It's Alderaan, and it was destroyed not by Darth Vader, but rather by Grand Moth Tarkin. Vader was just standing there.
Boston fans will do well to remember that Tarkin met his doom when his aide suggested the preparation of his escape vessel after analyzing the Rebel attack but Tarkin dismissed him noting it was his finest hour. The Death Star exploded about 30 seconds later. So if Steinbrenner says something about the Yankee's moment of victory, I'd run, not walk to the nearest exit of Yankee stadium.
