Corellian Treaty The Corellian Treaty was an accord that created the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Signed by the leaders of anti - Imperial resistance groups on Alderaan , Corellia , and Chandrila , the treaty formally declared war on the Empire . Though the meeting to create the treaty was arranged by Galen Marek , this proved to be a deception by his former master , Darth Vader , who raided the meeting with the Stormtrooper Corps and captured the three senators . Had Galen not survived his confrontation with his former master , the Empire would have effectively ended the Rebellion before it even began . History . Gathering . Garm Bel Iblis , having consolidated the resistance forces on Corellia under one command structure , called Bail Prestor Organa of Alderaan and Mon Mothma of Chandrila , who had discussed potential revolution at the Cantham House Meetings , to Corellia for a new series of discussions . These Corellian System Meetings proved more successful , and the three resistance leaders drafted the Corellian Treaty as a codification of their common ideals and goals . Bel Iblis , Organa , and Mothma ’ s signing of the treaty formalized the relationship between the Corellian , Alderaanian and Chandrilan resistance forces , respectively , from a loose coalition to an organized rebellion . The treaty itself provided a command structure for the Alliance intended to allow each force to govern itself while providing a strong centralized component to coordinate all efforts . It organized the civil aspects such as diplomacy , transport and supply into one tree , bundled all military operations into another , and placed the Commander - in - Chief and Advisory Council at the top . Organa told Bel Iblis and Mothma that he could fund a rebellion , while Bel Iblis would provide ships for its fleet , and Mothma would help provide soldiers . Imperial attack . The treaty , having been suggested by Darth Vader to Marek , was actually a ploy by Emperor Palpatine to lure all of his enemies into a single place to capture them . Just as Bail Organa declared the treaty finalized , Imperial forces suddenly swarmed the building . As Stormtroopers burst into the meeting room and killed all of the guards , Bail ordered PROXY to cut Leia ' s transmission , concealing her involvement . As PROXY did so , Darth Vader marched into the room , commanding the troopers to capture the Rebels alive for personal execution by the Emperor . Kota immediately drew his lightsaber and charged at Vader , but the Sith Lord easily incapacitated him with a Force grip , tossing him aside . As the Rebels were rounded up by the stormtroopers , Vader approached Marek and complimented him on his performance , revealing to the shocked Rebels the " Jedi ' s " position as his apprentice , before telekinetically smashing the stone table in the room into Marek . Marek was hurled out of the meeting room onto the snow - covered cliff ledge surrounding the site . As he attempted to regain his feet , he angrily questioned Vader regarding his presence , as he had agreed to stay away . The Sith Lord stated that he had lied , as he had done so from the very beginning . Realizing the very beginning referred to the beginning of his apprenticeship under Vader , Marek now knew that Vader had no intention of destroying the Emperor — not with " him " , anyway . Vader grasped Marek with the Force and hurled him over the cliff , though Marek managed to grab hold of the edge . Marek looked up at the advancing Vader , calmly declaring that Vader would never be free without him . As Vader raised his lightsaber to finish Marek , he was suddenly attacked from behind by what appeared to be Obi - Wan Kenobi , Vader ' s former Jedi Master . Briefly caught off guard , Vader was forced back a step . However , he quickly rallied , blasting Kenobi back with a Force push and impaling the Jedi before he could recover . " Kenobi " suddenly dematerialized , revealing himself to be PROXY utilizing his Kenobi combat module . The holodroid fell to the ground , his last word being a call to his master , distorted by his failing computers . Vader kicked the droid lightly to check if he was subdued , and satisfied that he was , turned back to the cliff . However , Marek was gone , having lost his grip and fallen while Vader had dealt with PROXY . Vader deactivated his lightsaber and rejoined the troopers within . However , Marek had survived his fall , and was rescued by Juno Eclipse . Resolving to pursue Vader and rescue the Rebels , Marek used the Force to locate their ultimate destination ; the Death Star . Rescue and completion . The three senators and Kota were taken before the Emperor himself , who gloatingly declared that they would be tortured , interrogated , and ultimately , executed . However , before Palpatine could dispose of the Rebels , Marek arrived and confronted Vader and Palpatine . The Jedi almost killed Vader , but lost his life confronting the Emperor after nearly killing him as well . Thus , he still bought the time for the Rebels needed to escape . Later , after Marek ' s death at the hands of Darth Sidious , the Anti - Imperial Senators returned to Corellia and revived PROXY . Afterwards , Leia met with Bail Organa , Mon Mothma , Garm Bel Iblis , Rahm Kota , Juno Eclipse , and PROXY on Kashyyyk , forming the Rebel Alliance . Leia picked a symbol for the Alliance , the symbol of the Marek family , in a tribute to Galen Marek , his family and his victories against the Empire , and so began the Galactic Civil War . Legacy . The treaty inspired dozens , then hundreds , then thousands of resistance cells across the galaxy to join the Alliance , such as Sian Tevv and the Sullustans and Jenssar SoBilles and his Duro fighters . Several organizations became part of the Rebel Alliance , including Kota ' s Militia and most of the surviving Separatist holdouts . In which they soon established Sanctuary Base on Dantooine , as the first command center of the Rebel Alliance . One of the stipulations of the Corellian Treaty was that , upon the death , resignation , or overthrow of Palpatine , the position of Chief of State would cease to exist . Instead , a Constitutional Convention was required to be called , to debate the form of the restored Galactic Republic . Behind the scenes . The Corellian Treaty , the founding document of the Rebel Alliance , was originally introduced in the roleplaying book " Rebel Alliance Sourcebook " ( 1990 ) and was subsequently mentioned in numerous other sources . However , the circumstances resulting in the signing of the treaty and the birth of the Alliance were not fully established until the release of the 2008 multimedia project " " . A number of implied and stated details were changed for the purposes of " The Force Unleashed " , such as the motivation of the founders .
