Alliance Contribution

At present, the Alliance divides its Contribution Ranks into a few distinct subgroups: the Alliance Civic Government, the Alliance Navy, Alliance Starfighter Command, Alliance Intelligence, Ordnance & Supply, and Support Services. In addition to this, individual Rebel cells often have their own rankings, although those ratings are often limited – those who achieve them frequently are invited to find posts within the greater Rebel Alliance, putting their skill and experience to wider benefit.

Alliance High Command

At the very top of the Alliance's structure is the Alliance High Command, a council that consists of the leaders of both the Civil Government and Alliance Forces, led by a single elected autocrat who functions as both Chief of State for the Civic Government, and Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance Forces.

• Chief of State • Commander in Chief: Rank 14+. This position acts as an elected autocrat with full power to make decisions both bureaucratic and military. This position is up for re-election every two years, and is considered to be immediately dissolved upon the dissolution of the Empire.
• Civic Government Members: Members include the Secretary of the Cabinet, and the six Alliance Ministers.
• Alliance Forces Members: Members include Fleet Command, Sector Command, Starfighter Command, Intelligence, Ordnance and Supply, and Support Services.

Alliance Civic Government

Established by the Corellian Treaty, this group is a government without a territory. Intended to coordinate efforts at overthrowing the Empire, the Alliance Civic Government technically considers itself a guerilla government on a galactic scale. This group's purpose is simple: to facilitate the diplomatic and bureaucratic apparati necessary to allow the Alliance Forces to function effectively. They have also set themselves up as a pan-galactic government for those worlds that join, but at this point that is a purely conceptual function: there are no worlds that consider themselves members, although the governments of many worlds in rebellion (secret or otherwise) do consider themselves to be co-allies.

Organization

• Clerks: Rank 0. Simple volunteers seeking to lend a hand in whatever fashion they might, a Civil Government clerk aids the Alliance bureaucracy in whatever way they might, lending various non-military skill sets to the Allliance's efforts. Clerks were frequently placed under the mentorship of a senior Aide.
• Alliance Aides: Rank 1-4. The aides are the rank and file of Alliance bureaucracy, frequently shuffled about as needed: an aide's career may include basic bureaucratic wrangling for anyone from the Chancellor to a particularly pressured Alliance Command post (although Alliance Commands are usually required to staff their own postings). Talented aides–whether diplomats, computer technicians, scholars, or quartermasters–are frequently watched closely and plucked out of general service to lend their talents to a specific Cabinet.
• Administrator: Rank 5-8. Alliance civil servants of this rank hold positions within specific Alliance Civil Ministries (Finance, Industry, Education, State, Supply, and War). Even those ministries that do not currently have Ministers still function, under the defacto leadership of the Secretary of the Cabinet. Administrators of this ranking are usually assigned work groups of aides and clerks to help get their jobs done.
• Minister: Rank 9-11. Alliance Ministers oversee one of the six core ministries that make the Alliance run. Currently, only three of them (Finance, Industry, and Education) have Ministers. The others run with skeleton crews overseen by the Secretary of the Cabinet.
• Secretary of the Cabinet: Rank 12-13. The Secretary of the Cabinet runs the Alliance Civil Government where the Chancellor cannot. The Secretary has an extensive bureaucracy to aid in their efforts, and the current Secretary, Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan, is already setting an impressive example for future holders of the office.
• Chief of State: Rank 14+.
