Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
A battle occurred on the planet New Alderaan in 10 ABY between the reborn Emperor Palpatine's forces and the New Republic. A party of Dark Side Elite under Palpatine's new Executor Xecr Nist infiltrated the settlement with the objective of assassinating the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and kidnapping the Force-sensitive Solo twins. However, they were intercepted by the Jedi and most of the party was killed.
Meanwhile, the settlement came under attack from a complement of Imperial AT-AT walkers which quickly overwhelmed the lightly-armed defenders. However, the villagers were saved by the swift arrival of several freighters including the Millennium Falcon which destroyed several walkers and managed to evacuate the villagers.
