A modified version existed that was used by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances, the Alliance-in-exile, and over a century after Marek's death, the Galactic Alliance Remnant and the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. Ultimately this symbol was used for a variety of different governments, including: the Alliance to Restore the Republic, the Alliance of Free Planets, and the New Republic.
When the Alliance became the New Republic, the Starbird was retained as the central image of the new government's insignia.Īdar Tallon's family crest resembled an altered Starbird symbol. The Starbird most often appeared in bright red or blue but was also sometimes displayed in yellow, black, or gray. Often described as a rising phoenix, the Starbird represented the Alliance's goal of setting the stage for the Galactic Republic to rise again from the ashes of the Galactic Empire that it swore to topple. And indeed, a similar winged seal had been used by the Republic at the time of the Great Galactic War. However, by some accounts, the insignia had been taken from the seal of the Old Republic. The Rebels adopted the symbol from the family crest of the Marek family in honor of Galen Marek, Darth Vader's former apprentice, who sacrificed himself protecting the three founders of the Alliance.
