Cloud City is a fictional city featured in the Star Wars multimedia franchise. It was briefly seen in the 1980 feature film Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
Description[]
Cloud City is a self-sustained floating city that exists in the atmosphere of the gas giant planet Bespin. It is an industrial city utilized by various trade and mining guilds. Its chief export is Tibanna gas, which is mined from the atmosphere. The administrative wing of the city is led by a Baron Administrator and his staff. During the Galactic Civil War, the First Galactic Empire seized control of Cloud City from its current Baron Administrator, Lando Calrissian, and maintained Imperial occupation until the end of the war. When Calrissian was forced into exile, the Empire placed Hugo Treece as acting governor of Cloud City. [1]
The majority of Cloud City's occupants consist of humans and Ugnaughts, the latter of which worked as miners in the city.
When the First Galactic Empire fell following the deaths of Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, Cloud City was liberated, and a great celebration was held. [2]
