Genocide on Bespin

Bothan spies and the agents of the Imperial Intelligence Agency discovered the association of the Chief Administrator of Cloud City, Lobot, with the Corellian Resistance. Determined to set a example to the rest of the Universe about the dangers of rebellion, the Emperor ordered for savage actions against Bespin to be taken. The Empire blockaded the world, cutting off further Cloud City support to the Resistance. It thereafter used Star Dragons to devour Bespin's settlements, including Cloud City. Lobot and his subordinates were killed, while nearly 100 million sentients in Bespin's atmosphere were murdered. Rahm Kota, who had fled to Cloud City after his incapcitation, again was smuggled out by Lobot's men before the Empire's actions, being taken to Utapau, where he hid with the Pau'an city administrator Medon.
