Organa, Bail Prestor

Bail Organa was a youth when the hierarchy of Alderaan was thrown into a huge debate about the ascendancy. There were a number of royal families that held claims to the throne of Viceroy of Alderaan, and each of the families was eager to get its own candidate named to the position. After a lot of political backstabbing and lobbying, the Old Republic was called in and, with the help of the Jedi Knights, finally decided that the Organa family were the rightful successors to the seat of Viceroy. When Bail assumed the title of Viceroy and First Chairman of Alderaan, he also gained a seat on the Imperial Senate, and was soon engrossed in the new form of politics being played by Senator Palpatine and his supporters. Bail quickly asserted himself as a high-ranking graduate from the Academy, and with his wife's support, he began to work toward restoring the Galactic Senate to its former glory. Note that Star Wars Journal: Queen Amidala and the screenplay of The Phantom Menace state that Bail Organa was the first Senator to second Amidala's motion to remove Chancellor Valorum from office with a vote of no confidence, although the novelization of The Phantom Menace states that it was Edcel Bar Gan. Organa found himself oppose to the corruption that was taking over in the Senate, and fought for years to bring the corruption to an end. During the years leading up to the Clone Wars, he was a member of the Loyalist Committee, and did his best to support the efforts of Chancellor Palpatine. It was a daunting task, but one he gladly accepted. Unfortunately, the Clone Wars broke out with the Battle of Geonosis, and Bail found himself thrust into the midst of a war that could tear the galaxy apart. Even in this time of death, he and his wife Brehu - who was the Queen of Alderaan - tried to have children, but her physiology seemed unsuited to pregnancy when she experienced several miscarriages. Bail never gave up hope, in his wife or the Republic. He became famous for his valor in the Clone Wars, where he fought along side the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and the young pilot Anakin Skywalker. However, it soon became evident that Palpatine was growing in power, and that the Old Republic was rotting from the inside out. Organa was desperate, especially after his speech in opposition to the Security and Enforcement Act was met with jeers and cries of treason from his fellow Senators, and turned to the growing resistance as an outlet for his anger. Along with Mon Mothma, Bail worked to solidify the resistance, working behind the scenes to write the Petition of the Two Thousand. The petition fell upon the deaf ears of Chancellor Palpatine, who revealed himself to be none other than Darth Sidious. Organa tried to make it to the Jedi Temple and ensure the protection of the Jedi Order, but arrived shortly after Skywalker began his killing spree. Organa was forced to flee on his speeder or be cut down, after witnessing the death of Zett Jukassa. After young Skywalker became Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi consulted Bail about hiding Anakin's children from the Emperor. Bail agreed to take in Anakin's wife and daughter. He raised Anakin's daughter as his own, and thereby introduced Leia to the world of Imperial politics and, also, the Alliance. When the Corellian Treaty was being discussed, it was the words of Bria Tharen that pursuaded Bail to sign it. As Bail's faith in his daughter grew, he began assigning her more and more Alliance-related missions, until that fateful mission when he asked her to pick up the stolen Death Star plans and enlist Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding. When Leia was intercepted by Darth Vader and later tortured aboard the Death Star, Bail continued to assist the Alliance up until Grand Moff Tarkin decided to unveil the Death Star's power by destroying the planet Alderaan in an effort to get Leia to talk. Bail was killed in the destruction.
