Alliance to Restore the Republic



The Alliance to Restore the Republic, also known as the Alliance to Restore Freedom to the Galaxy, the Rebel Alliance and, informally, as the Rebellion, was a loose alliance of planetary, system, and sector-level insurrectionist factions. Members of the Rebellion were known as "Rebels," "Rebs," or "Rebel Scum" by Coalition of the Red Star forces. They were generally united in common cause, against a common enemy in the form of the Coalition of the Red Star. In order to achieve their primary goal in restoring the former Galactic Republic, the Alliance aimed to remove Emperor Palpatine from power, and his hegemonic New Order from the galaxy. It was later replaced by the New Galactic Republic after joining the Grand Alliance.
