Genarius Genarius was a gas giant in the Cularin system . Much like Bespin , it had floating cities , including a manufacturing city built by SoroSuub Corporation 32 BBY . The floating cities of Genarius were viewed as relatively lawless by the standards of the rest of the Cularin system . The mixture of gases in Genarius was unusually rare for the galaxy , with many existing in stable form due to mixing with others and the presence of radiation from the planet ' s core . Argon mixed with heavy beskium , and three distinct carbon isotopes in gaseous form , creating a blend of blue and orange in the atmosphere . In addition , over 150 elements existed in the atmosphere in trace amounts ( less than 50 parts per million ) . Tibanna and irolunn gas could also be found on Genarius . Genarius gave off its own glow , along with heat and energy . Its core was a producer of low - energy fusion , with temperatures as hot as protostars though not great enough to turn the planet into a star . Storms of extremely forceful winds and deadly radiation would sweep up from below and could devastate unprotected cities . Unlike most gas giants , Genarius had native animal life : the jellyfish - like cochlera . This species was hardy and able to adapt to a wide range of conditions on Genarius . However , no specimen was able to survive for more than one standard day if taken away from Genarius ' unique mix of atmospheric gases . History . During the Great Galactic War , a group of Imperial fighters known as the Bane Brigade and their Sith commanders attacked the planet and purged the Jedi Enclave there . After Reidi Artom discovered the Cularin system in 232 BBY , it did not take long for entrepreneurs to come to the system . The earliest efforts at settlement focused on the four moons of Genarius . Once the stability of the planet ' s atmosphere was determined , the attempt to build a city in the atmosphere began . Nub Saar was the first city built . It was constructed hastily and was not prepared for the intense radiation storms . It had almost been abandoned by the time it was hit by a storm so hard , most of the cities ' structures fell and the residents that remained were disintegrated . Though it was a setback in settling the planet , the lessons learned from Nub Saar were applied to future cities . Radiation shields were a priority , and the buildings were made strong enough to resist the intense winds . There were other cities constructed that failed , but Friz Harammel , built by Daedalus Gas Mines , was the first city to succeed . It was expected to be a disaster in the making , but the lessons of Nub Saar had been properly applied , and after a year of mining operations , the city ' s overseer was able to announce staggering profits . Her speech not only renounced the city ' s critics , but it was worded to incite more interest in Genarius from other businesses : more trade meant more profit . External investors would came during centuries , among them being Qar Jalunn . By 188 BBY , there were multiple cities floating in the orange and blue - hued clouds of Genarius . It was these cities that Dark Jedi Kibh Jeen attacked to begin the Dark Jedi Conflict . Thousands died . The Conflict moved on from Genarius , and Jeen ' s forces were eventually defeated in 181 BBY . After Riboga the Hutt came to the Cularin system in 110 BBY , he had the city of Tolea Biqua built at his command , which became his part - time home . He did not want to give the independent cities of Genarius the opportunity to gang up against him , so he organized them first . He presented to the city leaders that together , they presented a united front and could make more money than independently . Riboga created a Central Council with two members each from the major cities of Genarius , those cities accounting for only half of the planet ' s population , but 90 % of its wealth . The other cities paid the Council tribute for protection . Riboga led the Council himself initially , but once he was satisfied with the Council ' s attributions and status quo , he allowed them to elect their own leader . New representatives were chosen every two years . While each city still operated pretty independently , trade decisions had to pass through the Council . After Riboga left the system , Nirama did not concern himself with the Council , so they began to be the body that Riboga had initially described . They still accepted tribute from the smaller cities without granting them seats , and only paid attention to their own concerns . When Ipsus and Edic Bar were created , the wealth and prestige Naescorcom and SoroSuub Corporation brought gained these cities each two seats on the Central Council almost immediately . Each city on Genarius focused on a different industry . Edic Bar produced starfighters , Friz Harammel did gas mining and radiocarbon harvesting , Ipsus manufactured diverse supplies , and Tolea Biqua and Varna Biqua provided vice without restrictions . Rorkee , originally intended as a study center , based its economy in the tourism it could gather using a faithful reproduction of an archaeological site from the moon of Dorumaa after the Dorumaa Investment Group restricted access to the original one . Depatar , officially a " neutral ground " for whatever parts looking for such a place , was a recognized black market , probably the biggest in the Cularin system ; and it also generated a handsome income through its internal bureaucracy . The Genariusan cities as a whole were the biggest centers of business , manufacturing and distribution in the Cularin system as of 31 BBY . In 31 BBY , a fallen Jedi called Karae Nalvas secretly built an armored flying city , similar to the others in Genarius , but he also endowed it with firepower enough to destroy almost any of the Genariusan cities . Nalvas ' s enemy Alec , a Jedi Knight , theorized that Nalvas wanted to take over or destroy the cities , collapsing the economy of the system and breaking out a war . Alec stole the blueprints of such a weapon of mass destruction and hid in Depatar , but Nalvas managed to recover the documents . Nalvas hid his city , the " Conkesta , " near the planetary core to avoid detection . Alec detected it anyway and recruited several people , including Dr . Shilaea Motacc and several adventurers , all of whom had worked for Nalvas unaware of the Dark Jedi ' s real plans . Alec asked some of his allies to raid the " Conkesta " and upload a virus to end with its threat , while he was busy tracking Nalvas . The virus sent the " Conkesta " to the core of Genarius , where it was destroyed , apparently with a great burst of dark side energy that Nalvas could not hope to control . Nalvas left the Cularin system , but Genarius was safe and the " Conkesta " was never really used against any of its cities . After the Clone Wars , a terrible war broke out between the government of Genarius and the group known as the Coalition . When the Coalition ' s main warship collided with the city of Tolea Biqua , the planet was rendered nearly uninhabitable due to the instability of the atmosphere . Behind the scenes . When the " Living Force Campaign Guide " discussed Riboga setting up the Central Council , the " result " was said to be a council with representatives from Ipsus , Edic Bar , Tolea Biqua , Varna Biqua , and Friz Harammel . However , Ipsus and Edic Bar were not founded until after Riboga left the Cularin system , so the five cities listed would be seen as the ultimate result as of 31 BBY . What is unknown is if the original Council represented only three cities , or if Ipsus and Edic Bar forced out two of Genarius ' lesser cities from representation .
