Alliance to Restore the Republic

The Alliance to Restore the Republic, also known as the Rebel Alliance, was a rebel movement and government that opposed the tyrannical Galactic Empire. It was made up of various rebel cells, Separatist Holdouts, and even a few defecting members of the Empire and managed to, despite numerous setbacks, defeat the Empire and managed to gain the support of several planets across the galaxy. Upon achieving this, the Rebel Alliance briefly reorganized itself into the Alliance of Free Planets until it managed to take back control of the Imperial capital of Coruscant, upon which the Alliance became the New Republic.
