So in canon the Resistance isn't so much a military organization as a glorified fighter squadron, financially/logistically dependent on whatever Leia can get out of a handful of sympathizing Republic officials. The assault on Starkiller Base and the destruction of the Hosnian system leaves them completely in shambles, with half of their pilots dead and basically no material resources to keep fighting.
I'd love to see a post-TFA fic exploring how they struggle to make ends meet and try to gain the upper hand over the FO, who's also been shaken up by the destruction of Starkiller Base but is doing much better financially.
Some ideas:
- most of their money go on x-wings repairs/maintenance, so they have to skimp on everything else, including medical supplies - while we're at it, the x-wings aren't actually the best out there (shoddy repairs, cheap replacement parts) - pilots share pretty much everything, tight bunks, bits of equipment (for added angst, the stuff their dead comrades leave behind) - at their lowest point? yeah, they're basically forced to ration food.
Could work as a 5+1 fic, would love to see Rey and Finn put their experience with deprivation to good use and help out and try to keep everyone's spirits up. Anon loves Rey/Finn/Poe, but this could totally be gen.
Gen or Any/Any, the Resistance is dirt poor
