The abduction of Princess Leia Organa from Alderaan, known as the ambush on Alderaan, was orchestrated by Vect Nokru and his associates. They acted under the orders of the Third Sister, who arranged for Organa to be transported to the planet Daiyu. This was all a scheme to draw out Obi-Wan Kenobi, a fugitive Jedi Master with past ties to Senator Bail Organa, and the events took place in 9 BBY.
