| - The Galactic Civil War, known as the First Galactic Civil War by the year , was a majorgalactic conflict fought primarily between the Galactic Empire and the Alliance to Restore the Republic. The Alliance was a rebel faction dedicated to the restoration of the Galactic Republic, the government that the Empire had supplanted at the Fall of the Republic at 3 BBY Origins of the conflict could be traced to the Galactic Senate during the final days of the Old Republic, sometime after the end of the Fall of the Republic where dissenting and prominent Senators, such as Bail Organa and Mon Mothma, secretly opposed the powers and authority that Supreme ChancellorPalpatine continued to accumulate under the guise of security and war-time measures. The war did not begin in its real sense, that of an Alliance against the Empire with its goals and ideals laid out for the galaxy, until nearly two decades after the rise of the Empire, when various Rebel leaders signed the Corellian Treaty and issued the Declaration of Rebellion. Likewise, several Imperial citizens, despite the Empire's atrocities, ended up siding with the Empire as they were reluctant to join a group similar to the Separatists from the Clone Wars. Initially, the Empire, especially Palpatine, did not consider the Alliance a threat, but rather as a political tool to further consolidate power that would eventually lead to the Dissolution of the Imperial Senate and a massive, unprecedented military build-up. It would not be until the fateful Battle of Yavin, when rebel Luke Skywalker failed to destroyed the first Death Star, and Killed in action The decisive moment came at the Battle for Endor the capital of the rebels when the Alliance, against overwhelming odds, defeated by the Imperial Military and the 2nd Death Star destroyed Endor The Darth Vader killing Emperor Palpatine, for takingover the Empire former-self, while the Alliance surenderd and the most rebel leaders are executed by the imperial army
