After the brutal slaughter of the Flesh Raiders, another crisis arose to test Orono's loyalty to the Jedi. The Sith Empire had relentlessly launched bombing runs on the planet Alderaan and the Jedi were debating whether to send aid. Remembering that being bogged down in politics was the main reason the Jedi Order had lost the Great Galactic War, Orono was an advocate for leaving them where they lay, calling Alderaan's senators and politicians in general a "spineless" and "expendable breed". This argument eventually won out and the Order focused on those who deserved help rather than shifty senators.
