Although this article is based on official information from the Star Wars Legends continuity, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A battle took place in the Alderaan Graveyard during the Galactic Civil War between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire. Following the discovery of the ruins of the Aldera Royal Palace on an asteroid of the Graveyard, Darth Vader spread misinformation that Bail Organa has been found alive within the ruins of the palace as a plot to capture the Heroes of Yavin. However, a group of Rebel operatives explored the ruins of the palace before the arrival of the Heroes of Yavin and foiled the Imperial trap. Moreover, the Rebels discovered the Alderaanian War Frigate Another Chance, an armory ship carrying all the armaments of Alderaan. In the meantime, a fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers blockaded the Graveyard and ambushed the Millennium Falcon transporting the Heroes of Yavin as soon as it arrived in the system. Eventually, the sudden intervention of the Another Chance allowed the Rebels to break the blockade and escape the Imperial trap.[1]
