Individuals with a pastime of watching starships were known as Shipspotters. When Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan was a child, she would often engage in shipspotting from the top of a tree located just outside the city of Aldera. During one notable instance, she observed a medical freighter, a pleasure barge, a casino ship, and a Tri-Wing S-91x Pegasus Starfighter, but her activity was cut short by the appearance of her mother, Queen Breha Organa. Viceroy Bail Organa, the princess's father, appeared to have a similar interest, questioning her about her sightings and pondering the reasons for a certain ship's presence.
