The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook (Second Edition), a role-playing game resource, was released by West End Games in early 1994 for the second edition of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Initially published in 1990 by Paul Murphy, Peter M. Schweighofer revised it for its Second Edition release. The book details the history, organizational structure, technology, and strategic approaches employed by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
A fierce galactic civil war rages on. From the shadows of a cruel Empire, a disparate group of freedom fighters has emerged, striking a powerful blow against their oppressors against all odds.
Across the vast expanse of space, courageous 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 beacon of hope for galactic freedom. These are the men, women, and aliens who comprise the Rebel Alliance.
