Bespin was a large gas giant and home of the "City above the Clouds", Cloud City, where Lando Calrissian oversaw the mining facility. It was also the location of a battle during the Galactic Civil War, where the Empire took control of the mine and city. It is also the place where Luke faced Darth Vader for the first time and learned that Vader was actually his father, getting his hand cut off in the process.

Overview[]
Bespin was a gas giant approximately 118,000 kilometers in diameter. While the giant was mostly poisonous, it possesed one place were the atmosphere is breathable, called the Bespin Life Zone. Bespin rotated very fast, with a 12 hour rotation, however, it took nearly 14 standard years for it to orbit its star. This was the planet home to many famed people including Lando Calrissian and Lobot.
Behind the Scenes[]
In the original Empire at War, Bespin didn't hold a land battle map, it could only be conquered by having space units above the planet, however, when the expansion pack Forces of Corruption was released, Bespin was then given a land battle map.
In Battlefront II, both Bespin maps were discontinued, it is unknown why this was done. However the Bespin maps could be played on Xbox Live on Battlefront II.
