"It's the Resistance!"
The Resistance
Rising from the ashes of the Rebel Alliance, the Resistance is the last line of defence against the evil Galactic Empire. Formed from the survivors of the Alliance and Jedi Order alike, they battle with limited resources against overwhelming odds, risking their lives daily to protect the citizens of the galaxy from the iron fist of the enemy.
Can I be a Force user?
Absolutely. The Resistance accepts anybody in to its ranks to fight the good fight, regardless of history or origin. The survivors of the Jedi Order, if they're willing to fight the Empire, are not only welcomed, but wanted. While this is where Jedi can come to progress from padawan to knight to master under the current Jedi Knights serving, you can also ascend the military ranks of the Resistance.
Our Jedi are possibly a little more military minded than the Jedi of the old Order, but we're at war. There's a fight to be won.
Where is the Resistance located?
Wait. You're not an Imperial spy, are you? Because that sounds like the sort of question an Imperial spy would ask...
No? Okay, good. The Resistance currently operates out of the ruins of the Imperial base on Scariff. Yes, that's right, right under the Imp's noses. They haven't returned since shooting their own base and we get a lovely secret base out of it.
What can I play as?
Well, we've covered Jedi Knights, but outside of that, let your imagination run wild! Despite our lovely poster up there, we're not just after pilots (although they are welcome; we're home to the famous Black Squadron after all), soldiers, ground crew, spies, technicians, captains, warship engineers, generals, advisors, you name it, we're after it. Any heroic or good aligned character you can imagine can come along and sign up!
What's the Command Structure like?
Much like the Rebel Alliance before it, the Resistance is run by a committee of high ranking officers, political advisers and Jedi Masters. Currently, General Sari'atex and Jedi Master Mak Manto help lead, but if you have a character you think belongs on the committee, or wish to create one, we welcome it! After all, we're not a dictatorship. We leave the single leadership thing to the Emperor and his Empire.
Currently, Captain Alis'heen'amey, better known as Sheena, leads Black Squadron, the successor of the legendary Rogue Squadron, but she's always looking for new pilots if joining that squadron is what takes your fancy, or if you have the resources, you could lead a squadron yourself!
How small is the Resistance?
Part of the fun and excitement is that we're the underdogs. We're the last stand. The heroic freedom fighters who are outmanned and outgunned. So don't expect us to battle the Empire on an equal footing. This isn't the place for epic fleet battles where we match the Empire directly, or for us to be able to take a straight fight to Coruscant and immediately liberate it. We have to fight for every resource, every ship we steal, every battle we win, strengthens the Resistance and grows it, but that's exactly what we are; a growing faction. Part of the fun is knowing that when we lose a ship, it means something, when we lose a battle, it's not just a meaningless write off, we're fighting for our survival, and the survival of the galaxy, and it shouldn't be easy. But it should be fun!
How do I sign up?
Go to your profile and list The Resistance as your faction. Nice and simple! If you want to look for active threads, PM me on this account and I'll be happy to point you at one! Alternatively, post in our back room to start plotting missions and really stick it to the Empire!
