Bespin

Bespin is not well known, either within the Republic or outside of it. Bespin is a gas giant in the middle of the Norad System, which is itself on a low-traffic area of the Pirates' hyperlane. It would be little more than a stopping-over system for smugglers on their way around the Hoth asteroid field were it not for the curious fact that Bespin has a thin "shell" of breathable atmosphere around the inhospitable, high pressure gas of its bulk.
==Economy==
A small outpost centering almost wholly on the mining of Tibanna gas has been established on Bespin. The outpost is kept aloft on the currents of Bespin's upper atmosphere, and has become a place for Outer Rim, and even some smaller Republic, industrial concerns to acquire the relatively useful, and rare, Tabana gas. In addition to the gas trade, this outpost has been set up to serve as a safe port for starships passing through the most dangerous section, to those hoping to stay under the Republic's radar, of the Pirates' Lane.
Here, smugglers can refuel and resupply before moving on to Ryloth, or making the often dicey trip between Merr Sonn and Byss before moving once more out of Republic territory. 
==Government==
The planet has no governmental system to speak of, as only one outpost exists and lays some claim to the whole of the system. This outpost is often purchased commercially and owned outright by a single businessman. 
The previous CEO of Bespin was the so-called "Prince of Pirates" Pavaan Hor, a known drunkard and womanizer, then Lord Nash Dragen of Corellia, who retired from service there amidst scandal. He sold Cloud City on the market, and it was purchased by Administrator Okran.
===Current Leadership===
Administrator Okran has been working to improve the quality of life and the security of Cloud City and Bespin.
==History==
===Recent Events===
Administrator Okran keeps promoting the neutrality and the corporate interests of the whole Bespin through active policies. He recently hired several known figures to help him accomplish vital tasks: Niobe Diadak was appointed as Okran's assistant, the Tikar Balketh had the contract to produce a complete census of Cloud City and Armsmaster Kragoth is currently training the Wing Guard into a decent security force.
