**Leia Organa** was a Force-sensitive human female political and military leader who served in the Rebellion against the Galactic Empire during its reign and in the New Republic in the years following the Battle of Endor. Adopted into House Organa, the Alderaanian royal family, she was Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, a planet in the Core Worlds known for its dedication to pacifism. The Princess was raised as the daughter of Senator Bail Organa and his wife, Queen Breha Organa, making her the heir to the Alderaanian monarchy; she also found a lifelong friend in Katooni, a former Jedi youngling who, after her rescue from the siege on the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, became a handmaiden to the royal family. Instilled with the values of her adopted homeworld, Organa devoted her life to the restoration of democracy and opposed authoritarian regimes such as the Galactic Empire and the First Order.

Born in 19 BBY as **Leia Amidala Skywalker**, she was the biological daughter of Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo. Her birth occurred in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, which saw the Jedi Order purged and the Galactic Republic reorganized into the Galactic Empire. With her mother's death in childbirth and her father's fall to the dark side of the Force, Leia and her twin brother Luke Skywalker were separated to keep them hidden from the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Vader. As the adopted daughter of a politician, Leia eventually succeeded Bail by representing their homeworld in the Imperial Senate, though secretly she supported the Rebellion. During the Galactic Civil War, however, Alderaan was destroyed along with its inhabitants and the royal family by the Empire's DS-1 Orbital Battle Station, causing Organa to openly fight the New Order as a leader of the Rebel Alliance.
