A Bespi bolygó valójában egy gázgömb, amelynek kincseit Felhőváros bányáiban aknázzák ki. Szilárd talaj híján a város épületei a légkörben lebegnek. A bolygón játszódik az ötödik epizód, a Birodalom visszavág nagy része.Ide érkeznek a Birodalom elől menekülő Han Soloék, akik Landótól várnak segítséget, de ő elárulja őket Darth Vadernek, aki fogjul ejti őket, és aki megfagyasztja Solo -t. És szintén itt küzdik először Darth Vader és Luke Skywalker.
Bespin is the planet in The Empire Strikes Back over which the floating city Cloud City hovers suspended by an antigravity pod. Bespin is also a major source of tibanna gas, which is refined for production and transport in Cloud City and used in the production of starship blasters. It is home to several million individuals — including humans and Ugnaughts.
The planet Bespin is a gas giant that is about 118,000 kilometers in diameter. Like most gas giants, it has a solid core made of metal followed by layers of metallic gasses. Most of the layers of gas are poisonous, and the pressure and temperature are far above what a human could tolerate. But from approximately 150 to 180 kilometers down from space there is a habitable layer known as the Bespin Life Zone. This layer has an oxygen atmosphere with the temperature and pressure that makes it ideal for human life. It is in this layer that Cloud City is located. Like most gas giants, Bespin has a number of moons. Bespin has a 12 hour day, and completes a revolution around its sun about every 14 years.
The Millennium Falcon, by Han Solo's admission, barely made it there from the Anoat system without hyperdrive.
Lando Calrissian, the previous owner of the Millennium Falcon, administered Cloud City and provided well-paying jobs for the Ugnaughts until the Galactic Empire took over.
During the Galactic Civil War, the infamous Imperial agent Darth Vader briefly captured Cloud City (as seen in The Empire Strikes Back) in what became known as the Siege of Bespin.
