Alderaanian Convoy to Wobani—Leia Organa's Official Request

Alderaanian Convoy to Wobani—Leia Organa's Official Request was a file sent by Senator Leia Organa of the New Republic's Senate to the Alderaanian refugees who had been part of the Alderaan Flotilla, the only people she knew would respond. The request was sent when it became apparent to Organa that emergency aid was needed on the planet Wobani while she watched a briefing on its status following its abandonment by the Galactic Empire.

Within days, a convoy of heavy freighters carrying bacta and foodstuff was chartered and paid for by the Alderaanians, who also piloted the vessels under the leadership of Commander Rutowan Cannter, although the supplies delivered were not enough for all of Wobani. The request file was stored in the "Relief Efforts" section of the New Republic Archives and later cited by historian Beaumont Kin when he mentioned the convoy in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire in 35 ABY.
