Resistance follows the mis-adventures of Kazuda Xiono, who is a young pilot in the New Republic Navy [Navy in Space? Wait, What?]. He is assigned by the Resistance with infiltrating a star fighter racing syndicate as a spy within the growing First Order.

Star Wars Resistance series is set shortly before the events detailed in the movie The Force Awakens.
