Factions are teams in the Ingress.

Enlightened

Main article: Enlightened



Enlightened Motto Logo

The EnlightenedEnlightened Logo seek harness the power of Exotic Matter to evolve mankind to a higher level.

The EnlightenedEnlightened Logo (ENL, colloquially known as frogs) is one of the two factions in Ingress, represented green within the Scanner. Contrary to the beliefs of the Resistance Resistance Logo, the EnlightenedEnlightened Logo believe that the Shapers have existed since the beginning of mankind and are the reason for mankind's progress from the Stone age into the modern era. The EnlightenedEnlightened Logo seek to progress mankind along its evolutionary path through art, music, science, and education. They favour progress and believe that the Exotic Matter (XM) could shape the future of humanity and allow it to reach its full potential.[1] The EnlightenedEnlightened Logo want to embrace the new possibilities that come with the Exotic Matter (XM) and think that they should be made available for everyone along with all knowledge. In their mind Exotic Matter (XM) is the path to epiphany, elevation and enlightenment.[2]
Due to the difference in perspective over the Shapers and their motives, and the appropriate utilisation of Exotic Matter (XM), the EnlightenedEnlightened Logo and the Resistance Resistance Logo exist in a perpetual state of conflict on Earth.

History

Enlightened Logo

Founded by Roland Jarvis, a sculptor and former member of the Niantic Project. Jarvis was part of the team that created a hacked version of the Scanner to make neutral XM (white colour) turn into EnlightenedEnlightened Logo XM (green colour).[3]

Team Ownership

All Portals, Links, and Control Field Δ that are under EnlightenedEnlightened Logo control will appear with glowing green XM in the Scanner. Upgrading Portals, regardless of who owns it, benefits the entire team and makes the opposing faction have to use more gear.

Resistance Motto Logo

The Resistance Resistance Logo seek to battle the forces that are attempting to use Exotic Matter to enslave humanity.

The Resistance Resistance Logo (RES, colloquially known as smurfs) is one of the two factions in Ingress, represented blue within the Scanner. Where the EnlightenedEnlightened Logo are convinced the Shapers are trying to help humanity evolve, the Resistance Resistance Logo believes Shapers are here for their own purposes and want to protect humanity from the Shaper influence. They favour stability and believe that the Exotic Matter (XM) is dangerous and should be contained[1] along with all knowledge. They are at best sceptical about the new possibilities that come with the Exotic Matter (XM). In their mind Exotic Matter (XM) is part of a 'hostile takeover of the mind' and they are the only thing standing in the way[2] and thus aim to keep XM in lockdown to prevent this from occurring. The Resistance Resistance Logo believe XM should be studied to hopefully be utilised to help evolve mankind on its own terms, preventing the Shapers from fulfilling any unknown ulterior motives they may have.
Due to the difference in perspective over the Shapers and their motives, and the appropriate utilisation of Exotic Matter (XM), the Resistance Resistance Logo and the EnlightenedEnlightened Logo exist in a perpetual state of conflict on Earth.

History

Resistance Logo

The Resistance Resistance Logo are lead by ADA (full name: A Detection Algorithm), an artificial intelligence developed by Niantic Project researchers to assist in their research of Exotic Matter (XM) but which became self-aware after being exposed to the latter.

ADA is the ultimate culmination of Resistance Resistance Logo ideology. As the most powerful supercomputer created and coded by human minds, ADA comprises the software loaded in to Resistance Resistance Logo scanners. When the Resistance Resistance Logo captures a Portal, a piece of ADA is uploaded, and the Portal turns blue.

Team Ownership

All Portals, Links, and Control Fields Δ that are under Resistance Resistance Logo control will appear with glowing blue XM in the Scanner. Upgrading Portals, regardless of who owns it, benefits the entire team and makes the opposing faction have to use more gear.
