History
The Resistance was a small secretive private military force that was established in the years of the New Republic. It was founded by rebel hero Leia Organa who created it with the goal of monitoring the actions of the First Order. Most of the power brokers of the New Republic tolerated the Resistance with them viewing Leia Organa along with her followers being fixated on the past. To survive, the crash-strapped movement relied on credits, ships and equipment that was secretly funnelled to them from the few Senators that were sympathetic to their cause.
In the aftermath, the Resistance continued to operate against the First Order which now was in control of the galaxy. Around this time, a mysterious informant was feeding intelligence to the Resistance. By this point, a transmission came to the galaxy that was seemingly by the slain Emperor Palpatine. The spy within the First Order then revealed that Palpatine had survived the Battle of Endor and was operated from a hidden world where he had built up a massive army known as the Final Order. These forces were linking up with the First Order in order to crush the Resistance and conquer the galaxy. Thus, the Resistance began to look to find the secret Sith world of Exegol and eliminate the fleet the Emperor had built on that planet.
