Baron Administrator/Legends



Baron Administrator was the title of whoever was in charge of Cloud City on Bespin and other comparable facilities. Star Wars Canon is silent on the history of the title and position of Baron Administrator; and in the 2,000 years since Cloud City was founded the position may have been hereditary, appointed, or elected, or any combination of these methods and at different times. Given the noble connotations of the title baron and the noble origins of the founder Ecclessis Figg and his wife Yarith of Alderaan, the title may have originated as a hereditary position. By the time of the events depicted in the Episode V, the Baron Administrator is Lando Calrissian, who won the title and position from his predecessor, Dominic Raynor in a game of sabacc.

This title was later used by Daran Tal when he came into control of the Crystal Web Station, and was further implemented for the ruler of the platform city of Cularin.

The post of Baron Administrator was symbolized by a belt with a distinctive buckle design. An Aeien silk cape was also often used as a symbol of the office.
