Partisans

The Partisans, also referred to as Saw Gerrera's militia, and Saw Gerrera's rebels were a militant insurgent group and rebel cell who enacted armed campaigns against the Galactic Empire during its reign. Led and founded by Saw Gerrera in 19 BBY, the Partisans played a part in destabilizing his homeworld of Onderon from occupying Imperial forces and eventually affiliated with the Alliance to Restore the Republic. However, some within the Alliance, such as Chancellor Mon Mothma of Chandrila and Viceroy Bail Organa of Alderaan, distanced themselves from Gerrera's faction over their willingness to resort to extreme tactics, such as torture and attacks on civilian targets. By 0 BBY, the militia had very little communication with the mainstream Alliance, and Gerrera's militia besieged the holy moon of Jedha with intentions of purging the Imperial occupation. Civilian casualties arising from Partisan attacks additionally influenced the Empire to denounce the Rebel Alliance as a terrorist group in propaganda posters.
