The Gaseous Cloud is a deity venerated by the Lingsnot family. Devotees would beseech this deity for protection over themselves or their relatives. A written correspondence from the Lingsnots references the Gaseous Cloud, expressing a desire for its guardianship when Ciption Lingsnot undertook his Transport License on Conception Day.
The Lingsnots' mention of the Gaseous Cloud originated in a letter penned by Bob Carrau for the 1993 publication Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas. This book, authored by Carrau, merges creature designs and images from various George Lucas projects, including the Star Wars saga, with original narrative. Leland Chee, an employee of Lucasfilm who curates the Holocron continuity database, has stated that the information presented in the book is considered non-canonical.
