SOME WELL KNOWN FICTIONAL RESISTANCE ORGANIZATIONS THE FRENCH RESISTANCE ( 'ALLO 'ALLO ) Led by Michelle, this resistance movement fights against the Germans in occupied France during World War Two . The Resistance (V) The RESISTANCE from the movie and TV series V (TV Series) . In this, aliens invade the planet under the guise of friendship. When the ''real'' intentions of the aliens are known, the people of Earth form The Resistance. The aliens arrive to Earth in gigantic "Flying Saucers". The Maquis (Star Trek) The Maquis in were formed when the Federation gave the Cardassian Empire some territory in exchange to end a war. Those Federation citizens living in the "disputed territories" formed a paramilitary group for defense, due to Cardassian raids, and also in reaction to being ''betrayed'' by their own government.This paramilitary group is called the Maquis , named for a real Resistance Group that was formed in World War II to combat Nazi occupiers and Nazi collaborators in France. When the Dominion appeared, these aliens slaughtered the Maquis. Survivors are either in Federation prison and/or '''mental hospital''' colonies, on ''Voyager'', in hiding. Current status of this militia is unknown. The Bajoran Resistance (Star Trek) In the Bajoran Resistance was formed upon the invasion of and brutal occupation of Bajor by Cardassian forces. The Wolverines (Red Dawn) In The Movie Red Dawn The Wolverines, a resistance cell, named after the high school sports team. Upon the invasion of the United States by Soviet and allied forces, a group of kids form a resistance group when Soviet paratroopers parachute near their school and begin firing on teachers, students. (This is a reference to a movie, NOT criminal actvities.) Eventually, their resistance cell, other resistance groups, alongside that of remnants of the US military eventually drive out the Soviet and allied invaders. The Rebel Alliance (Star Wars) The Rebel Alliance is the prominently featured resistance group in the Star Wars movies, ranging from "A New Hope" to "The Return of the Jedi", who oppose the oppressive Galactic Empire . After the fall of the Empire, they become the ruling New Republic . Magneto's Resistance Movement (Marvel universe) This is Magneto's resistance movement formed in reaction to humanity's racial, other negative attitudes towards the mutant humans who have unusual powers and abilities. While Professor X advocates that humans and mutants are equal, Magneto regards humans as a danger to mutants and that humanity should be forcibly '''exterminated''', while humans believe mutants should either be enslaved or destroyed. Sliders (TV show) Some of the Sliders TV shows depict resistance groups that fight "native" tyrants and/or aliens, mainly the Kromaggs on the different Earths the main characters encounter as they "slide" from Earth to Earth. The show is set in the present(at the time it was filmed), thus this may qualify as "alternate history". One episode depicted the grisly consequences of the successful passage of legislation similar to Prop. 187 in CA., another depicted the US under Communist rule, yet another depicted what happens as lawyers settle lawsuits in Old West gunfights instead of settling them in court, and yet other shows depict Earth under alien dominion, with some Earths fighting them. Another Sliders show depicted a Earth that is similar to the "Sword and Sorcery" movies. This implies that if you can imagine what ever you're imagining, there is a Earth or more than one Earth in which what you're imagining is that Earth's reality. AVALANCHE (Final Fantasy VII) AVALANCHE are a resistance group from the video game Final Fantasy VII , who attempt to save the planet from the Shin-Ra company that is attempting to drain the lifestream from the planet and converting it into 'Mako energy'.
