"Well, you see, since we're a small operation, we don't fall into the jurisdiction of the Empire."
"So you're part of the Mining Guild, then?"
"No, not actually. Our operation is small enough not to be noticed."
―Lando Calrissian explains Cloud City to Leia Organa[2]

Samara Kebyc, a Human female working in Cloud City on her homeworld Bespin during the Galactic Civil War, was a senior accountant for the Cloud City Miner's Guild, administering the annual dues of the miners with membership in the organization. Kebyc opposed corruption, acting at times against other members of the guild. She was present in Cloud City when Lando Calrissian, the city's Baron Administrator, called for an evacuation before Imperial forces could subjugate the mining operation.

When Imperial forces nonetheless descended upon Cloud City to occupy the facility in violation of his agreement with Vader, Calrissian ordered the city's inhabitants to evacuate.[2]
