The Resistance
Humans and Na'vi united to reclaim Pandora from corporate tyranny.
The Resistance is the coalition of Na'vi fighters and ex-RDA personnel that opposes the RDA on Pandora's Western Frontier in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Working with Dr. Alma Cortez, its fighters awaken the surviving students of The Ambassador Program in 2162; one of them, Tamtey, joins Alma's team and forges an alliance between the local Na'vi clans. The clans finally unite to assault John Mercer's base, and the RDA retreats from the region.

After the initial defeat of the RDA and the expulsion of the human population, a new chapter began when the corporation returned with advanced technology and resurrected soldiers. The group represents a profound shift in human identity within the Avatar universe, moving from conquerors to guardians. By rejecting their corporate masters, these humans have found a new purpose, often risking their lives to bridge the gap between their species and the Na'vi. Their existence proves that redemption is possible even for those who came to Pandora with hostile intentions.
