Monia's Guerrillas

Underground Resistance and Tactical Sabotage

Description

A resistance faction led by Monia, these rebels fight against Dalek occupation of Earth with brutal determination.

Their actions reveal a clear motive: undermine Dalek control while preserving human autonomy, even at the cost of escalating conflict.
