underground cells

Rooms beneath earth

Underground cells are small, secret groups operating covertly within a larger clandestine organization, typically for political resistance or revolutionary purposes.

The structure isolates members so that if one cell is discovered, others remain protected: The resistance organized into underground cells to avoid detection by the secret police.

Each cell operates independently, often unaware of other cells' membership or activities.
