- "You were the one in the greatest danger, more than you could've known."
- ―Breha Organa, to Leia Organa upon her return to Alderaan
The Strike on Onoam[3] was a bombing orchestrated by Saw Gerrera's Partisans on Onoam to assassinate Imperial Moff Quarsh Panaka[1] in 3 BBY.[2] Panaka had just been visited by Queen Dalné of Naboo and Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan, the two young women leaving Panaka's chalet mere minutes before it was bombed.[1]
On her way into the chalet, Organa took note of a civilian worker wearing a breath mask. She saw the worker fleeing the scene after the bombing. Leia's adoptive parents, Viceroy Bail and Queen Breha, were angry about Panaka's death: despite Panaka's strong personal loyalty to Emperor Palpatine, he had still been a decent man, and the Organas thought they could have worked together to help vulnerable civilians. Panaka's death, however, prevented him from relaying to Palpatine his suspicions that Leia, adopted daughter of the House of Organa, was the biological daughter of the long-deceased Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo.[1]
