The Shakaar resistance cell was a cell of the Bajoran Resistance that operated during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor.
In 2357, the Shakaar resistance cell was responsible for the liberation of the Gallitep labor camp on Bajor. (DS9: "Duet")
In 2361, the Shakaar resistance cell spent the whole winter in the Dahkur Hills. With no power cells for their phasers and very little food, they hid from the Cardassian sensor sweeps in caves. (DS9: "Second Skin")
Although the cell was deemed a terrorist organisation, the ambitions of its members was moderate compared to some its counterparts, like the Kohn-Ma. Unlike some Bajorans, after their planet was liberated, most known members of the Shakaar resistance demonstrated no further desire to purposefully incite conflict against the Cardassians, with Shakaar Edon and several others becoming civilians, while Kira Nerys became part of the Bajoran Militia.
At the end of 2371 or at the beginning of 2372, three members were taken in for questioning by the authorities, in response to Kira Nerys and Shakaar Edon injuring two arresting officers searching for Soil reclamators, the rest went to Kola Mountain on the run. The situation was resolved when the leader of the team chasing them was recognised as an Ornathia resistance cell member, Lenaris Holem, they talked, and agreed that Shakaar would be given support to become the new first minister.
Several surviving members of the cell were killed in 2373 by Silaran Prin, a Cardassian who was maimed in a Shakaar attack. (DS9: "The Darkness and the Light")
