Legend

this was the codename of Darth Vader's plan to lure Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker back to the remains of Alderaan. He set about planting rumors about the discovery of parts of the Royal Palace of Alderaan in the heart of Asteroid 7785. Vader then augmented the rumors by adding a story about the mining survey team discovering a survivor in the asteroid who claimed to be Bail Organa. Vader went so far as to build a replica of the Palace inside the asteroid, using motion sensors and other mechanisms to trap his victims inside. Unfortunately for Vader, a group of Alliance agents intercepted the message from Hanos Darr and Zaz Hamiroz before it reach Leia Organa, and arrived at the asteroid before she did. The trap was sprung, but without the victims Vader intended.
