For example, Lying, in addition to leading the Resistance as a whole, has a group under his direct control who continue to call themselves the Exersus resistance. Meanwhile, there are the Sons of Schitzotech, who have the immediate goal of liberating Schitzotech Province from the UNoA, but in the meantime are working with the resistance as a whole for greater effect. Since most resistance grunts are working for a specific grievance (Since they probably don't really know how evil the Sovoices are), this makes more sense. So instead of trying to control all these competing factions with their different goals into one organization, the Resistance simply coordinates their efforts, supporting these different organizations with equipment, intelligence, and personnel. This structure also means that if one cell is captured, the UNoA gains little information about the Resistance as a whole, since many groups are working independently, their main link being a radio that Ven or Mechafox uses to tell them where and when to pick up equipment, or what to attack. Only those cells that have shown great skill and determination are indoctrinated into the umbrella organization that is the Resistance. People who are willing to die to take out the UNoA as a whole, rather than simply achieve a minor goal.
