Rote Zora Cells, a major far-left terrorist organisation in West Germany, which saw itself as a rival to the more prominent Red Army Faction. The organization took its name from the protagonist of the 1941 book "Die Rote Zora und ihre Bande" (english title The Outsiders of Uskoken Castle) by Kurt Held, which tells the story of a red-haired Croatian girl named Rote Zora ("rote" meaning red in German) who leads a gang of orphans committed to righting injustice. The organization had previously existed from 1974 as "Women of the Revolutionary Cells" and began its attacks in 1975, with a bombing of
Red Faction society into a permanent state of unfree labour. The newly reformed "Red Faction" arises to rebel against the EDF, drive them off the planet, and begin fairer negotiations with Earth. On June 4, 2010, first footage of "Red Faction: Armageddon" debuted in the form of a short teaser trailer on GameTrailers. THQ announced that the game would be shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010. On June 27, 2011, THQ announced it was dropping the long running "Red Faction" franchise; no more installments are in development due to poor sales of the last game in the franchise, "Red Faction: Armageddon".
