Topic: Admiral de Winter


  
  Winter - Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Winter and Leia were both schooled in Alderaanian ideals of freedom and liberty, and were early members of the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
Winter was treated as a princess and the personal guest of Governor Norquest and even given a seductive gown to wear and treated to a formal banquet.
Winter was one of three people (along with Luke and Admiral Ackbar) who knew Anoth's actual location, and she served as the primary caregiver of the children until they returned to live on Coruscant with their parents.

 THE MARINA MIRROR
Winter cruising is a lot like winter skiing…to have a successful trip, one must know what to expect and what to prepare for…including dealing with the unexpected.
Winter temperatures for cruising in the lower Gulf Islands are exhilarating for the few who cruise year-round, but unlike skiing, winter cruising is a sport that will NEVER be overcrowded.
While the Admiral heated up the water to boiling, the hired hand did his 360 degree watch, and as is often the case, his greatest worry came to pass… on a course that would cross our starboard bow, off about eight cables, was a tug pulling a sawdust barge.

Winter kept mobile during the Galactic Civil War, serving in a number of commands under a variety of code-names.
Winter was sequestered on New Alderaan with the children, and later, on the remote fragmented world of Anoth.
