Description[]

History[]
Leia Organa's pathfinding class drinking mocoa
In 3 BBY,[3] the Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa and her group of the Apprentice Legislature pathfinding class undertook a hike in the mountains of the Core Worlds planet Alderaan. When they returned to their chalet, Organa and her friends were given oversized mugs of mocoa. Months later, Organa reflected on the happiness she felt concerning her memories with her colleague and friend Kier Domadi, including when he had brought her a cup of mocoa.[1]
One week after the pilot Poe Dameron deserted the Spice Runners of Kijimi gang[2] in 19 ABY,[4] he visited a cantina on[2] the Mid Rim[5] planet Kijimi. At the cantina's bar, a bartender served him an iced mocoa. Dameron was grateful that the establishment's loud and boisterous patrons were drunk enough that they would not notice him consuming a beverage usually meant for first light, considering that he would need the energy from it for the night ahead.[2]
