Tibanna gas platform
Talk0this wiki
Tibanna gas platforms were large floating structures that were used to extract tibanna gas.
History
Edit
Tibanna gas stations could be found on different gas giants, like Bespin,[1] Kaer,[2] Kril'Dor[3] and Ord Ibanna. Many guilds such as the Tibanna Gas Miners or Tibanna Gas For the Poor and Rebellion Tibanners used these platforms to help produce tibanna gas. A variation of the technology was used on other planets such as Tocolya, Kirdo III, and Kiffex to gather moisture.[source?]Rogue Squadron raided the Galactic Empire's platforms on Taloraan several months after the Battle of Yavin.[4]
Following the confrontation at Bespin's Cloud City between Darth Vader, Han Solo and Leia Organa, Imperial forces remained on the planet and had a garrison of starfighters watch over the platforms' mining operations. Rebel troopers fought against stormtroopers for control of a platform during a battle on Bespin.[5] The Rebel Alliance also raided the platforms to steal tibanna supplies.[6] Rogue Squadron was assigned to destroy an Imperial research base on Destrillion, but instead found a gas platform guarded by TIE Hunters.[7]
The Jedi Knight Jaden Korr, along with the New Republic pilot Wedge Antilles, liberated another platform on Kril'Dor from the Empire.[3]
