The Alderaan Ascendancy Contention (also known as the Alderaanian Ascendancy Contention) was a political conflict taking place in 32 BBY between the noble families of the Core world Alderaan, the houses of Antilles and Organa in particular, over which of them was entitled to the position of Viceroy. After three deadlocked votes, the High Council of Alderaan requested the help of the Galactic Republic in mediating the ascendancy. In response, the Galactic Senate sent a team of Jedi led by Jedi Watchman Jorus C'baoth to settle the conflict. The delegation eventually resolved the dispute in favor of the Organas, allowing a member of the family to succeed to Viceroy. In addition, a marriage joining the rivaling Antilles and Organa families was arranged.
