Vogan Resistance

Anti-Cyberman Military Resistance Operations

Description

The Vogan Resistance is a faction of Vogan dissenters led by Kellman, working to counter the Cybermen's genocidal campaign by developing a rocket capable of destroying Cyberman forces. Operating in secrecy from within Voga, they represent a militarized opposition to the Cybermen's existential threat, though their efforts remain fragmented and ultimately compromised by Kellman's betrayal. Their tactics include limited technological warfare and alliance-building with external agents, revealing a desperate but imperfectly coordinated effort to preserve their civilization despite internal fracture.
