Mon Mothma

Mon Mothma's History

Mon Mothma was a human female Chandrilan politician and revolutionary leader who was a member of the Alliance whose goal was to restore the Republic's founding members and its civilian leader. During the final decades of the Galactic Republic Era, Mothma represented her home-world of Chandrila in the Republic Senate and, in this role, was an outspoken advocate of peace and democracy during the Clone Wars. After the reorganization of the Republic into the Galactic Empire at the end of the war, Mothma retained her seat in the now-Imperial Senate, but she began organizing underground resistance movements to combat the Imperial government alongside militant Luthen Rael and fellow senator Bail Organa of Alderaan. After years of leading a double life, Mothma became the impetus for the official establishment of the Rebel Alliance by resigning from the Senate and assuming leadership of the newly-established Rebellion. The Rebel Alliance, led by her, overthrew the Empire and restored the Old Republic as a nascent New Republic, of which Mothma was its first Chancellor.
