Tyssan's Rebels — Organization

Description

A faction of escaped prisoners and dissident Movellan operatives united by Tyssan's leadership, this group conducts targeted seizures of Movellan control units to undermine their cybernetic command structure. Operating with tactical precision, they ambush isolated Movellan personnel like Lan, strip them of command authority, and redistribute control—both to consolidate their own power and to disrupt the Movellan chain of command. Their methods reveal coordinated training in electronic sabotage and intimate knowledge of Movellan systems. Initially positioned as subordinates within Graff Vynda-K’s broader authoritarian regime, their defection represents the first fracture in the alliance against Davros and the Daleks, with their actions directly threatening the fragile balance aboard the Nova Device.
