 The goal of the Rebels was not direct victory so much as mortally injuring the Empire from the inside, and holding on long enough to see a liberated galaxy. What plans they did have for the aftermath are unclear, given how many disparate groups participated. However, for such coordinated uprisings to take place, a central organization had to be overseeing it. Was it an ad-hoc coalition of mutually hostile forces against a greater common enemy, or did they have their own agenda?]]
