Rebellion
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
A rebellion is open, organized, and usually armed, resistance against a government, ruler, or any other form of authority. The distinctions between a rebellion and a revolution are subtle, but a revolution is usually of more lasting significance, and is waged against a dominant status quo.
