The Rebel Alliance doesn't appear in vs. debates as often as the Empire. Probably the most well known use of them is in one the most common Trekkie arguments, boasting that if the Rebels could defeat the Empire, the United Federation of Planets could do so as well. This argument has multiple flaws:
- It ignores the role of Palpatine's overconfidence in the Rebels' victoryat The Battle of Endor
- It ignores the fact that the Rebellion possesses the same technology as the Empire, and their industrial capacity is in own its right considerable, since they've built ships dwarfing nearly anything seen in Star Trek. Consequently, there's no reason to think that the Federation could defeat the Rebel Alliance, let alone the Empire.
