What is the Resistance?
In the story line of Ingress, we are the faction charged with defending humanity from the influence of an unknown alien civilization known as "The Shapers". While the Enlightened are quick to look at everything the Shapers offer us as a gift or a blessing; we look at the potential advancement with doubt and are not willing to accept these gifts blindly. We believe that humanity has within itself the ability to create advancements that will match anything that the Shapers can offer us.
We are represented by the color Blue and our symbol is the Key.

In the real world...
Our agents come from all walks of life and are brought together by the game. While most of us never knew each other before Ingress, we have become a very close community of players. This allows us to create social events where we meet to play the game together (to get high level gear you need to group up) to achieve common goals in game. This also allows us to have non-game related social events where we get together for drinks, dinner, and even for charity events. The game gives us a reason to go on an adventure. The community gives us someone to share the journey with.
