Rebellion

Admiral Gial Ackbar

An inspired tactician and the most powerful military commander of the Rebel Alliance, Gial Ackbar successfully defended his planet, Mon Cala, from Separatist forces in the Clone Wars before less successfully defending it from Imperial invasion. Following the subjugation of his people by the Human-supremacist Empire, Ackbar was the personal slave of Grand Moff Tarkin,  under whom he gained knowledge of Imperial theories of war.  Upon being liberated, Ackbar pledged his support and that of his people to the Rebellion. He believes that a united rebel front is necessary to destroy the evils of the empire.

Individual Directive Ability: Ackbar can broadly command the Mon Calamari people and determine their support for the greater Rebel Alliance with his individual directives. He supplies Mon Calamari MC80 Star Cruisers to the Alliance Fleet as well as a squadron of B-wing fighters, which his people designed. His knowledge of Tarkin's space warfare tactics allows him to anticipate the Grand Moff's offensive initiatives.

Senator Bail Organa

Known as "The Father of the Rebellion," Bail Organa was one of the founding members of the Rebel Alliance. Until recently, Organa was a full-time member of the Imperial Senate, who used his reputation for charity and morality to denounce the Empire and provide aid to worlds they had exploited. However, as Organa grew more publicly disillusioned with the Empire, he resigned his Senate seat to his adoptive daughter, Leia. Though now only a part-time delegate in the Senate, Organa still commands significant sway outside of the Rebellion, and is a key member of Alliance High Command.

Individual Directive Ability: Organa has general access to the resources of Alderaan, through which he can use his individual directives to arrange relief missions to blighted worlds and support the Alliance. Through careful manipulation of records, Organa can also divert shipments of starships and supplies to the Rebellion.

Garm Bel Iblis

A founder of the Rebel Alliance, Garm Bel Iblis is a charismatic, prideful, and independent leader who strongly believes in the power of a united rebel front. The former senator of Corellia began his fight against the Empire after the deaths of his family at the hands of Imperial agents, and his resulting militaristic fervor often puts him at odds with other Rebellion leaders, with Bail Organa as the sole mediator.

He sees advantages to splitting away from the Rebel Alliance, which would weaken Mothma and allow him to fight the Empire on his own terms.

Saw Gerrera

As experienced as he is dangerous, Saw Gerrera has been fighting without cease since the Clone Wars. As the leader of the extremist group known as the Partisans, Gerrera's brutal terrorist tactics have drawn criticism from many in the main body of the Rebellion. Gerrera's unpredictable nature and tendency towards violence mean that the Partisans' cooperation with Rebel High Command is far from guranteed, and there have already been numerous reports of civilian casualties during Partisan operations. Gerrera believes, however, that sometimes a little collatoral damage is necessary to fight a greater evil.

Individual Directive Ability: Gerrera leads the Partisans, a group of extremist freedom fighters who operate with a certain degree of independence from the Rebel Alliance, and who he can control the actions of with his individual directives. The Partisans possess several small outposts and headquarters throughout the galaxy, and have a small wing of fighters for air support.

Luthen Rael

Referred to in ISB files only as "Axis", Luthen Rael is willing to sacrifice everything for a sunrise he'll never see. To the general public (and to the Empire), Rael is merely a respectable Coruscanti antiques dealer. In reality, Rael has been an instrumental figure in the birth of the Rebellion, using his network of contacts and spies to execute daring strikes against the Empire. Rael is a close confidant of Mon Mothma, though the two often disagree over the best way to proceed in the fight against the Empire. Rael is a master tactician that is always thinking about the bigger picture - and much like a holoches grandmaster, Rael is happy to sacrifice a few pieces to win the game.

Individual Directive Ability: Thanks to Luthen's large network of spies, he can glean inside information about the planned actions of the ISB and the Empire. He is also a close friend and ally of Mon Mothma and Vel Sartha, though often works more closely with the latter. Additionally, Luthen owns a well-known antiques store, which currently keeps him hidden from the eyes of the Empire. The final tool in his arsenal is his heavily modified Fondor Haulcraft, which allows him to travel the galaxy incognito and avoid the more inquisitive Imperial patrols.

Individual Directive Ability: Hondo has built up a vast network of pirate accomplices and allies in his time, which he can call upon for secretive pieces of information and military backup through his individual directives.
