"The Bespin Dancer. Is—was—she still part of the Falleen group?"
"I believe so. Senator—."
"My wife's cousin is a tac officer on the Dancer."
"Then, Senator, I am sorry for your loss."
―Senator Bail Organa and Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi after the the loss of the Bespin Dancer[2]

The Bespin Dancer was a starship that shared part of its name[2] with the planet Bespin,[3] and served in the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars.[2] In 22 BBY,[1] the ship was destroyed with all hands lost during the Fall of Falleen, which was fought against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Queen Breha Organa's cousin served as a tactical officer aboard the ship and was killed during the battle. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi later reported the fact to Senator Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan, the husband of Queen Breha. However, as the details of the Battle of Falleen included sensitive information, Kenobi advised Organa not to tell his wife about the event.[2]

The Bespin Dancer was mentioned in The Clone Wars: Wild Space, a tie-in novel for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series, written by Karen Miller and published in 2008.[2]
