The Alliance to Restore the Republic; colloquially known as the Rebel Alliance, is an interstellar pro-democratic republic revolutionary faction in the fictional universe of Star Wars.
As a direct reactionary to the formation of the Galactic Empire, the Alliance insurgency conducted covert operations on Imperial garrison-worlds and guerrilla warfare against the Imperial Fleet throughout the Star Wars galaxy. Their goal was to seize the Alliance forces. The Rebel Alliance was first featured as the main protagonist-faction in the 1977 film Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). The faction's origins were alluded to in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), and their early activities are featured in the Disney XD television series Star Wars Rebels and the 2016 anthology film Rogue One. With the advent of the First Order decades later, an army backed by the New Republic called the Resistance is formed to counter their progress, including members of the old Alliance among their ranks.
The Alliance is described and portrayed in various Star Wars media as a resilient freedom fighters, one based on toleration, empowerment in diversity, insurgency weapons and tactics, and a hope for a better future.
