That'd be an interesting idea to play with, especially if any of the rebels are ex-militia or really high morals and then suddenly they're on an ex-pirate ship that still won't be exactly squeeky clean.

Well, the Uslam Liberators started from a miner labor union turned into a fighting regiment when their planet fought against the Empire (and got crushed by huge superior forces), so yeah, they are anti-Empire resistance, not a bunch of dirty pirate scum.

So, of course, having dirty pirate scum as the "Navy" crew, potentially led by a Hutt, makes for an amusing immersion into the fringe.
