Promethean Resistance

The Promethean Resistance is an unstructured and unorganized collaboration of individuals who share an interest in magic and occultism. Most members believe magic to be a kind of “lost knowledge” that may someday be recovered, but only a few are aware of the history or actuality of magic. A few of the members are wealthy or well-positioned so as to provide limited resources and assistance.

In 4523, a small group within the resistance organized an effort to rescue three of the last known magicians in the galaxy, who were discovered imprisoned on a vast space vessel thought to be operated by the Cabal. Three of the Promethean team members were killed on the rescue mission, along with six private soldiers hired to aid in the mission. Later that year, all contact between the remaining members of the Promethean Resistance ceased, and several members of the group disappeared without trace.

The Prometheans as Patron

The Resistance is less useful than its power level would suggest. On a successful appearance roll, the GM makes a reaction roll to determine whether the Resistance actually provides aid (see Requests for Aid, B562). On a Neutral or better reaction, you receive aid the Resistance thinks you need – which may or may not be what you want. Likewise, the Resistance works behind the scenes. You do not know any actual members of the Resistance, and you cannot request aid directly. You may be able to call for help through one of the friends of the Prometheans, but there is no guarantee that the Resistance will take action. The aid may take the form of information, equipment, or even direct assistance . . . but only when it suits the Resistance, and always in an untraceable way.
