Homeworlds Resistance
Encyclopedia
In the 1993-1995 sci-fi animated television series Exosquad
, Homeworlds Resistance was an undercover resistance movement
on Neosapien
-occupied Earth and Venus during the Neosapien War. Because Mars, the third Homeworld, was controlled and populated primarily by Neosapiens even before the war started, there was no resistance organizations there. The Resistance was composed of people who couldn't fit into Phaeton's regime and abandoned hope that the Exofleet
will return some day (in the first years of the war, Neosapiens successfully held it away from the Homeworlds). The Resistance used any weapons they could get their hands on, from handgun
s and bombs to E-frames stolen from the Neosapiens.

Sean Napier was the first leader of Earth Resistance Force and later, the commander of the entire Homeworlds Resistance. Before the war, he was a surly, divorced exotrooper who had been discharged (due to a drinking problem), became a police
officer in Chicago
(later - Phaeton City) and has even saved Phaeton' s life once. Despite that, he deeply mistrusted all Neosapiens (even Marsala, although he soon changed his opinion on him after Marsala saved his life), has been deeply appalled when his ex-wife Amanda Connor joined the Neosapien regime, and did his best to "correct his mistake" (saving Phaeton). The exact details for the failure of his marriage to Amanda are never disclosed, though his alcoholism was possibly a factor. During the liberation of Earth, he coordinated the "fifth column
" - the Terrans who launched a simultaneous attack stabbing Neosapiens in their backs. Napier's abilities had him elected as the commander of all Earth and Homeworlds resistance forces later in the Neosapien War. During the occupation of Earth, Napier piloted a stolen and modified Neosapien Security E-frame later known as #DW-240.

Eve Hanley was Sean Napier' s right hand woman and the second leader of Earth Resistance Force. She may have seemed pragmatic and emotionally cold, but in fact, Eve was a very romantic
person with a special passion for art
. Over the time, she has developed a tender relationship with the most unlikely gentleman - Wolf Bronsky. During the war, Hanley piloted a "Falcon" #AA-500 E-frame, formerly used by J.T. Marsh.

n Resistance Cell on Earth. His cowboy can-do attitude got him in serious trouble when he launched an uncoordinated attack on Neosapiens in his region - even though he has made some major successes, his Cell was the first to experience the wrath of the Neo Warriors brood. He and a few of his men were saved by the Able Squad, but the Australian Cell was effectively in pieces afterwards. he survived the war and joined the Homeworld Senate.
. Albrecht Ketzer ("Ketzer" means "heretic
" in German
) was a genetic engineering
specialist stationed deep in the Amazon Rainforest
s during the entire Neosapien War. Infamous for his unorthodox beliefs and a rather cynical attitude to normal humans (as well as Neosapiens), he was a genius of the same level as Professor Algernon and was actually capable of creating a new human race living in perfect symbiosis
with the rainforests. His projects were pure eugenics
but Algernon desperately needed his help in slicing the Neo Lord genome, so Admiral Winfield sent the Able Squad to locate Ketzer and extract him to Resolute II. The mission failed and Ketzer escaped after having infused Lt. Nara Burns with an unidentified mutating agent. Later he participated in expulsion of Neosapien remnants from the Amazon Basin
, mostly for his own ends. After the war, he attempted to recapture Lt. Burns as she was trying to find Neosapien deserters in the rainforests.
James Burns (†) was the leader of one of the Venusian Resistance Cells but has later been promoted to the head of the entire Venusian Resistance Force. He was also the younger brother and the last remaining relative of Lt. Nara Burns. James has been a good leader despite his lack of military skills and he has succeeded in helping as many humans on Venus as he could to survive General Draconis' atrocities until the Exofleet arrived. During the liberation of Venus, James Burns was severely injured in a fight against Draconis but survived and equipped with crude bionics
to replace his injured limbs - only to be killed in attempt to save Marsala (whom, he knew, his sister admired) from the hands of human kidnappers demanding for all Neosapiens to be kicked out of the Exofleet.

Picasso
Picasso was a graffiti artist before the war. He was caught by Napier but was allowed to go free due to Napier being in bad mood thanks to being reprimanded for not shaking hands with Phaeton. Ironically Picasso ended up joining the Chicago resistance cell formerly commanded by Napier. While he has a love of street art, he doesn't think highly of classic art. Eve Hanley had to convince him about her plan to rescue the artwork found on a transport that was going to be rigged to destroy a Neo facility.JJ
JJ was a technical expert for the North American resistance. His expertise was an essential part of the Resistance's attempt to steal a train and rig it to destroy the Neo facility at the Great Slave Lake in Canada.
