Alderaan is a mountainous world of lush forests and grasslands, ruled by an assembly of noble houses and an enlightened and advanced citizenry. A founding member of the Republic, Alderaan has been traditionally admired for its wealth, its art and its thinkers, while the deadly intrigues and politics of the nobility have been downplayed. swtor wikia
Recently, those intrigues erupted into civil war, and Alderaan–now officially withdrawn from the Republic–sees conflict it hasn’t known in ages. The Republic is backing House Organa’s quest for the crown, whereas the Empire backs the former House Thul exiles. Palaces and fields have become pockmarked by cannon fire, and house armies clash on the battlefield. swtor wikia
Alderaan has long been known as a force of calm in the Galactic Republic, its representatives advocating freedom and negotiation rather than violence. The planet even served as the home planet for brothers Ulic and Cay Qel-Droma, two of the Republic’s greatest heroes. swtor wikia
