As the commander of the Alliance Fleet, Admiral Ackbar led the Rebel capital ships into the Battle of Endor. Ackbar is a member of the Mon Calamari species and his people manned the distinctive warships supplied to the Rebellion by that aquatic culture. Ackbar was responsible for developing the attack strategy for the Battle of Endor, and commanded the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser Home One. The combination of his proven military tactics and General Lando Calrissian's unorthodox maneuvers were enough to secure victory in the Alliance's most important battle.

Beyond his amazing character and mastered skills, Ackbar was a symbol to the rest of the galaxy.....the Alliance is fighting for everyone in the galaxy, regardless of species.
