Cloud City (Jasca Ducato)

Cloud City was a covert mining colony on the planet Bespin. It received its name from the fact that it floated high above the actual planet&mdash;an uninhabitable gas giant. The city's only export was Tibanna gas.

During the Black Fleet Crisis, Bespin was troubled by the appearance of space pirates (funded by the Sith Order of Decreto siphoning gas from floating refineries such as BesGas Three to sell elsewhere. Because of this, Cloud City's profits dropped by at least ten percent. Eventually the Jedi stopped the Space pirates but did not discover the Order's involvment.

It was later conquered by the Sith during the Sith Crusade and even later claimed by Darth Wyyrlok as part of his domain during the Successors War.

It was the sight of the Battle of Bespin betwwen Darth Wyyrlok and [[Darth Proditor.
