Guerrilla Resistance

Underground Resistance and Tactical Sabotage

Description

The Guerrilla Resistance consists of human rebels working in opposition to Dalek occupation of Earth. Operating through clandestine networks, they coordinate sabotage, gather intelligence, and plan direct action against Dalek installations. Their efforts align with the Controller's hidden goal to dismantle the Dalek regime by exploiting human emotional tactics rather than outright force. The group's survival depends on stealth and coordination, as their leadership and members face extermination if captured.
