Mazicia Organa Mazicia Organa was a female Human who served as the Queen of the planet Alderaan during the period leading up to the Clone Wars , a pan - galactic conflict . She was also the mother of Bail Prestor Organa , who became the last Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system . In 38 BBY , the life of Mazicia Organa was shattered when her youngest brother , the agricultural specialist Tayvor Mandirly , was murdered on a moon known as Antar 4 . The famous blockade runner CR90 corvette later known as the " Tantive IV " was built during her reign , under the name " Star of Alderaan " . Despite the time that had gone by since Mandirly ' s passing , the mourning Queen was never able to resume a normal life . At some point before the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY , the Queen ' s sorrow was such that she died of grief . Biography . A Human female , Mazicia Organa came from Alderaan , a pristine planet of refined culture , in the waning decades of the Galactic Republic . She was one of several children , the youngest of which became the renowned agricultural expert Tayvor Mandirly . Later in life , Mazicia joined the House of Organa , one of the galaxy ' s most respected Ancient Houses , by marrying the Viceroy Organa . Eventually , Mazicia Organa was crowned Queen of Alderaan . In the year 67 BBY , she gave birth to a baby boy , the Prince Bail Prestor Organa . Together , the Queen and the Viceroy Organa became dedicated and loving parents , but they never spoiled their son , even though his patrician education came with many privileges . In 38 BBY , Mazicia ' s brother Tayvor was murdered on the moon Antar 4 by Raxis and Nolid , two members of a local criminal organization , during a colfillini plantation dispute on the planet . Mandirly ' s charred body was found nailed to a stake by the Jedi apprentice Obi - Wan Kenobi . That traumatic event was devastating for the Queen of Alderaan , and from then on , sorrow began to take over her life . Sometime before 33 BBY , the Queen ordered the construction of the " Star of Alderaan " , a Corellian CR90 corvette the use of which was reserved to Senator Agrippa Aldrete , who represented the Alderaan sector in the Galactic Senate . Organa allowed the ship to serve the House of Alderaan without granting it the status of royal vessel so that it could have additional defensive systems and weapons added , predicting that her family might someday need more protection in dangerous situations . As years went by , Mazicia never managed to get over her brother ' s death , which eventually led to her own demise . When the Clone Wars erupted between the Republic and the Separatist Confederacy in 22 BBY , Queen Mazicia Organa had been dead for some time , and the throne had been passed to Breha Antilles , who was the wife of Bail Organa . Legacy . Long after Queen Mazicia ' s death , her memory was still vivid in the mind of her son . At the start of the Clone Wars , Bail Organa was still deeply resentful against Raxis and Nolid , believing they should have been executed for provoking his mother ' s passing . House Organa also continued to use the " Star of Alderaan " , later renamed the " Tantive IV " , for over three decades , and their involvement in the Rebellion against the newly formed Galactic Empire proved Mazicia ' s prediction that her family might need more protection . Personality and traits . The Queen of Alderaan Mazicia Organa was deeply attached to her family . Her son Bail would remember her as a " doting " mother , and the Queen ' s love for her brother ultimately sent her into depression after he died . During her reign , however , Organa proved to be far - sighted and proactive . She was capable of foreseeing the dark times to come , providing her descendants with a private starship that could be fitted for war . Behind the scenes .
