This has caused a huge rift in the populace. The upper class lead a life of luxury, there every whim catored for. Whilst the multitude of those on Alderaan live in hunger. The rich are well protected from the lower classes by vast personal bodyguards, and the red and gold armour of the palace guards is a familiar and striking site on Alderaan.
