The Alderaan Department of the Arts represented a governmental body on the world of Alderaan. This Department of Arts maintained its headquarters inside the Aldera Royal Palace, with entry via the First Hall. The office space held four desks and a number of holoposters that showcased Alderaanian artistic creations. In the year 0 BBY, the planet Alderaan suffered destruction at the hands of the Galactic Empire; however, a notable section of the Palace endured this catastrophic event, being saved along with the mass of Asteroid 7785. The Department of Arts' office was among the ruins that were miraculously saved.
