Lord Ecclessis Figg was an eccentric space explorer and industrialist and from the planet Corellia. He founded the tibanna gas mining facility and luxury destination Cloud City, originally known as Floating Home Mining Colony, in the lower atmosphere of the gas giant Bespin. Figg created the city with the aid of three tribes of the Ugnaught species, and once construction was completed offered them the chance to live in the city and share in its profits from mining. As a tribute to his wife, who hailed from Alderaan, Figg designed the luxury resorts of Cloud City in white synthstone.
