Having seized control of the galaxy after the Clone Wars, the Empire exercised an iron rule over the galaxy up to the time of Star Wars: Rebels and the Original Trilogy. As seen in The Bad Batch, surveillance was widespread and meticulous. Each citizen was assigned Imperial “chain codes,” and much of the ship traffic was tracked by Imperial agents. In such a stifling environment, it is hard to imagine how the Rebel fleet grew even to its modest size by the time of Rogue One. Out-powered and outmanned by the Imperial Navy, the fleet also suffered enormous losses yet was the strongest it had ever been during the final battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. How were the Rebels able to construct and organize such an enduring fleet despite constantly facing Imperial restrictions and superior firepower?In many ways, the fleet’s existence and survival came down to time and planning. The fleet was painstakingly constructed in secret by Bail Organa and other Rebel “cell” leaders, and it was kept fragmented over many star systems. The Rebellion’s first major fleet battle against the Empire was Rogue One’s Battle of Scarif, which took place 19 years after the Empire first came to power. The fleet was after almost two decades of planning, consolidation and theft from the Empire, with the Rebels gradually constructing a force capable of engaging an Imperial fleet directly. However, even after its painstaking creation, the fleet faced total destruction many times. On each occasion, the Rebel fleet managed to avoid annihilation in the face of overwhelming odds.This emerging fleet could strike from the shadows before departing to secret bases. These hit-and-run tactics were aided since many cell members — such as Kanan Jarrus — were not initially aware they were part of a wider Rebel network. If captured by Imperials, most Rebels could only reveal one cell’s location since only certain Rebel commanders knew the whereabouts of multiple cells and squadrons. This clandestine approach helped the fleet gradually grow despite setbacks, with no single major target for the Empire to strike. Bail Organa began planning the fleet shortly after Order 66 and, along with his wife, Breha, and other Rebel commanders, meticulously orchestrated its creation. The fleet would go on to expand and confront the Empire’s massive firepower long after the Organas’ deaths on Alderaan, proving the effectiveness of the strategies they laid out.
