Resistance (Final Fantasy XII)

The Archadian Resistance is the name that the remains of the Dalmascan Army took up after the fall of Dalmasca due to the trap at the treaty signing in Nalbina. The resistance were created on the eve that Marquis Ondore declared Ashe dead. Vossler Azelus took her underground and together they created resistance with help from Bhujerbans and Marquis Ondore.

Attack on Palace of Rabanastre
They never had any major victories until Vayne Carudas Solidor was elected Consul of Rabanstre and a banquet was held in his honour at the Palace of Rabanstre. Vossler and Ashe (under the name of Amalia) had squads of fighters set up in the Garamsythe Waterway and they stormed the palace. However, Vayne knew of this attack and had the Ifrit(the airship) patrolling so when the resistance made their move they were bombed by the Ifrit and most were killed.

Return of Basch
After the failed attack on the Palace of Rabanastre, Amalia(Ashe) was pursued into the Garamsythe Waterway by Archadian soldiers were she fought them off with help from Balthier, Fran and Vaan. After getting to the end of the Waterway and almost reaching Lowtown they are apprehended by Archadians and Amalia is held captive aboard the Dreadnought Leviathan while the others are held in Nalbina Dungeon. While Vaan and co. are breaking out of Nalbina they discover Basch fon Ronsenbourg, a disgraced captain in the Dalmascan army who was found guilty for killing the King of Dalmasca, Raminas and was supposedly executed. The party help him after he reveals that the death of the king was an elaborate set up by Archadia and his twin, Gabranth, killed Raminas. Upon returning to Rabanastre, Basch met with many commanders and soldiers of the resistance which included Vossler and told them of the set up that got him framed for the death of Raminas. Vossler sends him to Marquis Ondore in Bhujerba to ask for help to rescue Amalia. Basch rallies with Balthier, Fran and Vaan and together they go to Bhujerba to visit Marquis Ondore on Balthier and Fran's airship the Strahl. To get to Marquis they lure out the Bhujerban resistance and they are allowed to visit him. Marquis helps them get to Amalia by getting them arrested and they are held on the Dreadnought Leviathan but break out of their cell with help from an undercover Vossler. Together they rescue Amalia and Vaan's friend Penelo and escape the Leviathan.

Vossler's Betrayal, Fall of 8th fleet
Vossler then accompanies the party to The Tomb of Raithwall so they can get the dawn shard and prove Ashe's heritage and end the war. However, upon taking the dawn shard Vossler betrays them and has them arrested and the nethicite is taken from them. But when Judge Ghis experiments on the nethicite it explodes and destroys the entire Eighth fleet of the Archadian army and the party narrowly escape but Vossler is presumed killed.

Turning Point
After the destruction of the 8th fleet the resistance began to make huge steps to take of advantage of this loss of the Archadians. Marquis Ondore withdrew his position of Marquis of Bhujerba with the excuse of illness. He began to travel Ivalice to bring all Anti-Archadians together to make a huge resistance and to train them so Archadia might sign a peace treaty in fear of war as the threat of war with Rozarria also loomed and the Resistance and Rozarria might fight together. Ondore also hired Sky Pirate King Reddas of Balfonheim as a mercanary to infiltrate Draklor Laboratories and steal Deifacted Nethicite. Ondore began to train the resistance over the Dalmasca-Rozarria borders.

Beginning Of War
A group of Rozarrian mercanaries who were hired into the resistance ignored orders and travelled to Nabudis and attacked Archadians and retreated into Rabanastre airspace, as hoped they provoked a response and the entire 12th fleet of the Archadian army, with the colossal Sky Fortress Bahamut as the flagship with Vayne at its head to follow the small group of insurgents. Ondore, unable to leave them to be destroyed, went with his fleet to engage with the Archadians

Battle over Rabanastre
The battle began with the flagship of the resistance, the Garland, with Ondore at the head, being attacked with the Bahamut's mist cannon and was almost destroyed, however, the Garuf-Val, a resistance aircraft carrier WAS destoyed and its crew lost with it. The resistance sent Air Cutter Remoras and other small airships to engage the Archadians and eventually to destroy the Bahamut which became the resistance's main target by being attacked by the many of the cruiser classes. From within Vaan, Penelo, Ashe(Amalia), Balthier, Fran and Basch engaged Vayne and killed him which made Larsa, his brother, who sympathised with the resistance, Emperor of Archadia and with help from know good Judge Magister Gabranth they sign a peace treaty and the battle ends before more lives can be lost although Balthier and Fran are presumed dead flying Bahamut away from Rabanastre safely.

Aftermath
The resistance becomes the Dalmascan army again after the Archadians leave and Ondore returns to his role as Marquis.
