Airbarge

Gas prospectors searching for spin-sealed Tibanna gas in Bespin's atmosphere utilized jury-rigged repulsorcraft to travel throughout the world. These gas prospector craft were flimsy constructions and offered no protection against violent storms erupting on the gas giant.

Characteristics
A floatation sack filled with helium offered additional lift to the repulsor vents located underneath each craft. At the sides hung gas storage spheres. The pilot sat in an open-air seat at the front, completely exposed to the violent winds of Bespin.

History
Mining colonies utilized volunteers for generations to locate new pockets of Tibanna. Cloud City employed a legion of prospectors during the Galactic Civil War, who were always eager to exploit new finds before the major contractors moved in.
