When the then Chancellor Palpatine![](MyCollection_Unit_Palpatine.jpg) | Palpatine(Human)CharacterMajor Characters | turned the Republic into his Galactic Empire, some of the Blue Guards refused to join the new Emperor's red-clad Royal Guard![](MyCollection_Unit_Imperial Royal Guard.jpg) | Imperial Royal GuardOrganizationGalactic Empire | . They may have had relations with the Alliance Elite Guard, who were tasked with nearly the same duties. Following the destruction![](MyCollection_Unit_Destruction of Alderaan.jpg) | Destruction of AlderaanEventGalactic Civil War | of the planet Alderaan by the Empire's Death Star![](MyCollection_Unit_DS-1 Orbital Battle Station.jpg) | Death StarStarshipSpace Stations | in 0 BBY the Rebel Honor Guard comprised survivors from that once ceremonious planet. While many Rebel officers lacked proper dress uniforms, the survivors of Alderaan had retained theirs, thereby conferring the Honor Guard a more solemn aura.
