House Alde embassy

The Alderaanian noble family House Alde maintained an embassy on the grounds of the House Organa estate, the ancestral home of fellow Republic ally House of Organa on the planet Alderaan, during the Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire. In 3643 BBY, the Imperial spy Aleyna Hark infiltrated the embassy and tagged Count Alde with the targeting device for the Death Mark laser, a weapons satellite in orbit of Alderaan, and the Death Mark's orbital laser killed the Count while he was still inside the structure. After the death of the Count, the embassy's guards closed the building to the public.
