Half-Life Resistance / CROWBAR

The Resistance was formed shortly after the Seven Hour War in response to the Combine takeover. A loose band of guerrillas, outlaws, and espionage dedicated to overthrowing the new world order, they were unable to take on the alien empire directly. So the Resistance instead worked at undermining it by infiltrating the ranks of Civil Protection, smuggling weaponry, setting up a sophisticated underground with bases at Ravenholm, Black Mesa East, and White Forest, and by helping civilians escape the Combine controlled cities. Many of the Resistance’s key members are Black Mesa Personnel who survived the Black Mesa Incident and the events that took place afterward. Other key members are former officers of pre-Seven Hour War national armies or peacekeeping organizations or seem to have become leaders due to useful knowledge or experience.
