Resistance (Earth-5125)

The Resistance is one of the two main factions of the Great War, consisting of humans who either were born on Zion, or redpills who escaped the Matrix, fighting against the Machine Horde after the Second Renaissance and the Judgement Day. Politically, it is led by the Council of Zion, although the Captaincy, led by Locke, possess much of the real power and influence. Its main purpose is to ensure the survival of the human race and destroy the Horde. The Resistance carry operations both within the real world and the Matrix, the latter in the form of hackers. They are known to steal weapons and even reprogram Terminators to help them.

History
The Resistance was first formed when the first One learned the truth and escaped from the Matrix, settling and founding the lands that would become the city of Zion. After the One died, the other humans were instructed that she would return in another form, and fulfill the Prophecy, which would bring an end for the war and death. This would occur more five times, as per the programming of the Oracle and the Architect.
