In the time of 0 ABY, amidst the strife of the Galactic Civil War, Princess Leia Organa undertook a quest that led her to the planet known as Metalorn. Her objective was to reach out to Professor Arn Horada, her former instructor in history, with the intention of leveraging his influence to build a local resistance movement and initiate acts of sabotage directed at the Galactic Empire. Shortly after establishing communication, Baron Orman Tagge intervened, compelling her to depart the world before her assignment could be finished. Nevertheless, Leia found encouragement in the possibility that the mere demonstration of the Alliance to Restore the Republic's continued existence might ignite a spark of rebellion within the populace of Metalorn.
