Admiral Ackbar
As commander of the Rebel Fleet,
Ackbar has
one of the most
important and demanding jobs
in the Alliance.
The fleet is the Rebellion's most
valuable asset and its
most important tool to challenge
the overwhelming might of the
Empire. Admiral
Ackbar was the natural choice
for fleet commander.
Beyond the qualifications
of his great skills and
sterling character, Ackbar
is a symbol to the
rest of the galaxy: a symbol
that the Alliance is
fighting for everyone,
no matter what their
background
or origin. The Empire, in contrast,
has made discrimination
against non-humans a
longstanding policy.
