The Alliance to Restore the Republic, also known as the Alliance to Restore Freedom to the Galaxy, the Rebel Alliance or simply Alliance and, informally as the Rebellion, is a loose alliance of planetary, system, and sector-level insurrectionist factions. They are generally united in common cause against a common enemy in the form of the Galactic Empire. 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. Members of the Rebellion are known as "Rebels," "Rebs," or "Rebel scum" by stormtroopers and other Imperials.
