leias:From space, the planet of Alderaan, located in the star system of the same name, appeared as a blue-green orb envelopped in a white web of clouds. Its surface had vast bodies of water and was covered in snow-capped mountains, with patches of green grassy hills. During the waning decades of the Galactic Republic, it was ruled by Queen Breha Organa and represented in the Galactic Senate by her husband, Senator Bail Organa. Because of its ties with the Alliance, the planet was destroyed when Grand Moff Tarkin decided to test the superlaser of the Death Star. -- source link
