The resistance movement known as the Arda I group emerged as a counter to the Galactic Empire. This occurred a number of years prior to the Battle of Yavin. Their operational headquarters was located in the Gauntlet. Following the establishment of the Rebel Alliance, the organization integrated into the broader conflict, incorporating numerous minor independent cells.
The Arda resistance was referenced within the 2014 roleplaying game adventure titled Onslaught at Arda I, published by Fantasy Flight Games.
