Talk:Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends

Image weirdness
I uploaded the symbol of the Alliance just as it is on Wikipedia; same name, same image. When I look at this article, I still see the Missing Image message. I've cleared my cache and restarted my browser and everything, but it still won't show up. If I come to the article via the Rebel redirect, I see the image. If, while viewing "Rebel Alliance", I click on the edit link, then I see the image in the preview. But looking at the article itself without following a redirect I still can't see the image. Anyone have a clue what's going on? -- Aidje 13:21, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC) Hey, the "Remember Alderaan" poster is in our alphabet. Why not in Aurabesh? Just a thought. Θ 20:25, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It works now. So weird. I guess I just need more patience. -- Aidje 13:22, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Do we know what the symbol is supposed to repersent? IF yes, such a reference should be included here 62.74.50.200 21:28, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * A "terrestrial" explanation would be that it represents a phoenix rising from the ashes of the fallen Galactic Republic. Surely there is an IU equivalent, but I do not know if it has ever been named. --SparqMan 20:18, 13 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, knowing how some Earthly animals have been called "Space (animal name)", we could always say it is a "Space Pheonix" or "(some planet name) Pheonix". Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:20, 13 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Whoever made it obviously didn't care. Plus, someone from Earth made it, not someone in the Alliance. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:27, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I see. Where is the image from anyways? Θ 02:11, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I've seen it on a fan site once, but I don't know whether it's fan art or not. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:23, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Its from a RPG sourcrbook... like the Empire Propaganda Poster and the CSA Propaganda Poster. Cant remember if it was the galactic campaign guide or the Hero's guide Razzy1319 03:09, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * CSA? Don't you mean "CIS"? Admiral J. Nebulax 20:59, 2 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Corporate Sector Authority propaganda poster, so is the Empire Propaganda poster --Razzy1319 21:48, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Oops. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:33, 25 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Padmé Amidala
While Padmé Amidala was an outspoken opponent to Palpatine, and a sympathetic ally to Mon Mothma and Bail Organa, I have not seen a source that indicates she was directly involved in the foundation of the formal Alliance that was created by Mon Mothma, Organa and Garm Bel Iblis with the Corellian Treaty. What sources say otherwise? --SparqMan 23:42, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC) Acturally, Garm Bel Iblis was part of the Delegation of 2000. -- SFH 21:21, 11 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * She was part of the Delegation of 2000 (which contained Organa and Mothma, but not Bel Iblis), which was the Alliance forerunner, but not the actual Alliance itself. Her databank entry on the OS site should explain this further. QuentinGeorge 05:55, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Who Created It?
If it wasn't Bail and it wasn't Mon than who created The Alliance? Dylankidwell 01:23, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, really, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Garm Bel Iblis were the founders of the Alliance. There were other Senators that also helped in the formation of the Rebel Alliance, but those three are the key founders. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 12:41, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I read somewhere, that in theory, that Amidala was the de facto founder of the Alliance. But if the canonicity lies with the Corellian Treaty, I'm willing to go with that. Θ 20:29, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, that idea is completely wrong. Amidala wasn't even a member of the Alliance. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:55, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Regardless, she helped form it. Finis Valorum, was infact the man considered to be the de facto founder of the Republic.
 * No, she did not. She had nothing to do with the Rebel Allaince itself. Admiral J. Nebulax 13:23, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Members?
I see a 'members' section on Alliance of Free Planets, but not here. Do we have any clear member planets/systems to add to such a section? Or at least planets with a Rebel presence/internal conflict. VT-16 15:33, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't think a planet with a Rebel presence counts. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:43, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Most planets that declared support for the Alliance (and even some that were simply suspected of doing so) usually got an Imperial Star Destroyer in orbit. Said ISD usually blasted the populace back to the stone age. Thus, only a few planets actually declared support openly. So it would be a relatively small number. -- SFH 19:51, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * True. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:55, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Ralltiir, Gerrard V, Mon Calamari, Abridon, Averam, Alderaan, Virgillia, Togoria, etc. Many former CIS worlds joined the Alliance. Anyway, by the time of the Battle of Yavin, the Rebels could challene the Empire in open conflict -SWF

Alliance redirect
Alliance redirects here. Should we turn Alliance into a disambig page for the other Alliance's, such as the Galactic Alliance, the Alliance of Free Planets, and the Corporate Alliance? -- SFH 19:02, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I think so. Alliance is too broad a word to be limited to one article. --AdmThrawn 19:05, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Admiral J. Nebulax 19:12, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Name?
Why insisting on naming it Alliance to Restore the Republic and not Rebel Alliance? Almost everybody refers to it like that and it is also the name used in the databank. --UVnet 15:22, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Alliance to Restore the Republic is the offical name of the Rebel Alliance. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Major Edit
I have been adding a great deal of information to this page, namely under the history and government sections. It is a shame that such an important article is so short and lacking in detail. Lets all try to pitch in and fix this article! :-) AdmiralNick22 18:03, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
