Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service

The Rebel Alliance Intelligence Service, also known as Alliance Intelligence, Rebel Intelligence, or Rebel Alliance Intelligence, was a branch of the Alliance to Restore the Republic responsible for obtaining and analyzing military, diplomatic and economic information about the Galactic Empire and reporting such information to the relevant branches of the Alliance. By the Battle of Scarif, General Airen Cracken was the Chief of Intelligence, and he still held the position at the time of the Battle of Endor. In a journal entry kept within the Rebel Files, chief of state Mon Mothma stated that she didn't particularly like working with Intelligence, adding that agents like Davits Draven had a chilly moral pragmatism that they could use to justify any crime.
Rebel Intelligence officers wore green rank insignia.
==History==
===Formation===
Rebel Intelligence was formed between 19 BBY and 18 BBY, during the early days of the rebellion against the Galactic Empire. Former Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano took over command of the Intelligence network after she was recruited into the rebellion by Senator Bail Organa. Their strategy was to identify and observe emerging resistance cells and determine whether they were competent in disrupting Imperial operations and remaining hidden. Organa regarded it as cruel but necessary, as the Empire could easily destroy amateur groups and compromise the entire organization Organa and Senator Mon Mothma were attempting to create.
