What ever happens with Bespin?

We know that after Lando left Bespin and after the Rebels got Bespin back from the Imperials, the city went into a down fall. Where does Bespin stand now? Will Lando ever go back there? Will the New Republic or the Imperials re use it as a base?

 

Most of the answers you seek can be found on www.starwars.com databanks by the way.

 

True but the Data Banks only cover so much. The books cover a lot more.

What ever happens with Tibannopoils?

 

All the known stuff that was ever mentioned about bespin in the novels is up in the databanks.

Under two links, cloud city, and bespen, and maybe under lando calrissians entry, I'm really not sure if there is anymore to say. Bespin hasn't been used that much.

 

Bespin
this cloud-covered gas giant was the third planet in the Bespin system. Along with Cloud City, it is known for the tibanna gas it exports as well as for being a major location for playing sabacc. One of the major variations of sabacc is named for the planet, another for Cloud City. It is located just off the Corellian Trade Route. It has a number of natural satellites, and is located near the Anoat System. The gas giant has a quick rotation, taking only twelve standard hours to complete one revolution. Bespin's diameter measures some 118,000 kilometers. Much of the cloud cover over Bespin is well over 1,000 kilometers thick, and surrounds an outer core of seething molten rethin and compressed gas some 52,000 kilometers deep. This outer core exceeds 6,000 degrees, and covers a ball of solid metal 6,000 kilometers across. The average day on Bespin lasts twelve standard hours, but the year lasts 14 standard years


Cloud City
a tibanna gas mining colony in orbit over Bespin run by Lando Calrissian, Cloud City was originally built by Ecclessis Figg and the fledgling Bespin Motors company. Based on the platform of theFloating Hime, it is essentially a huge, saucer-shaped city floating in the Life Zone layer of Bespin's atmosphere, some 60,000 kilometers from the planet's core. The saucer - an incredible sixteen kilometers in diameter - is kept stable via a long repulsorlift unipod which hangs below the saucer. This configuration makes Cloud City seventeen kilometers in overall height. The unipod keeps Cloud City afloat by using 3,6000 repulsorlift engines. There are 392 levels to Cloud City, and a surface-level concourse at its top. The upper levels, denoted as Level 1 through Level 50, were filled with the luxury hotels and casinos which made Cloud City famous. Levels 51-100 were set aside for upscale housing, Levele 101-120 were for administrative offices, and Levels 120-160 housed the infamous Port Town. Levels 161-220 were used for general housing of the facility's workers; Levels 221-280 were used for factories: Levels 281-370 for gas refineries and miners' quarters; and Level 371-392 were filled with the repulsorlift engines and tractor beam generators that kept the city afloat and in position. Its location keeps it out of the mainstream of interplanetary commerce, but that allows it some necessary freedoms. It is known for its productions of tibanna gas, as well as for its casinos and open-air plazas. Due to its small size, in relation to full-scale mining operations, Cloud City was able to remain outside Imperial jurisdiction and separate from the Mining Guild. Lando Calrissian won control of the outpost in a sabacc match, but continued the mining operations and realtive anonymity of the station. Note that Galaxy of Fear 4: The Nightmare Machine claims that Lando won it shortly after the Battle of Yavin. However, when Darth Vader learned that Luke Skywalker might go to the outpost to rescue his friends, the Empire took control of the city. After Luke was able to escape from Vader, Vader left an Imperial garrison there. Grand Admiral Thrawn later used this garrison as a base of operations in his war against the New Republic. The outpost was again freed of Imperial control following Thrawn's defeat, but Cloud City's reputation had been forever tarnished.


Tibannopolis
a floating city in close-orbit around Bespin, deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City. It was one of the few mining colonies that was not shut down when it failed to turn a profit. It was left floating in the clouds, and the industrious people of other colonies picked it clean of usable materials. The remainder of the hulk now floats like a skeletal ghost town in the clouds. It was by Streen as a refuge while he was not prospecting Bespin's gases.
