O romance canônico " Rescaldo: Life Debt" identifica os restos mortais de Alderaan como um campo de fragmentos chamado Cemitério Alderaaniano :
Asteroids tumble through space. They drift and spiral, and when one hits the perimeter shield, it breaks. Bits drift, pulverized, as the rest of the rock pirouettes away to join the rest of its crumbling brethren. Every time it happens, it hurts Teven Gale's heart. Because that asteroid is a piece of his world. Was a piece of his world, anyway.....
Out in the black, demo-droids drill and dig into the asteroids, one by one - they look like fireflies out there with their bright-orange light flickering from their cutting lasers. Those droids look for anything of note from the world the Alderaanians lost: artifacts, remains, fragments of precious stones or minerals or metals. Even a single brick would be a find. Accessing any of this wasn't even an option under Imperial rule; the Empire blockaded all access to the Alderaanian graveyard.
