The Resistance

*"Everyone fights for slightly different ideals and goals; Just think about the people you've met so far." - Naga; Issue 1*

The Resistance (Also know as The Revolution, and The X society)

## Organization

The resistance has a notoriously short hierarchy. There are only three tiers of rank, with the bottom two tiers having two ranks within them.

### Soldiers

Soldiers make up the majority of the fighting force of the resistance. Individual soldiers have experience ranks (from 0 to presumably 10) representing their experience ranks and skill, though no soldier has authority over any other. Experience ranks exist mostly to help squad leaders organize and plan. Soldiers are generalized fighters, typically found in the heat of combat.

### Runners

Runners report to a squad leader much like soldiers, but are known for typically non-combat solo operations. Runners are specialized for mobility and infiltration. They typically deliver packages and sensitive information, as well as being responsible for maintaining the physical infrastructure of the rogue net.

**Squad Leaders**

Squad leaders are picked from the ranks of soldiers who have achieved a sufficient experience rank. Advancement from soldier to squad leader or star soldier is the only advancement in rank that most members of the resistance have a chance of achieving. Squad leaders command a squad of anywhere from 3 to 20 soldiers. The number of runners assigned to a squad leader is not known.

### Star Soldiers

Star soldiers are soldiers which have achieved a sufficient rank and/or proven themselves a valuable asset to the resistance. Star soldiers are sent on solo missions, much like runners, although star soldiers are meant for combat. They are the resistance's equivalent to the Elite MP,

### Founders

The leaders of the resistance. While most of the 'founders' are the original members of the resistance, it is not actually a requirement to achieve the rank. The founders serve as a council, voting amongst themselves on promotions to founder rank and on large-scale decisions.

**The X Society**

The term "X society" has been used to describe the resistance itself, though that is a misnomer. The X society is a smaller group within the resistance who's membership is not known to those not within it. Most likely it includes Naga and other members of the founders. The X society may also simply be a rumor among resistance members.

## Policies and Guiding Philosophy

Besides being an anti-fascist revolutionary group, the resistance has no single governing ideology. The personal beliefs of the founders could be seen as their de-factor policies, although each individual member of the resistance may fight for their own ideals. They are a unified front against a common enemy. Their opposition to the status quo without a unified end goal may also categorize them as an anti-centrist group.

The resistances primary tactics are vigilantism, terrorism, and guerilla warfare. Although members have been known to peacefully protest and partake in individual direct action while off-duty.
