Resistance Radio Network (RRN)

The Resistance Radio Network cropped up shortly after the Sweeps, with a handful of ham radio operators getting on the air and dispensing common-sense survival advice to listeners in a day and age where people are increasingly dependent on society running on all its cylinders to survive. With the internet down and no one having the ability to be Google-smart at will, the founders of RRN saw a sad, sad need: namely, the need to remind people how to make sure their drinking water won't make them sick and what perishables to eat first in the fridge so you don't starve to death.

Once it was discovered that the Sweeps were part of a larger alien plot and that the invasion was underway, these voices on the air banded together and drew others into the broadcasts. They began trying to shape the lost, scattered souls of America into a lean, mean resistance machine. A foe that would make the aliens pay for every acre of Earth they wanted to take with their glowing green blood. The broadcasts began sounding like a doomsday prepper's nighttime lullaby, but crazy talk about things like how to properly rig practical perimeter defenses and fire discipline techniques seem a lot less crazy when the world outside has gone dark, hungry and insane.

It is possible that some of RRN's intel is provided by the clandestine agency known as Project Covenant. It is also possible that the entirety of RRN is a covenant front trying to feed the populace with survival tips and/or propaganda.

RRN got its start somewhere in the state of Washington, though their segments have been picked up and rebroadcast all across the country, with more ham radio operators trying to get in with the Network. One of the RRN's central themes is its distrust of the Washington State Patrol. While some may say that anti-authority rhetoric is common faire for the survivalist militia crowd, the RRN does not encourage non-cooperation among its listeners with their local or county police. The RRN claims to have been forced underground and are constantly on the move to prevent state troopers from raiding their operations and assassinating their personnel. RRN reporter XT Marauder openly claims that the WSP has been co-opted by the invading aliens. He has also suggested that media organs broadcasting on satellite TV and mainstream radio have also been compromised, as they all report on events that are plainly contrary to the reality that he and all of his listeners can see around them.
