Original okudagram mentioning Alderaan

The name of this planet originally also appeared in "Up The Long Ladder", on an okudagram on Picard's desk monitor as the destination of HMS New Zealand in 2135. A legible version of the original okudagram appeared in the reference book, Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Continuing Mission. In the remastered version of the episode, the planet was renamed as Aldebaran. The reference to this planet, as well as the wording of several okudagrams, was an in-joke. Alderaan was, of course, the adopted homeworld of Star Wars's Princess Leia, who claimed to be on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan when captured by Darth Vader in the opening scene of Star Wars.

According to the reference book "Star Trek Chronology", in the "A" section of the locations index, this planet was listed as, "Never visited by the crew of the USS Enterprise-D."
