-'''Bespin''' is a [[fictional planet]], a [[gas giant]] in ''Star Wars'' films and books (in the Bespin System of the Ison Corridor of the Ivax Nebula of the Anoat Sector of Greater Javin of the Outer Rim). The planet was first seen in the 1980 feature film ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''. Since its introduction, Bespin has gained more specific characteristics in the [[Star Wars expanded universe|''Star Wars'' expanded universe]].
-In ''The Empire Strikes Back'', Bespin's [[Floating city (science fiction)|floating city]] '''Cloud City''' hovers suspended by an [[anti-gravity]] pod.
-==Description==
-The planet is a [[gas giant]] that is about {{convert|73000|mi|km}} in diameter. Like most gas giants, it has a solid core that consists of metal followed by layers of metallic gases. Many of the layers of gas are poisonous, and the pressure and temperature are far above what a human could tolerate. But from approximately {{convert|93|to|112|mi|km|abbr=on}} down from [[outer space]], there is a habitable layer known as the Bespin Life Zone. This layer has an [[oxygen]] [[Celestial body atmosphere|atmosphere]] with the temperature and pressure that makes it ideal for human life. It is in this layer that Cloud City is located.<ref name="Christensen">{{cite web |last=Christensen |first=Bill |url=http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/080723-technov-cloud-city.html |title=Cloud Cities On Venus? |work=[[Space.com]] |date=23 July 2008 |access-date=21 January 2019 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20081123115435/http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/080723-technov-cloud-city.html |archive-date=23 November 2008 |publisher=[[Imaginova Corp.]]}}</ref>
-Bespin is a major source of tibanna gas, a fictional material which is refined for production and transport in Cloud City and used in hyperdrive coolant for [[starship]]s, as well as in the production of firearms. It is home to several million individuals, including [[Humans (Star Wars)|humans]] and [[Ugnaughts]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/bespin/index.html |title=Bespin |work=[[Starwars.com]] |access-date=21 January 2019 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20031204113520/http://www.starwars.com:80/databank/location/bespin/index.html |archive-date=4 December 2003 |publisher=[[Lucasfilm]]}}</ref>
-Han Solo's starship, the ''[[Millennium Falcon]]'', barely made it there when travelling from another [[star system]]. [[Lando Calrissian]], the previous owner of the ''Millennium Falcon'', administered Cloud City and provided "well-paying" jobs for the Ugnaughts until the [[Galactic Empire (Star Wars)|Galactic Empire]] occupied the system.
-During the [[Galactic Civil War]], [[Darth Vader]] captured Cloud City (as seen in ''The Empire Strikes Back'') after blackmailing Calrissian into turning over [[Han Solo]] and [[Princess Leia]] to him. But after the [[Battle of Endor]] the planet and Cloud City was liberated from the empire by the [[New Republic (Star Wars)|New Republic]].
-Cloud City is a playable level setting in numerous video games, including ''[[Star Wars Battlefront (2015 video game)|Star Wars: Battlefront]]'',<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/26/star-wars-battlefront-season-pass-dlc-details/ |title=Death Star, Bespin coming to Star Wars Battlefront via season pass |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |first=Jonathon |last=Dornbush |date=26 January 2016 |access-date=21 January 2019 |publisher=[[Meredith Corporation]]}}</ref> ''[[Star Wars: Uprising]]'', ''[[Star Wars Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith]]'', and ''[[Star Wars: The Force Unleashed]]''.
