Ex-Senator Leia Organa
CORSIN SYSTEM - Imperial patrol lines encountered and destroyed a Rebel transport known to be carrying the fugitive former Senator of Alderaan, the so-called "Princess" Leia Organa. Her capture is believed to be imminent.
Following up on previous Rebel incursions in the Corsin system, Imperial patrols discovered an escorted transport believed to be ferrying the fugitive ex-senator Leia Organa of Alderaan. The transport was destroyed, despite the attempts of its escort vessels to impede Imperial justice.
The escort vessels are reputed to have been under the command of the Rebel militant, Bazi Bier. The patrols took heavy damage, as their crews put the capture Organa ahead of self-preservation. The militant, Bier, took cynical advantage of their proud display of selflessness, destroying a number of Imperial cruisers as they attempted to fulfill their duty to the Emperor and Galactic Civilization.
Organa was instrumental in the destruction of her home world of Alderaan, whose people had entrusted her with their representation in the Imperial Senate. It is reported that she ordered the attack on the peaceful Imperial "Death Star" battlestation as it traversed the system, which forced the station to defend itself against the warlike planet.
Organa came to her position in the Senate through familial nepotism, her father having held the same seat in the Senate before her. In this, she is similar to another fugitive ex-senator, Mon Mothma of Chandrila, whose parents also held powerful seats in government, using their positions to pull the requisite strings to keep power within their families.
Once Organa has been apprehended and brought to justice, it is hoped that the Galaxy can finally leave the nepotist corruption of the Republic to history, and the widows and orphans of the Death Star's never-forgotten crew can have a sense of closure to the tragedy that needlessly left a bleeding wound in their hearts.
