The Alderaan Memorial, situated on Coruscant, served as a monument dedicated to the preservation of the memory of Alderaan, a planet annihilated by the Galactic Empire in the time leading up to the Battle of Yavin. Of particular interest were its archives, which housed a collection of historical items related to Queen Breha Organa, including a message penned to her by her husband, Bail Organa. This message revealed the death of Senator Padmé Amidala and informed her of his impending arrival with Leia Amidala Skywalker, the senator's newly orphaned infant.
