What is it and where does it say it?

Thanks.

Bespin is a mini campaign just like Twin Shadows. So no side mission deck is built, hence no need for a time period. If you need to know for some kind of custom built campaign I'd put it the same as RtH which is 5 if I remember correctly.

Don't some Imperial agenda cards have a time limit?

Only agenda side missions. Usually you would not be able to add an agenda set if it contains a side mission of invalid time period. But in this case you add any set but you remove the missions.

Twin Shadows and Besbin Gambit do not have time periods because there are no side missions and no agenda side/forced missions. They are removed during the setup.

I have recently got the game, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but won't you need a time period if you wanted to use the mini campaign story missions as side missions to a full campaign? Or are the side missions available at any time?

Time period for a campaign is a time period for its the story missions. It is separate from the time period range of the individual missions. The Besbin Gambit could have a time period, but it doesn't. (None of the missions have time periods either, but that is irrelevant to the campaign.)

The side missions included in The Besbin Gambit are two hero-specific side missions, so naturally they don't have a time period because they need to be included in any campaign that the hero is in.

The other missions are grey and green side missions which just don't include time period, so they are available in any campaign. Agenda side missions (Gunrunner and Security breach) in the Bossk and Blaise villain packs don't have time periods either.

I.e. If there is no time period range, a mission or agenda set can be included with any campaign.

Thank you for your help!

Story-wise, Bespin Gambit seems to take place sometime after ESB, suggested by the strong Imperial presence in the city which according to Lando was not there before before Han slipped the Empire after the Battle of Hoth.

Although, I suppose it's possible that Lando was lying about the lack OF Imperial interest on Cloud City in that scene, and the only reason Vader was able to find them there was because there was already an established but clandestine Imperial presence on Bespin before Han landed there, unbeknownst to Leia.

From what I can see, Bespin is probably about a similar time as when the Rebels are on Hoth, if not a bit before. Lando doesn't really seem to play the Ally as, say for example, Luke or even Han. He really does seem to be at home with the Mercenary/Scum group as easily as the Rebels.
