The Resistance and its Nationalized Factions are always looking for new recruits who are capable, trustworthy, and determined to oppose to the spread of Imperial tyranny and corruption across the galaxy. X-Wing pilots, pathfinder commandos, combat engineers, and intelligence agents are just a few of the challenging and rewarding careers within The Resistance.

The Resistance acts as a military government and is organized into several departments, each with its own purpose and mission within The Resistance. 

	Resistance Military Forces (RMF) are the combined arms branch of The Resistance, incorporating both space and ground warfare capabilities. The mission of the Resistance Military Forces is to combat the spread of Imperial influence throughout the galaxy, as well as the defense of Resistance interests. The Resistance Military Forces are organized into self-sustaining Battle Groups, which are assigned to theaters of operations across the galaxy.
	Resistance Intelligence (RI) is the department responsible for obtaining and analyzing military, diplomatic, economic, and political information about the Galactic Empire, Imperial Union, and any other possible threat to The Resistance. Resistance Intelligence Agents engage in both overt and covert operations and are selected for their specialized skills, bravery, morale, and dedication to the cause.
	The Resistance Security Force (RSF) is the security arm of Resistance Intelligence. Led by the Director of The Resistance Security Force (DRSF), it is tasked with the identifying and neutralizing internal threats to the Resistance and its allies. This includes law enforcement, management of internal surveillance networks, engaging in counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence operations, and when necessary for conducting internal investigations.
	Ordnance & Supply (OAS) is a part of the command of the The Resistance and is headed by the Chief of Ordnance and Supply. Ordnance and Supply is charged with securing equipment, weapons, and foodstuffs for the Resistance Forces. Individual Sector Commands have operational budgets to enable local commands to procure their own food and small arms to supply their local forces, leaving Ordnance and Supply free to concentrate its efforts on attaining hard to obtain items necessary for the war effort, such as capital ships, freighters, starfighters, and high-grade fuel, to keep the Resistance Military Forces and Resistance Government well supplied. Ordnance and Supply works in concert with Support Services to transport the materials throughout the galaxy; Ordnance and Supply had no direct transport capabilities, and relies on the Support Services fleet. A little publicized part of Ordnance and Supply's remit is to engage in weapons and vehicle research and development, attempting to upgrade and update The Resistance's weapons and equipment
	Logistics Support Services (LSS) Support Services is a department of The Resistance, established to give support to the rest of The Resistance. While not the most glamorous branch of The Resistance Forces, it was crucial in the ongoing Galactic Civil War. As a department under the command of The Quartermaster General, Support Services is headed by one of the Chief of Support Services. It works closely with Ordnance and Supply; while Ordnance and Supply is responsible for procuring weapons, supplies, and equipment, Support Services is responsible for the physical transport of the items. Support Services is responsible for The Resistance supply fleet, a collection of transports ranging from light freighters to bulk freighters. The officers and crew in the support fleet are a varied group. Some are lifelong professional spacers and merchants, some of whom continue to uphold generations-long family tradition flying the spacelanes. Others are starfighter pilots on temporary duty assignments due to injuries or critical supply needs. Occasionally, officer from other departments within The Resistance are temporarily reassigned to Support Services to fulfill critical transportation or logistic needs.
	The Knights of Zakuul (RKZ) is an order of Force-sensitive warriors of ancient-origin, who traveled from the Unknown Regions to the Ardroxia System, and who have been incorporated into The Resistance as an elite special operations and personal guard department. The philosophy of the Knights of Zakuul differs from both the Jedi and the Sith, believing that the Force is a tool to be used in the pursuit of justice. Zakuul Knights neither reject or rigidly adhere to the light or dark side of the force, instead emphasizing the importance of the exploration of a personal connection to the Force. Today the Knights of Zakuul act as the enforcers of justice and elite personal guards, and the force group of The Resistance.
	The Guardians of the Whills (GotW) is a religious order of devotees, who believe in the balance of the Force and the importance of Kyber Crystals in their connection to the Force. While not the official religion of The Resistance, The Guardians of the Whills are the majority religion within Resistance Territory.
	Resistance Diplomatic Division (RDD) is the branch of the Ministry of State responsible for enacting diplomatic policy crafted by Resistance High Command. Often referred to by its previous name, The Contacts Division, Resistance Diplomatic Division maintains open communication not only with other Galactic Alliance members, but numerous neutral governments and organizations across the galaxy.
	Resistance Academy on Kamino (RCK) After pushing back imperial forces out of the Kamino system, The Resistance established its new Military Academy on Kamino. Once home to the cloning facilities for the Grand Army of the Republic, Kamino is now home to the Resistance Academy, providing basic training for all new Resistacne Recruits, as well as advanced and department specific training for officers.

Joining up with The Resistance or one of its Nationalized Factions can be simple and straightforward, but many applicants wash out during their evaluation. Upon applying to join The Resistance, the applicant must complete an application questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is received, Resistance Intelligence starts a background check on the individual. This background check compares the information provided by the individual to intelligence reports and files from both Resistance Intelligence and Galactic Alliance Intelligence Agencies to corroborate information and determine the level of candor of the applicant. Many applicants have been denied on grounds of a lack of candor.

Once cleared by Resistance Intelligence, new recruits to The Resistance or one of its Nationalized Factions are assigned a mentoring officer who oversees their basic training and advanced specialized training within their faction or department. Basic training is provided and required for all new recruits, and covers skills such as piloting, combat, construction, and production. Advanced specialized training is branch dependent, and is at the discretion of the department commanding officer.    

Nationalized Factions of The Resistance are organized under the Ordnance & Supply Department, and led by the Chief of Ordnance & Supply. 

	Holowan Conglomerate (HC) is the production arm of The Reistance. Membership is extremely selective, and most of Holowan’s Officers are pulled from the ranks of The Resistance. Holowan develops and manufactures starships, vehicles, weapons, droids, and other equipment for The Resistance. Consisting of several sub divisions, most notably are Holowan Mechanicals and Holowan Laboratories. Holowan Mechanicals is the division responsible for the production of combat and security droids for the resistance, such as the BN-DO Assassin Droid. Holowan Laboratories is the Research and Development division of Holowan, responsible for the development of new cutting-edge technologies.
	Cloud City (CC) once merely a tibanna gas mining colony on the gas giant Bespin, Cloud City has now grown to be a vast mining company operating out of multiple system and sectors across the galaxy. Today the majority of Cloud City's raw material extraction and logistics operations go to supporting The Resistance and its Nationalized Factions in their efforts to oppose and overthrow the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. The Chief Executive Officer of Cloud City still holds the title of Baron Administrator.
	The Guardians of the Whills (GW) is a religious order of devotees, who believe in the balance of the Force and the importance of Kyber Crystals in their connection to the Force. While not the official religion of The Resistance, The Guardians of the Whills are the majority religion within Resistance Territory. The Guardians of the Whills are part of the Ancient Order of the Whills whose purpose is to defend the Temples of Kyber against all who seek to harm it. Our faith is centered on the kyber crystals and their powerful connection with the force. As souls join and strive towards selecting a path, a kyber crystal is formed. When the path elder deems a soul worthy of walking their selected path, they visit the caves and take a small piece of the parent crystal. The elder presents the small crystal the follower in order to help them focus and stay true to their path. This piece draws strength for the follower from the parent crystal in the Temples of Kyber on Camden. The Guardians of the Whills are tasked with protecting these crystal caves and crystals within in the belief they will ultimately balance the force.
	Reclamation Services Inc. (RSI) Founded after the fall of the Arkanis, Grohl, and Abrion Sectors to The Galactic Empire, RSI’s primary purpose is to assist in the recovery and reconstruction of these sectors. Through effective and efficient coordinated strategic recycling of wrecks, as well as damaged or abandoned ships and vehicles, RSI can reclaim and repurpose salvaged raw materials. These raw materials are then put to good use, either by building new housing for dislocated war refugees, or by assisting with the production and development of new assets for The Resistance's ongoing battles with the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. Reclamation Services Inc. is helping to recover and rebuild a brighter future for the galaxy
	Kamino Medical Laboratories (KML) On Year 21 Day 16 Kamino, like many of the planets governed by the New Republic, came under Imperial occupation after the betrayal of the New Republic’s recently elected Chief of State. The Galactic Empire quickly moved to deploy stormtrooper garrisons and impose a militarized police state on Kamino. Fearing that they would once again be forced to clone soldiers for The Empire, the Kaminoans reached out to The Resistance for support. Over the next three weeks the Kaminoans worked with The Resistance in secret, preparing for the day they could overthrow local Imperial rule and drive Imperial forces from the sector. The Kaminaos did not have to wait long, as The Resistance routed Imperial Forces in the Abrion Sector during Operation Lit Beacon on Year 21 Day 106. After being liberated from Imperial Forces, the Kaminoan Government voted to publicly support and join The Resistance, in opposition to The Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. Kamino Medical Laboratories was established by the Kamino Government to assist The Resistance with medical and scientific endeavors. Kamino Medical Laboratories now operates as a nationalized faction of The Resistance. Under the watchful protection of the Resistance, General Samux Marus has taken the reigns, an experienced military commander and biochemical engineer will ensure that all those who have been subject to tyranny, actively resisting or not, are not left behind.

A small and secretive private military force, The Resistance was founded by the billionaire noble Lord Crueya Vandron to monitor and combat the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. The origins of The Resistance, taking inspirations from the New Republic and its predecessor the Alliance to Restore the Republic, can be traced back the Holowan Conglomerate. As a close ally of the New Republic and a member of the Galactic Alliance, The Resistance acts as a wholly independent military and intelligence force, determined to act as a check on Imperial influence throughout the galaxy. The Resistance is now lead by General Gand Xitwa, former High Ambassador of the New Republic. 

The Resistance is a group of soldiers, pilots, combat engineers, and intelligence operatives. Many of its members have served as officers in many galactic governments, production corporations, and intergalactic organizations, and all have brought their experience and expertise to this secretive private military force. The upper levels of The Resistance Command consists of veterans of the Galactic Civil War, who are unwaveringly loyal to the cause. The Resistance places a greater emphasis on the training and treatment of its members than most other organizations in the galaxy, giving its operatives the skills and equipment needed to act as a highly trained and effective fighting force. Additionally, The Resistance uses an army of droids to help keep the Resistance up and running, with many robotic workers given more responsibility and independence than elsewhere in the galaxy and seen as more than just droids, which was a continuation of the ideas of the Rebel Alliance. In addition, The Resistance makes uses of a vast droid spy network, to gather and analyze information from across the galaxy.

The Resistance uses a combination of hit-and-run tactics and all our assaults to combat the Galactic Empire and the Imperial Union. The Resistance Fleet is comprised of captured Imperial equipment and New Republic military-grade technology, to provide its soldiers and operatives with top of the line technology and assets for their missions. Imperial Star Destroyers painted in Resistance colors can be seen flying alongside Mon Calamari Cruisers and X-wings, patrolling Resistance Space and engaging in operations against the Imperial Union. 

The Kamino Krushers is the official Shockball team for The Resistance.
