They do whatever you want them to do.  Ok, that's not helpful. :)

The Defiance's goal varies from Defiant to Defiant, but it is pretty much 
focused on getting rid of the oppressing govt, bringing back the 
Constitution, and helping those who don't want to be oppressed until that 
happens.  So you can have big far-reaching goals, and simple little things 
that touch on one person.  One of my group's missions was in regards to a 
"retired" Defiant who was a little old lady now.  Her neighbor possibly 
awoke -- she needed folks to look in on things and help her out (and see if 
it was true).  She couldn't do anything b/c it would risk herself -- and 
what she knew.

The other stuff they've done is a little more dramatic.  The RIpper is 
about taking out someone who's killing deltas and making the Defiance look 
bad.  You could also do resuce missions, infiltrations, scouting, 
information gathering.  It doesn't all have to be reactive.

WHy would DP get involved?  DP doesn't show up until deltas get 
involved...well, at least in my interpertation.

That sounds cool.

The thing to think about is what do you want the idea/moral to be?  If 
there isn't one, then you can come up with anything.  Rescue missions are 
alawys good, but maybe something where they have to go in and grab some 
info or tech from a DP supply location.
