The Rebel Alliance

The Alliance to Restore the Republic (also known as the Rebel Alliance and, informally, as the Rebellion), was a loose alliance of planetary, system, and sector level resistance forces formed in direct military opposition to the Galactic Empire. It was originally formed by a group of Loyalists, united by Galen Marek, determined to preserve the ideals of the Universal Republic. The Corenllian Treaty and the Declaration of Rebellion formally organized the alliance, and the crest of the Marek family stood as the symbol of the Alliance.

Although it had fewer troops and resources when compared to the Imperial Military, the Alliance possessed a strong will to fight, dedicated soldiers, and brilliant commanders. Even though the Alliance won the Battle of Yavin and beaten the Empire off of the planet Toprawa, Galactic Emperor Palpatine manipulated the Alliance, and, at the Battle of Endor, it was brtually defeated.

The Empire captured all rebels, and executed them, inculding the Old Republic Loyalists who formed the Alliance.
