Resistance movement

A resistance movement or resistance organization was a group of individuals who were resolved to fighting off an occupying enemy force, usually by guerrilla warfare.
== Structure ==
According to Kira Nerys, "A resistance organization is structured into cells, autonomous groups of ten to twenty people. That way if anyone gets captured, their ability to compromise the organization is limited. They can't be forced to name names that they don't know." This was done in order to decentralize the movement's operation, and as such, "smaller groups are safer," because "[t]hey're harder to track down," which also lessens the risk of the entire movement being wiped out in a single attack.
