Post-Reset

If you want to be a rebel, then why not be a rebel with a cause? The Rebel Alliance are the galaxy's good guys, whose goal it is to topple The Galactic Empire from power and reinstate a Galactic Republic (hence the name 'The Alliance to Restore the Republic'). As the universal underdogs, the Alliance claims no planet or place as its base of operations. Instead, its members are scattered across the galaxy, many of them working near-independently from the main governing body of the Alliance. It is through these isolated individuals that the Alliance is able to establish pockets of support. Though few planets will state outright their support for the cause of the Alliance, for fear of punishment at the hands of the Empire, the group has achieved significant support at a grass roots level. People all over the galaxy, dissatisfied with the close-minded tyrannical rule of the Emperor, turn to the Rebellion for hope - hope that one day democracy can be restored, and men and women of every race can live without the fog of fear in their minds. Though fewer in number than their opponents, the dedicated and extremely passionate members of the Rebellion fight night and day for the good of the galaxy.

Like any faction, the Alliance is divided into a number of mostly self-governing departments...

The Rebel Fleet

Although significantly dwarfed by the vast fleet of The Galactic Empire, the Rebel Fleet is one of the Rebellions most effective weapons and the most powerful weapon available to High Command. Vessels in the fleet were drawn from many shipyards, often being donated by supporters of the cause or sympathetic manufacturers who sold outdated ships at drastically reduced prices, or even captured from successful encounters with the Imperial Fleet.

Rogue Squadron

Though accountable to the Alliance Military, rather than the Fleet, the starfighter corps are one of the Rebellions key assets. One of the most well-known and successful starfighter squadrons is Rogue Squadron. Rogue Squadron was originally founded by Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker shortly after the Battle of Yavin. The squadron was reformed, with an new roster, following the Battle of Endor. The pilots who comprise Rogue Squadron are considered the finest the Rebellion has to offer.

Roster

• Rogue Leader - Commander Milivikal k'Vik, aka "Ghostlady" (A-Wing)
• Rogue Two - Lieutenant Tarn Ardsul, aka "Ronto" (X-Wing)
• Rogue Three - Flight Officer Henry McDonnaught, aka "Donut" (X-Wing)
• Rogue Five - Lieutenant Eluna Thals (A-Wing)
• Rogue Seven - Flight Officer Kelly Perris, aka "Hot Mama" (X-Wing)
• Rogue Eleven - Flight Officer Jamo Jakatta, aka "Joker" (X-Wing)

Rebel Intelligence

Rebel (or Alliance) Intelligence is a branch of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. It is their responsibility to obtaini and analyze military, diplomatic and economic information and report such information to the relevant branches of the Alliance. In simple terms, they are the Rebellion's spies. Members of Alliance Intelligence are stationed throughout the known Galaxy, acting as the eyes and ears of the Rebellion.

The department is divided into three main sub departments - Intentions, Operations, and Counter-Intelligence. The Intentions department specialize in equipment, interrogation, analysis and cryptology, spending much of their time 'behind the lines' (so to speak). The Operations department deal with the co-ordination and execution of passive and systems operations - plainly, they plan and organize the majority of the departments field work. The Counter-Intelligence department deals solely in retrieval and security, making their job perhaps the most perilous. They are the men and women dispatched into uncertain territories to rescue or secure lost agents, lost cargo and other items of importance.

Director Dasquian Belargic and Assistant-Director Grace Van-Derveld head the Intelligence department as a whole. Beneath them are the sub-department directors, each of whom has their own assistant director. All members of Alliance Intelligence are considered 'Operatives'. Members may receive, within their chosen sub-department of specialization, other titles to supplement this - but the rank of Operative will always come first. In this all members are equal. Unlike other branches of the Rebellion rank and hierarchy are not strictly enforced.
