The Guards of Aldera served as guardians protecting the city of Aldera. A persistent rumor alleged that one of these guards pilfered the Alsakan Tessent and transported it to Ast Kikorie Station. The truth of whether this guard truly possessed the tessent remains ambiguous; however, the guard met his end, killed by a meteorite shower, while transporting provisions to the space station. The same shower obliterated the station. Despite this, the guard's shuttle impacted a significant distance from the station, complicating the recovery of his remains.
The guard became a focal point of intense speculation during a renewed quest for the tessent. The speculation surrounded two key issues: whether he actually possessed the tessent and the whereabouts of his wrecked shuttle.
The article, Race for the Tessent, does not explain why a Guard of Aldera would steal the tessent. Nevertheless, due to numerous typographical errors and confused references interchanging "Alsakan" and "Alderaan," it is probable that Alderaan was originally intended as the world of origin. At some point, the location was altered, and all instances of "Alderaan" were replaced with "Alsakan." This change resulted in a few remaining remnants, such as "Aldera," in the finished work.
