Breha Organa was a human female who served as Queen of Alderaan during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. A member of one of the galaxy's Elder Houses, she claimed her throne through the traditional Day of Demand ceremony, surviving a near-fatal fall that left her dependent on mechanical pulmonodes in place of her heart and lungs. Alongside her role as monarch she served as her planet's Minister of Education.
With her husband, Senator Bail Organa, Breha adopted the infant Leia at the end of the Clone Wars, raising her as Princess of Alderaan while keeping her true parentage secret. The couple used Alderaan's wealth and influence to support planets subjugated by the Galactic Empire, becoming founding members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Breha and Bail were killed when the Empire's Death Star destroyed Alderaan, and both were remembered as heroes and martyrs of the Galactic Civil War. This overview summarizes source material under CC BY-SA; chronology is detailed in the Timeline.
