Resistance

Resistance
(Work In Progress)

''"This is our time to fight. Our time to take back this galaxy from the Empire. May the Force be with us all today." -''Ahsoka Tano to the soldiers of the Resistance before the Battle of Coruscant.

The Resistance was a rebellion created from the ashes of the Galactic Republic, and from many other smaller rebel factions opposing the Galactic Empire in 15 BBY, which it stayed hidden for a year in their underground base on Dantooine, making small hit and fade attacks against the Empire. Then in 14 BBY, the Empire had discovered the Resistance's existence, and attacked, wiping out their HQ. They separated for a while, sending their main leaders on quite a few crazy adventures until finally regrouping at Hoth, which became their main base for the next 3 years. Then for those 3 years their leaders such as Ahsoka Tano, and the rest of the Resistance, waged war against the Empire until in 11 BBY they launched their final attack on the Empire, risking a dangerous gamble. (this is where the story divides up into the different three eras, which will be covered in the History part of this article)

Early days
Much like the Rebel Alliance, the Resistance's beginnings lied with smaller rebellions trying to help out civilians in need. Piete Kuffer's Corellian Insurgency was one of them, along with the Clone Rebellion on Kamino, which gave the last of the Fett DNA to them. While some would fight the Empire actively, others lied low, like Ahsoka, who had become a bounty hunter after the Clone Wars, working for the highest bidder to scrounge up money. Sometime in 15 BBY, the ghost of Piete Kuffer's father, John Kuffer, appeared to him and told him to find several people against the Empire. Kuffer did just that, and they all banned together. For over a year they made small strikes against the Empire and quietly built up their forces. In 14 BBY, a year after the Resistance was founded, the Imperials had discovered a spy in their midst. The ARC Trooper had resisted torture all the way until Darth Vader himself had interrogated him. He revealed the location of the Resistance's HQ, Dantooine. The Empire then formed an attack force to crush this hidden rebellion.
