abstract | - The Galactic Resistance, also known simply as the Resistance, or Resistance Rangers, is a military coalition that was formed to oppose the Protectorate and defend neutral space from Protectorate invasion. It was intially comprised of hijacked star cruisers and super carriers from the decommissioned fleet of the Merchant Defense Forces - now defunct, and supplemented by a number of small frigates and personal attack freighters that comprised the Resistance Regulars, prior to their conversion into the Rangers. While signifcantly inferior in number, power, and resources the Resistence has blossomed into a stronger military force than was intially thought possible due to the dedication of talented officers and a strong will to fight. It's leadership has largely been in the hands of a number of political, para-military, and governmental leaders, with executive powers resting with the late-Chancellor D.N. Jevelain and the fleet's General Rosalyn Blackmoon. Forces found within the Resistance include the renown Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron, as well as the rapidly developing corps of elite shock troopers known as the Resistance Rangers and the infamous 5th battle group.
