The Robotech Rebels were a group of freedom fighters on Earth operating throughout the last years of the Third Robotech War. Led by Scott Bernard, their mission was to destroy Reflex Point in the hopes of ending the Invid occupation of Earth.
History[]
Formation[]
After the failure of the second attempt to retake Earth, Scott Bernard crashed on Earth, more specifically in Chile. Devastated by the loss of his friends, he set off to finish his mission. He met Rand, a young scavenger, who he saved from an encounter with Invid forces. Joining him for the journey, they would soon meet Rook, Annie, Lancer, and Lunk. Together, they became one of the few pockets of organized resistance against the Invid, liberating towns and cities on the road to Reflex Point, and providing hope to a planet under occupation.
Guerrilla War[]
Remnants of humanity's former armies would coordinate with the rebels and begin a campaign of organized resistance all across the Earth, with all forces converging to take Reflex Point. Realizing their target, the Invid Regess sent her best soldiers to stop them from reaching the central hive, but they were all swiftly defeated.
Along the way, the Rebels would recover enough Protoculture to take an army to the central hive, as well as enough vehicles, armor, and weapons. They would distribute these among the rebel cells and it would give them a keen advantage. During this time, the original Rebels were joined by an amnesiac known as "Marlene", who was in reality an Invid humanoid known as Ariel who was suffering with amnesia. She became instrumental in reaching Reflex Point.
The Robotech Expeditionary Force[]
Towards the end of the march, they encountered Jupiter Section, a forerunner of the returning Robotech Expeditionary Force's invasion efforts. With them, they discovered a functioning Synchro Cannon and uncovered the existence of Shadow Technology. The Shadow Fighters had already been destroyed however and Rand was forced to burn the Synchro Cannon to prevent the Invid from capturing it. They were also informed by the only survivor, Sue Graham, that the SDF-3 and the full REF were expected to attack Earth in the coming days in one final effort to liberate the planet.
Battle of Reflex Point[]
During the final battle, the REF and the Rebels worked together on an all-out attack, and the Rebels officially rejoined the REF with the exception of Rand, Rook, and Annie, who had never been military personnel. (New Generation: "Dark Finale")
They would reunite shortly after the end of the Third Robotech War and the start of the Fourth. Scott informed them all of the plan to search for Admiral Rick Hunter with the threat of the Haydonites looming on the horizon. With the sole exception of Lancer, they agreed to join him on his mission. (Robotech: Love Live Alive!)
