A little starwars-history

When Bothan spies discovered the location of a second Death star, Ackbar and the other military tacticians developed the plans for a surprise attack on the battle station. General Han Solo would lead a strike team down to the forest moon of Endor to destroy the source of the Death Star's protective energy shields. Meanwhile, General Lando Calrissian would lead the squads of X-wing,Y-wing, A-wing, and B-wing starfighters, and Mon Calamarian battle cruisers against the battle station itself.

Ackbar's(the Admiral of the rebbel fleet)plan would have worked except that the Death Star was already operational, and Solo's team was unable to immediately incapacitate the shields. Several of the Rebel command ships and frigates were destroyed, while the Alliance fighter ships had to deal with the Imperial TIEs and Stardestroyers.Ackbar ordered a withdrawal, but General Calrissian talked him into taking the battle closer and destroying the Stardestroyers. Both fervently hoped that Solo's team would succeed down on Endor. A bloody and destructive battle followed, but finally, the Alliance ships were victorious. Wedge Antilles and Lando Calrissian helped destroy the second Death Star, with Emperor Palpatine on board.

The Empire was severly crippled, but not dead. The day after destroying the second Death Star, Wedge Antilles captured an Imperial drone ship carrying a plea for assistance from Bakuran system. Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma(the leader of the rebellion)agreed to dispense a strike team to go to the aid of Bakura, which was under attack by the reptilian Ssi-ruuk. Ackbar put Luke in command of a team of five Corellian gunships, Wedge Antilles's Rogue squadron of X-wings, and a corvette.The Rebels were victorious at Bakura, and over the years they would aid other planets in need and make many successful attacks on the survivors of the Empire. Eventually the New Republic Council decided to move its headquarters to Coruscant's Imperial City, once the seat of Emperor Palatine. Mon Mothma and the others fell it the correct message to send to the galaxy; the Empire was dead and conquered, and the New Republic sat benevolently in its place, headquartered in the Imperial Palace.

While the provisional Council was trying to deal with its political issues and struggles, the war against the Empire was still skirmishing on the outer edges of the galaxy-and sometimes in the heart of it. Mothma, Ackbar, Fey'lya, and Leia Organa Solo formed a smaller group, called the Inner Coucil, that helped provide the immediate, day-to-day decisions needed by the New RepublicOne of the most pressing issues to face the Inner Council was the appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn and his fleet. Mothma and Ackbar oversaw the battle at Sluis Van shipyards and the resulting battle for control over the Katana Dreadnaught fleet, then faced an attack on Causcant as Thrawn released invisible, "cloaked" asteroids into orbit, stopping Alliance ships from leaving the planet.In the midst of these attacks, Ackbar was arrested and charged with treason. Thrawn had planted false evidence in Ackbar's credit accounts, and Fey'lya had implicated Ackbar for both the credit issues and for supposed military mismanagement at the Battle of Sluis Van. Ackbar was cleared through evidence gathered by a smuggler named Ghent, and he assumed his duties and helped lead the fleet to victory over Thrawn's forces in the battle at the Bilbringi Shipyards.

Soon after Thrawn's defeat, six Imperial Starfleet commanders joined with survivors of the Emperor's Ruling Circle to stage an assault on Coruscant. They succeeded in driving the New Republic away, and recaptured the planet. Later, the New Republic placed their headquarters on the Fifth Moon of Da Soocha in the Cyax system. There, Ackbar and the other Inner Council leaders dealt with the "resurrected" clone of the Emperor and his attacks on Mon Calamari, led by the ghastly World Devastators. Although the Rebels did manage to stop the devbastators, the death toll was high.Soon after, Ackbar helped plan a New Republic attack on the Imperial centers on Byss. The attack was partially successful, but not before the Da Soocha Pinnacle Base was destroyed by the Emperor-clone's Galaxy Gun. The New Republic had abandoned the base shortly before the attack, and Ackbar and the other leaders relocated again, this time to the abandoned floating space city of Nespis VIII. Within months the New Republic forces attacked the Imperial City on Coruscant yet again, and succeeded in driving the remnants of the Empire away. The New Republic Council returned the chambers of the Senate and resumed their attempts at restructuring and intergalactic government.
