Rebel Cell Member

Rebel cell members make up the bulk of Alliance assets on Imperial-held worlds. These covert agents vary greatly in species, skills, and military knowledge. They are often the only Alliance presence on Imperial worlds and therefor must be self-motivated and able to operate without direct oversight. Given the need for secrecy, these agents are unaware of the extent of other Rebel cells operating in the same area. To cell members, secrecy is paramount, as is concealing their true loyalties from those around them.

Rebel Honor Guard

The guerrilla nature of the Rebel Alliance minimizes the use of ceremonial uniforms and personnel. However, there are occasion when pomp and formality are either required by protocol or desired by Alliance leaders and soldiers alike: medal cermonies, formal visits to high-ranking officials, and bereavement traditions, to name a few.

     The first Rebel Honor Guards are survivors of Alderaan, and the adapt their Alderaanian dress uniforms for their new role. Trained as bodyguards, they are the protectors of the Alliance leadership at formal occasions. though Honor Guards are not trained to the same level of ability or fanaticism as the Imperial Royal Guard, they are professional, loyal protectors. Honor Guard personnel are regularly rotated bak into standard Rebel units. There they share their new training with other unit members, which increases the likelihood that a few Honor Guards are available in any given sector. However, the primary reason for the personnel rotation is that Mon Mothma knows the dangers of keeping an elite unit too close to the Alliance’s leadership. By rotating the troops, she hopes to prevent them from developing a sense of elitism.
