Main Article: The Kashyyyk Resistance
The Kashyyyk Resistance is a formal name given to the informal organization responsible for fighting against the oppression of the Wookiees. The Kashyyyk Resistance truly forms around the time of the Clone Wars, at first as a group of Wookiees fighting off the Separatists, and then later as a rebellion against the Empire and its practice of using Wookiees as slaves. Once the Empire has risen to its peak, The Kashyyyk Resistance engages in a desperate struggle not only to survive but also to free their people from oppression.
The Kashyyyk Resistance has no formal organization, although it does have leaders and small groups that could be described as cells. The Resistance forms when a small group of Wookiees finally decides to stand up to their oppressors. Although sometimes these small groups join together to form a larger force, this can be dangerous, as their Imperial masters are ruthless in crushing opposition and zealous in searching out any organized resistance movement.
For this reason, The Kashyyyk Resistance can only communicate sporadically, and many members of the resistance don't know that there are others on their world resisting the Empire. On rare occasions, multiple groups of freedom fighters will come together to strike a blow at the Empire, but the Empire's response is usually swift and devastating.
The Kashyyyk Resistance is mostly made up of Wookiees that have thrown off the bonds of slavery and have gone into hiding within the jungles of their world. However, some off-world help occasionally makes its way to the Resistance, although the Wookiees are reluctant to trust outsiders for fear that their help may actually be an Imperial trap. On rare occasions, members of other insurgent organizations (such as The Rebel Alliance) will come to Kashyyyk specifically to aid the Wookiees' cause, and in those cases the Empire finds itself facing an enemy with the resources of a larger organization but with the ferocity and local knowledge possessed by their Wookiee slaves.
