A devastating galactic civil war rages on. From the shadows of a ruthless Empire, a disparate band of freedom fighters has emerged, and against all odds, they have struck a significant blow against their oppressors.
Across the vast expanse of space, brave individuals are locked in a desperate conflict against the Empire's overwhelming power. Though poorly equipped and few in number, their bravery and resolve have ignited a new hope for galactic freedom. These are the men, women, and alien beings who comprise the Rebel Alliance.
