So there is unconsciousness from dropping below 0 hp, unconsciousness from non-lethal damage that drops you below 0 hp, and the unconscious condition.
It's clear from Staying in the Fight that resolve points can be used to pop you out of unconsciousness brought on from being below 0 hp, but what about if you just have the unconscious condition but it hasn't affected your hp at all? What if you just have the condition?
Can resolve points "clear" other conditions? As far as I know they cannot; so, I imagine if you gain the unconscious condition through some route other than "hp below zero" (an electrical charge, an alien energy, magic, a drug, gas) than resolve points would avail you naught?
Or is the unconscious condition the one exception?
Any RAW ruling on this?
The Unconscious condition entry reads "You are knocked out and helpless. Unconsciousness can result from having 0 hit points." Emphasis added.

Stay in the fight says this:
Stay In The Fight
If you are stable and have enough Resolve Points, or if you were knocked unconscious from nonlethal damage (see page 252), you can spend 1 RP at the beginning of your turn to regain 1 HP. You are no longer dying, immediately become conscious, and can take the rest of your turn as normal. You can spend Resolve Points to regain Hit Points only if you are at 0 HP and stable, and you cannot regain more than 1 HP in this way. You can’t spend Resolve Points to stabilize and to stay in the fight in the same round.
So, no, you can only use it when you're unconscious from nonlethal damage.
Also of note, you don't go below 0 hp in Starfinder.
