'''Alliance headquarters''' is the base system of the [[Rebel Alliance]] in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]''. It begins every game completely loyal to the Alliance and at a random location, and the [[Galactic Empire]] wins in part by finding and destroying it.<ref name="manual-p11" /><ref name="manual-p22" /><ref name="manual-p67" />

== Starting position ==
The headquarters starts on a randomly chosen system on the Galactic Rim. An Alliance player sees it on the Galactic Information Display as a system ringed by a white star, and it is visible in the Sector window, while the Empire does not know where it is.<ref name="manual-p67" /><ref name="manual-p132" /> The tutorial's example places it at Vjun in the Moddell sector, but the manual states that its location differs in each game.<ref name="manual-p44" /> [[Mon Mothma]] starts on the headquarters system.<ref name="manual-p37" /><ref name="manual-p90" />

== Moving the headquarters ==
The Imperial headquarters at [[Coruscant]] is fixed, but this one can relocate. The player drags its icon onto another system, or right-clicks it, chooses Move and picks the destination. Confirmed Move first shows the transit time.<ref name="manual-p133" /> The manual advises preparing a well-defended new site and bringing part of the old site's defending troops, fighters and personnel.<ref name="manual-p133" /> A move costs the Alliance a little popular support on the system that was left behind.<ref name="manual-p88" />

== Defense and discovery ==
The manual calls it critical that the headquarters be well defended, since the Empire is almost certain to attack once it finds the site. Repeated enemy [[Espionage mission|Espionage]] and [[Sabotage mission|Sabotage]] missions against it, reported by the player's agents, suggest that the Empire has discovered it.<ref name="manual-p132" /> The manual also advises defending the key characters the opponent needs to capture.<ref name="manual-p133" />

== Loss ==
An Alliance player who loses the headquarters suffers a severe drop in popular support. The manual describes this as affecting the sector in one passage and the entire galaxy in another.<ref name="manual-p88" /><ref name="manual-p133" /> Nothing can be done afterward, because a lost headquarters is destroyed.<ref name="manual-p133" />

The Empire destroys it either by bombarding the headquarters and then taking the system by assault, or by destroying the system with the [[Death Star]]. The manual recommends first finding it with [[Reconnaissance mission|Reconnaissance missions]], following up with Espionage missions, and then blockading the system.<ref name="manual-p134" /> Destroying it is the Empire's headquarters objective in both the standard and the headquarters-only forms of [[Victory conditions]].<ref name="manual-p11" /><ref name="manual-p158" />
