I didn't tell you to remove all the records pertaining to alderaan
and deathstar, I told you there were errors in them.  You need to
fix those errors, not just delete the records.

Basically, anywhere "alderaan" appears, you need it to say either
"alderaan" (with no trailing dot) or "alderaan.empire.intranet."
(with a trailing dot).
