Setting

The story takes place in multiple places. However there are three main places that the story takes place in. The three places are Raxus Prime, the Starship Candaserri, and finally Bespin. Even though space is part of the story everyone (mostly everyone) knows about space. Two words to describe it is big and empty.

Raxus Prime is a planet in space (obviously) near the outer rim territory. However there is no longer any native beings on the planet. The planet is a toxic waste dump for thousands of years. It has foul air and crashed space parts. It was once a called the Shining Gem because of the major businesses and commerce.

Starship Candasserri is one of the republic's starships. In this book
 the starship is one of the star ships that fights against Dooku and his army. They do help orphans that where seperated from their parents by seperatists when they fight against the imperial forces. They hold orphans as well as clone troopers.

Bespin is the cloud city planet in the outer rim territories. It is a gas planet that has no 
water in it's surface and air is breathe able. Has multiple moons. It was a refugee for orphans during the "Clone Wars." Bepin does come out in Star Wars movies.
