The Alderaan Expatriate Network (AEN) emerged as a news outlet established by Alderaanian expatriates following the annihilation of their native planet. A significant portion of the AEN workforce comprised Alderaanian media personnel who happened to be located off-planet when their world was obliterated. The network's mission centered around disseminating accurate information regarding the Galactic Empire's assault on their home. Publicly supportive of the Rebellion, the network shared all obtainable resources—such as holotapes depicting Alderaan's destruction, captured by a satellite in orbit around Delaya—with other news organizations aligned with the Rebel cause.
