__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]], {{callsign|Starbuck}} 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.  
The '''New Caprica Resistance''' is formed by [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM) | Colonials]] to resist the Cylon occupation of [[New Caprica]] after President [[Gaius Baltar]]'s surrender.  The day the Cylons marched into [[New Caprica City]], Starbuck vowed that they would "fight 'em until we can't" ([[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]).


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.
Two months into the occupation of New Caprica, [[Saul Tigh]], [[Galen Tyrol]], and [[Jammer]] are organizing, recruiting, and stockpiling weapons for the struggling resistance.  
 
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 (RDM)|Pyramid]] court, and attack the Cylons in force, in order to gain access to the ship yard {{TRS|Exodus, Part I|Exodus, Part II}}.
