Editing New Caprica Resistance

{{disline|This page covers the resistance movement on New Caprica.  For other meanings, see "[[Resistance]]".}}
 
__NOTOC__
The '''New Caprica Resistance''' is formed by [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol|Colonials]] to resist the Cylon occupation of [[New Caprica]] after President [[Gaius Baltar]]'s surrender.  The day the Cylons march into [[New Caprica City]], [[Kara Thrace]] vows that they will "fight 'em until we can't" {{TRS|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II}}. Ironically, Thrace herself would be unable to participate in the resistance.

Two months into the occupation of New Caprica, [[Saul Tigh]], [[Galen Tyrol]], and [[James Lyman]] are starting to organize, recruit members, and stockpile weapons for the struggling resistance. According to a report transmitted to ''Galactica'' another two months later, Tigh commands 1150 soldiers. Resistance targets include New Caprican infrastructure, the [[Cylon Occupation Authority]], and the Baltar administration. 

Tigh's plan is to use attacks to keep the Cylons off guard until ''Galactica'' can effect a rescue of the populations. This includes desperate acts like suicide bombings, which is condoned by some members, but vehemently opposed by former President [[Laura Roslin]]. Tyrol also begins to object after he learns that Tigh plans to target the city's market and the civilians there. Targets of such attacks are a graduation ceremony of the [[New Caprica Police]] and a power generation station.

Immediately prior to the escape from the planet, the resistance makes contact with a party dispatched from ''Galactica'' in [[Breeders Canyon]] and smuggles them into the city. They also rescue approximately 200 people from a mass execution at the [[Pergamus Flats]], among them Laura Roslin, [[Tom Zarek]] and [[Cally Tyrol]]. When ''Galactica'' attacks, members race to their weapon caches, for example hidden under the Pyramid court, and attack the Cylons in force, in order to gain access to the ship yard ([[Exodus, Part I]] and [[Exodus, Part II|Part II]]).

==Notes==
*In a somewhat ironic twist the three leaders, Saul Tigh, Galen Tyrol, and Samuel Anders, as well as supporter Tory Foster, are later revealed to be four of the [[Final Five|final Cylons]] {{TRS|Crossroads, Part II}}.  Also ironicaly, the person who betrays them, Ellen Tigh, is actually the final Cylon.
