Legend

a floating city in close-orbit around Bespin, Tibannopolis once hoped to rival Cloud City in terms of gas mining as well as popularity. However, its ability to keep up on both fronts caused its inhabitants to slowly abandon it during the era of the Clone Wars. Tibannopolis was almost completely deserted after the Imperial occupation of Cloud City, but it was stragnely one of the few mining colonies that was never 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. Jedi Master Streen used Tibannopolis as a refuge while he was not prospecting Bespin's gases, during the years surrounding the Battle of Endor.
