The Alderaan Flotilla, also referred to as the Survivor Fleet, was a group of starships that provided transport for the remaining population of the planet Alderaan after its destruction at the hands of the Galactic Empire. After her homeworld was obliterated and following the Battle of Yavin, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan established the Survivor Fleet, seeking out and saving Alderaanian survivors from Imperial persecution. Learning about her mission, numerous Alderaanians traveled to join her above the planet Espirion, where the combined Alderaanian forces successfully took down an Imperial Star Destroyer that had been pursuing them. When they went back to their respective responsibilities within the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Organa placed the fleet under the supervision of her friend Lieutenant Evaan Verlaine. By the time of the Battle of Endor, the Survivor Fleet, consisting of seven vessels, was located within the remains of Alderaan inside the Alderaan system. In Organa's absence, the flotilla was governed by Regent Administrator Eglyn Valmor, and they were gifted the wreckage of the first Death Star to construct a space station within the Alderaan system to provide them with housing.
