Alderaan Refugees

OnALegendsArticle

Alderaan Refugees was a painting[2] created after 104 ABY[1] that depicted refugee vessels docked near a valley[2] on[3] the planet Alderaan.[4] The ships in the painting included a CR90 corvette, two EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigates, and a YT-1300 light freighter. The ships were stationed on a grassy area next to the valley, with pine trees growing throughout along with red and blue tents set up between the ships. In the foreground of the painting, a group of Humans gathered around a fire pit on top of a ship. The background of the painting included a snowy mountain range behind an Alderaanian city.[2]

Notes and references

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 "Celestia Galactica Photografica" was included in Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: Legacy Vol. 4, which describes the stories it contains as taking place more than a century after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. That film took place in 4 ABY according to The Essential Atlas, meaning that all paintings in "Celestia Galactica Photografica," including Alderaan Refugees, must have been created after 104 ABY.
