 Planet Bespin

General Information Body Paragraph:

Bespin is a large planet located in the Bespin star system, residing in the Anoat sector. Consisting mostly of gas, it is rich with rare gasses that have attracted mining facilities to extract resources. The population consisted mainly of two species. Upnaughts work in facilities to extract the gasses down below. The Upnaughts constructed a city known as Upnorgrad within the atmosphere of the planet, their most known leader being King Ozz. On this planet, there are no habitable spots of land or even water. However, the majority of the population is human, living in a breathable layer of an atmosphere called the “Life Zone.” Within the “Life Zone,” there was no need for life support systems, as the atmosphere was completely functional. The main faction on Bespin is “Cloud City,” a large colony floating within the atmosphere of the planet. Cloud City is the main distributor and seller of the gas, gathering it from Upnaught City. Consisting of nearly 400 floors, Cloud City is home to many residences, as well as many visitors wishing to gamble. 

History/Background Body Paragraph:

Bespin was discovered by explorers, being colonized in 1989 BBY. A gas extraction facility was established on the planet, however, it was destroyed by Mandalorians during the Mandalorian War. Afterward, it was colonized again with the creation of Cloud City emerging on the planet.

Additional Information Body Paragraph 

Cloud City floats 59,000 kilometers above the core of the planet. With 392 floors, the planet was able to hold a large capacity of residences and tourists wishing to visit the planet. Gambling is a large part of Cloud City’s culture, making a large profit from that in return. The top 50 floors of Cloud City are reserved for luxurious resorts, charging customers 5,000 credits (Imperial) per night. Due to the lack of land and water, swimming pools remain an extremely rare amenity.
