Declaration of Rebellion/Legends

The Declaration of Rebellion was crafted by Mon Mothma, addressed directly to Emperor Palpatine and ratified by the resistance representatives at the Corellian System Meetings to counteract the Galactic Empire's propaganda that labeled rebel fighters as terrorists, pirates, and thieves, and was the main cause for Palpatine's dissolution of the Imperial Senate.
The Declaration was released prior to the Battle of Yavin. The newly formed Alliance distributed millions of copies of the Declaration. In the Declaration, the principles and grievances of the Alliance were laid out, and it concluded with an open vow to overthrow Palpatine's regime.
The Declaration proved so stirring that a number of systems decided to openly declare their defiance of the Empire against Mon Mothma's advice. Those systems paid the price for their political imprudence as the Empire reacted swiftly to their actions with ruthlessly overwhelming force and suppressed them.
