When the Rebels were ready to fight and had formed an official organization with countless allied systems, it became clear that the cause needed a public statement to ensure its legitimacy. Mon Mothma supplied an open Declaration of Rebellion in which the grievances of the Rebel Alliance were stated and concluded with an open threat to depose the Emperor, while the Corellian Treaty was signed at the Corellian System Meetings. With these acts, the Empire went to work to crush the insurrection, while various allies secretly made their contributions to the Alliance, slowly making the united Rebel Force even more powerful.

Kaleesh The Kaleesh are a nomadic and politically neutral race from the planet Kalee. The capital ships of a Navy are its "important" warships the ones with the heaviest Firepower and Armor.
According to the RPG, part of the Alliance's strategy was "the Doctrine of Space Denial" in which the Alliance would attack Imperial shipping in hit and run raids both to disrupt Imperial supplies and operations and to illegally confiscate desperately needed materials. Consequently, their starfighters had hyperdrive capability along prearranged routes which would allow this kind of harassment and escape before the Empire could react.
Through their intelligence network, the Alliance learned of the construction of the Death Star, an enormous battle station intended to secure the Empire's power. The Death Star is a Fictional Space station and Superweapon appearing in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe. Operation Skyhook, a military operation commanded by Princess Leia and involving Keyan Farlander and Kyle Katarn, was successful in stealing the schematics of the station, but her ship was crippled and captured by the Imperial fleet while attempting to deliver them.

This government collapsed during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion of the galaxy; in fact, its collapse became clear because it traded order for freedom and its control over the galaxy was minimal, by allowing the galaxy to sustain on a simple ideal rather than having it controlled by bureaucracy. Later, it was re-organized into the Galactic Alliance, taking a more formal, governmental role.
