Rebel Alliance

The insignia of the Rebel Alliance.

The Rebel Alliance, also known as The Alliance to Restore the Republic, or simply as the Rebellion, was an unstable alliance of planetary, system, and sector-level factions united in common cause against the Galactic Empire. The ultimate goal of the Alliance was to remove Emperor Palpatine from power, dismantle the Empire, and restore the people's Republic. Members of the Rebellion were known as "Rebels," "Rebs," or "Rebel scum" by stormtroopers and other Imperials.

After a victory destroying the Death Star II, Palpatine, and Vader, the Alliance eventually formed the New Republic in the Empire's place.

Notable characters from the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight series that affiliated with the Rebellion were:

• Kyle Katarn
• Jan Ors
• Luke Skywalker
• Mon Mothma
• Lando Calrissian
• Chewbacca
