Lambda: The sign of The Resistance
The Lambda Resistance, or, informally, the Resistance, is a vast underground network of scientists, insurgents, refugees, smugglers, and Vortigaunts dedicated to the overthrow of the Combine regime under Dr. Wallace Breen and the liberation of Earth from Combine rule.
Overview
Following the conclusion of the Seven-Hour War, small pockets of organized resistance began to spring up in Combine-controlled cities and deserted stretches of wasteland. After an unknown amount of time, these pockets and remote outposts eventually condensed into a single, highly-organized force of anti-Combine humans and Vortigaunts working to both evacuate citizens from Union-run cities and develop new technologies, with the overall goal being to eventually drive the Universal Union completely off of Earth. By the time of Half-Life 2 Roleplay, every major metropolis contained a branch of the Resistance operating in the sewers and deserted urban areas that fell within city limits.
Organization
The Lambda Resistance is divided into four main branches, each with distinct abilities and responsibilities:
- The regular Resistance troops are comprised of fully-armed and armored Resistance soldiers wielding captured Combine weaponry and kevlar. Due to their highly visible stature and distinct appearance, they are almost never seen within cities and thus generally are only played as regularly on Outlands servers.
- The Resistance Science team, which focuses on improving technologies that will give the rebels an advantage in the war against the Union. They, like Dr. Kleiner in Half-Life 2, are often found running small laboratories within the city limits, or larger ones outside of it.

- The Refugees, who are recently-escape Citizens armed with low-level Combine weapons and no armor. They encompass the bulk of the Resistance forces in Half-Life 2 Roleplay, as the Resistance regulars generally prefer to avoid the inner city.
- The Vortigaunts, an intelligent alien species whose homeworld was overrun by the Combine and who have chosen to ally themselves with the Resistance in their bid for freedom.
The Resistance has no de facto leadership. However, main leadership exists under the auspices of such individuals as Gordon Freeman, Barney Calhoun, Judith Mossman, Eli Vance, Alyx Vance, and Isaac Kleiner.
The main base of operations for the Resistance currently stands as Black Mesa East, located just outside the city limits of the Combine capital on Earth, City 17.
A "lolwebul" ("webul" represents non-grammatical spelling of Rebel) is someone who joins the Resistance only for the fact they may get a gun, they don't care about lifting oppression, or revolting, only to shoot people. This act will get you banned on any Roleplaying servers.
