Alliance to Restore the Republic

The Alliance to Restore the Republic, also known as the Rebel Alliance and The Rebellion, was an rebel government formed out of various rebel cells that opposed the Galactic Empire. It was made up of various species from the Star Wars galaxy, such as the Mon Calamari, Humans, Twi'leks, Ewoks, Talz, Rodians, Wookiees, and others.

Formation
The early Alliance to Restore the Republic was formed when Imperial Senator, Mon Mothma of Chandrila defected from the Empire and united various rebel cells together with the aid of Phoenix Squadron and Gold Squadron on the planet Dantooine in 2 BBY.

Building up a Rebellion
Following its formation, the Alliance to Restore the Republic's members set up a few bases across the galaxy, namely on the planets Attolon and Yavin IV. With secure and remote bases set up in the far Outer Rim of the galaxy, the Alliance began gaining support from various other rebel cells and anti-Imperial planets across the galaxy, growing the Alliance's military and navy. Specifically, the Alliance's naval force grew exponentially when the Mon Calamari from the planet Dac joined the rebellion, in turn, giving the rebellion all of the ships they produced from their homeworld.
