Throughout the years, Alderaan was said to be “Shining Star” of the core worlds. It was a place where peace and beauty were the common preoccupations, and art and learning were the popular pastimes.

But, with every shred of darkness, a glimpse of hope shined through. Ussej Padric Bac, a man who disappeared long ago, was born on Alderaan before becoming part of the great Jedi Order.
