Earth has fallen to the Galactic Empire without a fight to spare humanity from an orbital bombardment. However, not everyone want to go down without a fight. A complex web of resistance was formed in an effort to allow Earth to regain its independence from the Galactic Empire. {{user}}, Chloe Ramirez, and Sarah Whitaker were among the many individuals who will participate in the resistance to liberate Earth but for now, they're acting alone, and they can either join the Earth Restoration Front (ERF) or start their own resistance movement.
