Beldon / Legends The beldon was an enormous rethen gas - filled creature native to the skies of Bespin . The creatures were a popular sighting for tourists on Bespin and were protected by law on the planet . Beldons metabolized the natural chemicals and biospheric plankton of the slushy gas - liquid - solid interface of Bespin ' s lower atmosphere via long , trailing tentacles . They traveled in free - floating herds numbering anywhere from 500 to 3 , 000 . Their buoyancy was such that it was not unknown for dead beldons to remain airborne for weeks . Beldons reproduced sexually , but did not mate : eggs and sperm were released into the atmosphere and drifted until random fertilization occurred . By nature they were passive creatures , and when attacked generally fled into areas of deeper pressure where predators could not survive . In such cases one beldon often sacrificed itself by lagging behind to allow its kin to escape . Beldons excreted tibanna gas , which could be collected and used as hyperdrive coolant . Other gases they contained were highly flammable , rendering the creatures explosive . They were surrounded by a electrical field to detect approaching predators , like velkers , who preyed on them by poking holes in them and feeding on them until they entered the poisonous gas layer . Herds of beldon would combine these fields , extending them for hundreds of kilometers . In such cases , the fields could significantly interfere with shipboard electronics . The symbiotic triggerbird s were capable of inhabiting the tentacles of the beldon without harm . Some rare species of beldon could actually survive in space , drifting in interstellar nebulae or gas clouds . They could also consume minerals in small planetoids and asteroids by secreting acid on their tentacles to bore into rock and metal . They were known to even latch onto crippled starships for their mineral content . Like the beldons on Bespin , these " space beldons " also excreted tibanna gas .

The outcome of this project would determine the Republic ' s policy towards the Outer Rim worlds — if the project was successful , it would consider financing the restoration of other planets that had suffered from the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War . To monitor the Restoration Project , the massive Citadel Station was built in orbit above Telos . The project itself was guided by Chodo Habat and his Ithorian herd . The surface of Telos was divided into " restoration zones , " each of them having a unique code , and the Republic started importing lifeforms from other worlds — for example , cannok s , meant to keep the herbivore population in check , were taken from Onderon , its jungle moon of Dxun and Ithor itself . By 3951 BBY , the Ithorians had been challenged by Czerka Corporation , which , through not entirely legal means , attempted to take control over the Restoration Project . Their plans were different from the ones proposed by the Ithorians — instead of restoring the nature of Telos , they proposed urbanizing it . In reality , they saw the project only as a cover - up — what they actually wanted was access to abandoned Republic military bases on the planet ' s surface . However , the corruption within the Czerka department on Citadel Station was eventually exposed by Meetra Surik , and the Telosian Council drove the company away from Telos . According to Darth Traya ' s predictions , the Restoration Project would complete successfully , and the surface of Telos would once again harbor life for years to come . The project was still underway by 3643 BBY , over three hundred years later .
