Welcome to "Planet Hoppers," where each month, we bring you a set of articles on a particular world in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game galaxy that a Gamemaster can use separately, as a linked series of events, or as a springboard for all-new adventures. This time around, a respected Ugnaught holojournalist looks back on hundreds of years of Ugnaught history on the planet Bespin and, more recently, Cloud City. Part 1: Live From the Surface
In which we meet Ugnaught newsman Ars Fivvle, host of Cloud City's Action Tidings.
Part 2: That Den o' Human Iniquity
In which Ars Fivvle describes the heroic tale of Cloud City's founding, complete with ancient holofootage.
Part 3: The High Human o' Cloud City
In which Lando Calrissian comes to Bespin and likes it so much he takes over the place.
Part 4: The Empire's Ugly Nose
In which Darth Vader also comes to Bespin and takes over the place just to impress his children.
Part 5: An Exclusive!
In which Calrissian returns to Bespin and helps daring Ugnaught holojournalist Ars Fivvle free Cloud City's Ugnaughts from the Imperials.
