Arreyel

Arreyel was a small blue-and-white planet located in a system within the Inner Rim. 
==History==
Arreyel joined the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. However, after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Arreyel fell into disfavor with Emperor Sheev Palpatine and the planet fell into a steep economic depression and had little chance of recovering due to lack of resources.
In 3 BBY,Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places Leia Organa's birth in 19 BBY. The events of Leia, Princess of Alderaan commence just after Organa's sixteenth birthday, which places the events of the novel in 3 BBY. the Apprentice Legislature was presented with four systems, including Arreyel, to be considered as a site of an academy of aeronautical engineering and design. Leia Organa of Alderaan championed for the planet to be chosen, but was later devastated to learn they had been manipulated into an Imperial plot. The planet had a powerful radiation source under its crust, and Organa suspected the Legislature's decision gave them cause to run intensive scans, in which the Empire found the radiation it thought there. The Empire planned to build planet-wide factories, and gave the residents six weeks to evacuate with no compensation.
