Prelude

Dru-Zod's conquest of Krypton garnered many enemies for himself, enemies which Jax-Ur had recruited into a band together with Wegthorian rebels, based on Wegthor.

Season 2

"Light-Years From Home"

Main article: Light-Years From Home

Realizing that General Zod intended to use Wegthorian mining to fuel the intergalactic fleet he was building, Val-El and Jax-Ur went to Wegthor directly to bolster the resisitance. However, Nyssa-Vex was later captured by Lyta-Zod and using her son as a hostage, General Zod blackmailed her into helping him to defeat the Resistance.

"Ghost In The Fire"

Main article: Ghost In The Fire

Leaders of the Resistance Val-El and Jax-Ur meet with Nyssa-Vex.

Val-El arrived on Wegthor via the Hypersonic Orbital Tether and delivered a speech to the rebellion on Wegthor, saying "that bastard down there has stolen our better tomorrow. We're stealing it back!" to thunderous applause. After however, Nyssa-Vex arrived from the Hypersonic Orbital Tether to rejoin the Resistance as well, under suspicious circumstances, considering her previous capture. Although Val was sympathetic to the loss of her father Daron-Vex and of her son Cor-Vex, Jax-Ur placed her under surveillance.

Nyssa, with information given to her by General Zod for use as a plant to gain the Resistance's trust, provided that information to Jax and Val under the guise of having retrieved it from a former servant of her father's. The information was confirmed to be good, but Jax was still suspicious of Nyssa, and General Zod became impatient with Nyssa's slow progress. He ordered her to work more quickly so that she could steal Jax's Codex for the Genesis Chamber.

"Will To Power"

After successfully capitalizing on Nyssa's intel, seizing supplies and hostages from General Zod’s forces, the Resistance moved to strike once more at the mobilizing Sagitari forces, but Nyssa-Vex began to sabotage the effort.

"Danger Close"

Main article: Danger Close

While celebrating brief victory, the Resistance began to prepare to retake Space Elevator from base station to cut off Zod's forces. In order to retake it, they had to go to the underground tunnels and get to access terminal so the rebels could enter the base station. Adam, Kem (who joined to the rebels), Araame and others went to the tunnels while Jax sent a ground support ready to attack. This strategy went wrong because of two things: first, Araame did not find a proper key to enter it; secondly, Jax noticed a trap in which oxygen sensors and vaccines (who were seized earlier) were tainted by Zod as a surprise tactic. In desperation, Jax ordered Araame to activate a secret bioweapon to kill all Sagitari on Wegthor, but was sabotaged by Val and Nyssa, thanks to the information from the latter after extracting data from her former lover Araame. Val was angry on her dishonesty, while Nyssa took a Codex from the weapon and left resistance HQ. Adam, Kem and others were captured by Sagitari and Lyta in the tunnels, giving a severe strike on the resistance.

"A Better Yesterday"

Main article: A Better Yesterday

Several rebels were taken to Sagitari base, while the rest of them were in lockdown. One captured rebel Araame was sent by Lyta to persuade Jax and Val to surrender. Both then decided to negotiate. When they came, Lyta offered them to surrender peacefully or be shot by her snipers. Jax refused and activated her hidden laser beam in her modified replacement eye, killing snipers, and taking Lyta to rebel's HQ. Jax gave ultimatum to Dru-Zod to surrender or she will execute Lyta. Zod decided to retreat Sagitari and release other rebels (except for the last two, Adam and Kem), while Jax promised to release Lyta. Adam and Kem were released by Nyssa and went to the underground tunnels; they noticed something wrong in those tunnels and went to report Jax and Val. They found out that the rebels were disguised as Sagitari, while Zod's forces were still in underground, in trying to deceive Jax. Furious, Jax immediately executed Lyta.

"In Zod We Trust"

Main article: In Zod We Trust

After the execution, many rebels were shocked by Jax's act. While Jax justified it, in her belief that it will weaken Dru-Zod, Val heavily disagreed and convinced others that her act could lead to another tyranny. Almost everyone agreed and they took away her leadership, giving it to Val, while Jax and Araame went to a secured cell. Soon after, Zod contacted Val and demanded to deliver Jax for one hour or all rebels will die. Val decided to surrender her to him, while giving enough time to make another tactic against his army. Jax and Araame escaped from prison, using subcutaneous communicator as a weapon and killing one guard. They also stolen gravity bombs to destroy Space Elevator base. Val, Adam and Kem found them in underground tunnels, but Araame was killed by Val. Despite Jax's shock, she tried to convince him to detonate the bomb to weaken Dru-Zod's forces. Val contacted Zod, the latter demanding Jax while also offering him a place in the Science Guild; he refused and detonated the bomb, destroying the Space Elevator. Although grateful on her advice, he banished her due to her recent murder of Lyta-Zod.

"Zods and Monsters"

Hours later, Val sent Kem and others to find other Sagitari hidden in the mines. Kem managed to find them, irradiated with stelarium and exhausted. The rebels began to cure them.

"Blood Moon"

Main article: Blood Moon

As the Resistance prepared for future fights against Zod's forces, Seg and Nyssa arrived on Wegthor, with modified skimmer for space. He warned them that Zod's fleet of the ships were coming soon. As they prepared, one ship with Sagitari and Doomsday arrived on the surface. Commander Rune-Lux and his assault team began to fire on him, but they were quickly slaughtered. Seg, Val and their friends decided to split in order to slow down Doomsday and to evacuate many rebels and civilians as possible. Val ordered Seg and Kem to put explosives in the mines so they could trap him and Val activating them afar, but the power network in HQ was destroyed, forcing them to detonate on the surface. While Val and Adam were trapped in HQ, Seg and Kem continued to put the explosives. Doomsday arrived and killed the whole unit, while Seg and Kem barely escaped. Noticing that his detonator was missing, Seg decided to get it, but Kem chose otherwise to put a force barrier between them, so that Kem could save his life. Kem found the detonator, but Doomsday found and killed him, but not before detonating the explosives in the tunnels. Meanwhile, Nyssa and the rebels successfully captured the Sagitari ship, and Val and Adam got out from HQ. The explosives caused a wide chain reaction, resulting in the destruction of the moon, also killing Doomsday. All rebels got out from it. Seg found own skimmer and escaped from the moon.
