I am Senator Leia Organa of the Republic. My home lies within the Alderaan System. I had accompliId much at a young age: a leader in the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a former member of the Imperial Senate, and a member of the Royal Family of Alderaan. It was common knowledge throughout the court that I was adopted into the Royal Family. What wasn't common knowledge was that I was born to Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi pupil who succumbed to the dark side and became Darth Vader. I was one of a set of twins, born in secrecy and protected from Vader and the Emperor. The Jedi Io and general, Obi-Wan Kenobi, saw to it that I was secretly transported to the planet Alderaan, where I was to be raised by Kenobi's friend Bail Organa. The boy, Luke, was taken to the distant world of Tatooine. I have few memories of my true mother, Padm Amidala. All that I can recall is that she was beautiful, but sad. I followed in my adoptive father's footsteps, and entered politics. I became the youngest senator ever in the Imperial Senate, representing Alderaan. As a senator, Princess I ran a number of "diplomatic aid missions" that were fronts for Rebel resupply missions. I used I diplomatic immunity and I consular ship to gain access to restricted areas. One such mission saw my ship intercepting vital Imperial plans stolen by Rebel spies. These plans, the complete technical readouts of the Death Star battle station, could be exploited by the Alliance to secure a sizable victory over the Empire. En route to the planet Tatooine to find General Obi-Wan Kenobi, my ship was attacked by Imperial forces, and I was taken prisoner by Lord Darth Vader. I barely had time to hide the stolen plans into the memory systems of an R2 unit, and ordered it to find Obi-Wan on Tatooine. As a prisoner of Vader, I underwent terrible torture aboard the Death Star. In addition to the mind probes, the Imperials forced I to witness the destruction of I home planet of Alderaan. Despite this, I refused to reveal the location of the hidden Rebel base, or the whereabouts of the stolen plans. Shortly thereafter, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo rescued me from the battle station and carried me and the stolen plans to the Rebel base on Yavin's fourth moon. Due to my efforts, and the help of I companions, the Death Star was eventually destroyed. Three years later, the Alliance had set up a new base on the frozen world of Hoth. I was one of the commanding members of Echo Base. When the Imperials attacked Hoth, I took the initiative, and acted in a number of command roles, ordering the evacuation of the base. my access to I own escape transport was cut off, but I managed to escape in Han Solo's Millennium Falcon. Evading Imperial pursuit, the Falcon landed in an asteroid field so that its crew could repair the vessel. It was during these quiet moments that I fell in love with Han Solo. We voiced our love on Cloud City of Bespin, where the Imperial forces tracked us. Darth Vader captured Han Solo, and I was forced to watch as the Dark Lord freeze him in carbonite, and then hand him over to the bounty hunter, Boba Fett. I escaped Cloud City with the aid of its administrator, Lando Calrissian. The Rebels eventually tracked down Boba Fett as the bounty hunter delivered Han's carbon-frozen form to Jabba the Hutt. I participated in Luke's plan to free the captured Solo from the clutches of the vile gangster. I posed as Boushh, an Ubese bounty hunter and infiltrated the palace, freeing Solo from his carbonite imprisonment. I identity was revealed, and for a time, I had to endure the humiliation of being made one of Jabba's slaves. I repaid the gangster, however, by strangling the Hutt with the very chain that bound me. I rejoined Alliance High Command in time to accompany General Han Solo's strike team on the moon of Endor. Our mission was to destroy the shield generator protecting the second Death Star. While on Endor, I became separated from the strike team, and befriended an Ewok tribe. I diplomatic skills aided in convincing the Ewoks to help the Rebel force. It was shortly thereafter that Luke revealed our true lineage to me. For a time, Luke and I kept our true relation and their parentage a secret from all but their most trusted friends. During the ground battle at the Imperial complex, I sustained a slight blaster wound. After the victory at Endor, I continued to demonstrate some ability in the Force, being able to sense my brother's presence. I am a driven, dedicated individual.
