- "He stood as viceroy of Alderaan at the beginning of a dark time for our entire galaxy. He helped Mon Mothma create the Rebel Alliance, even while still fighting valiantly to preserve what little integrity and authority the Imperial Senate had left. I have no doubt that he would have continued the battle alongside our rebel soldiers if he had not so cruelly been taken from us in the destruction of my homeworld. [...] My father gave us one legacy more precious than any other—a galactic peace. All of us here today have inherited the responsibility to preserve that peace from this day forward. Only by doing so can we truly honor and remember him."
- ―Leia Organa
In 28 ABY,[2] a dedication ceremony was held on Hosnian Prime, in honor of Senator Bail Organa, a founder of the Rebel Alliance. During the ceremony, a seventy-meter-high Jelucani fogstone statue of him,[1] designed by Janyor of Bith,[3] was revealed.[1]
Senator Tai-Lin Garr and Princess Leia Organa, adopted daughter of Bail himself, both addressed the vast crowd of a thousand different species that had gathered for the occasion, reminding them of the sacrifices the galaxy made to restore the Republic. The ceremony was concluded with an air show, featuring a variety of sophisticated X-wing maneuvers.[1]
