Tibanna

Tibanna was a gas used in fuel. As such, it was a valuable resource.
==Characteristics==
Tibanna was found in high quantities in the Anoat sector. For example, within the sector was the gas giant Bespin, where tibanna was found at high pressure in the upper atmosphere. The metropolis of Cloud City, which floated high above the gaseous surface of Bespin, was a mining colony where tibanna was harvested and processed for export.

==History==
The highly reactive nature of tibanna gas made it quite explosive, a fact that was used by clone troopers to destroy a Republic outpost on the moon of Rishi that had been taken over by Separatist battle droids during the Clone Wars. This was done to stop the base from transmitting the all clear signal, which had been hardwired by BX-series droid commandos. Without the signal it was clear something was wrong, and this stopped a planned Separatist attack on Kamino, where the Republic clone troopers were created.
Grand Admiral Thrawn discovered tibanna gas canisters as a Lieutenant when he, Ensign Eli Vanto, and other members of the Blood Crow crew investigated a ship that had sent out a distress signal and were betrayed by smuggler known as Nightswan after revealing their plan to cut the tibanna free with Mark One buzz-droids.
After the Galactic Empire suffered a major defeat at Endor, Governor Ubrik Adelhard ordered the lockdown of the Anoat sector.Star Wars: Uprising The blockade threatened the galaxy's supply of tibanna, and therefore its supply of fuel, due to the sector's high export of the gas. However, with the blockade, Cloud City became the only place where tibanna could be found within, and the demand for that gas rose dramatically. Consequently, the Trade Spine League made money transporting tibanna to various worlds in the Anoat sector. The Galactic Empire, however, intended to take Cloud City in order to cut off the sector's population from their much-needed tibanna supplies.
