Usage of two words

Hello,

Which is the correct version, Rebels Outpost or Rebel Outpost? Doesn't the "s" signify that its multiple rebels? And rebel meaning "To rebel"?

If this is a brand name, for example, this wouldn't follow grammar rules? "RebelsOutpost" brand, used in a sentence Rebel Outpost <noun> ? Can't outpost be considered as a verb?

Another question, if not a brand name. Would this be a one-word modifier ("Rebels") so it goes before the noun? It's an adjective, describing the Outpost. So it would "Rebel" Outpost as you mention.

Also, couldn't "rebels" be the plural of "Rebel" without it being a verb?

This is mostly irrelevant. The grammar going to be the same whether it's a brand name or not.

Here are your choices.

the rebel's outpost ~ the outpost belonging to one rebel
the rebels' outpost ~ the outpost belonging to more than on rebel
a rebel outpost ~ an outpost for rebels

In all cases 'rebel' i
