Rebel Alliance

Description
The Alliance To Restore the Republic, more commonly known as the Rebel Alliance, is a secondary protagonist faction in Rico's Brigade. They are led primarily by Bail Organa, and were founded shortly after the formation of the Galactic Empire to oppose the new tyrannical government. Though they likely primarily operate in small guerilla cells on Imperial planets, they possess a sizeable, mobile attack force of commandos who can battle Imperial forces directly. Rahm Kota claims that many of his men joined the rebellion early on, but he quit due to the faction's reckless tactics.

Only a few years after Order 66, the rebellion was still small and horribly outmatched against the Empire. The appearance of Rico's Brigade, however, sparked new hope in the hearts of ordinary citizens, and Bail Organa and Rico soon forged an alliance between the two democratic factions. The terms were that Rico's Brigade would provide the rebellion supplies and assistance in future battles, and pull their troops off Dagobah for an unknown reason, in exchange for remaining independent of the rebellion and getting their help in future battles.

This alliance would prove advantageous to both parties numerous times, with the rebels often providing the resources to bolster Rico's Brigade's army for important battles, such as the initial liberations of Kamino and later Kashyyyk.

Trivia

 * The Rebel Alliance in Rico's Brigade is based on the faction of the same name from Star Wars canon. Their initial base on Yavin IV is a reference to the events of the first movie. The version in this show, however, appears to be much more powerful than their canon counterpart was only a few years after the formation of the Empire, though Rico's Brigade bolstering the public's morale to fight the Empire likely explains this somewhat.
 * Captain Raymus Antilles is based on the Star Wars canon character of the same name, who first appeared in A New Hope.
 * Rahm Kota's men joining the rebellion is a reference to Rahm Kota's first appearance in the video game The Force Unleashed, which depicted the founding of the rebellion, and Rahm Kota being one of their initial generals.
