be used by infantry looking to set up ambushes, and the vast expanses of icy plains are great for tank combat.
