An guerilla force composed of soldiers and civilians alike - predominately from the former North Sahrani and remnants of its armed forces[3], the Resistance are commanded by none other than Crown Prince Orlando, the rightful heir and first in the line of succession to the throne of the Kingdom. The group was formed in the months that followed the passing of King Joseph III and Orlando's supposed "death" in an aviation accident.[4][5]
The Resistance has one primary goal: the overthrowing of Orlando's sister, the incumbent Queen Isabella. Her continued oppression of the northern provinces and persecution of opposition parties has united the unlikely sides into joining together to liberate the nation.[1][4]
Covertly, the Resistance are even backed by some members of the Queen's own cabinet such as her press secretary, Raoul Gonzales, who fed intelligence and updates on the activities of the Queen's forces to the guerillas.[6]
Post-Royal Flush[]
With their commander's death[7][8] and the disappearance of other crucial backers within the organisation[9], it remains doubtful if the Resistance will be able to continue their struggle against the Queen for much longer. The Kingdom's iron grip over the northern provinces tightens with each passing day, with more members finding themselves incarcerated or "liquidated" by security forces.
Members of the Resistance wear scavenged uniforms camouflaged in a mixture of woodland camouflage patterns. Whenever possible, olive-coloured body armour vests are worn alongside their uniforms, though most fighters lack access to combat helmets and merely don caps, wool hats and/or berets for headgear.
Due to their lack of a reliable supply chain, the Resistance's fighters do not have standardised equipment and utilise hardware sourced both from foreign arms smugglers and salvaged SLA stockpiles. Fighters mostly wield Russian-made weapons ranging from AK-74 assault rifles, RPG-7V rocket launchers, and PKM medium machine guns.
Vehicular options are similarly limited due to the group's need to maintain a low profile from the prying eyes of the Queen's loyalists. As such, fighters rely on converted civilian vehicles such as Urals, UAZs and Pickup trucks to bypass security forces. If overt action is required, their vehicles may be retrofitted with improvised 12.7 mm heavy machine guns to provide fire support.

Formed partly by the remnants of the original Northern army, and partly by the people turned off by the policies of the new Queen, the insurgents operate from the northern hills and forests."

The biological weapons were but a smoke screen for killing the Crown Prince Orlando - that's why they didn't want the local troops to handle it! The prince was presumed dead, killed in the helicopter crash with his father. It turns out that the helicopter was actually sabotaged on Isabella's orders. Having discovered her dirty secret, we are now unlikely to get off the island with the Queen's blessing. We had to join the rebels and fight our way out. We have also learned about the concentration camps and other atrocities of this 'legitimate' government. The Resistance fear that the hostages in one of these camps, at Matamoros, are in danger of being summarily executed. We are now going to join them in their effort to prevent this heinous crime."

Being an official spokesman, I had access to all kind of information. I thought that should you, one day, lay claim to the throne, it would benefit you to have someone in such a position. It isn't necessary to infiltrate the palace if I am already in it. I tried my best not to awaken any suspicions. Never did I stop being faithful to you, my Lord."

New contracts! Business ties! Luxury hotels! The international community wants stability, and so they recognize Isabella's claim to the throne. As of now she's the rightful queen, the only one they have here. Who could deny it? Everyone is going to accept that the alleged prince wasn't the real prince, but an impostor, trying to play a prince. The impostor is dead, long live the queen! They will quietly forget about our engagement. They will forget about the prince. In the end, he died in some stupid crash... it's been almost a year already... it's nobody's fault... there're no doubts... case closed..."
