One tactic among Insurrectionist ground forces was to use performance-enhancing chemicals known as [[Rumbledrug]]s that radically increased the subject's physical strength and pain tolerance, but would also cause irreversible physiological damage that would kill the user shortly after.

The Insurrectionists, in particular the [[United Rebel Front]], had highly organized intelligence divisions and a far-flung network of facilities, comprised of a network of different rebel movements, such as the cell at Eridanus. They have commanded facilities across human-controlled space, including [[Eridanus Secundus]] and [[Station Jefferson]] in the Eridanus asteroid belt as well as [[Camp New Hope]] on planet [[Victoria]]. They also had a high explosives manufacturing facility, operations on [[wikipedia:Micronesia|Micronesia]], and a saboteur cell on [[Reach]]. All these operations were shut down by the Spartans of [[Blue Team]].{{Ref/Reuse|Onyx36}} The Insurrectionists possess a multitude of warships and many operate entire fleets. Their most prominent fleet, a ragtag collection of ships commanded by [[Lyrenne Castilla]], would continue to exist well into the Human-Covenant War and unexpectedly aid [[Preston J. Cole|Admiral Cole]] in the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]].{{Ref/Reuse|cole}} | The Insurrectionists, in particular the [[United Rebel Front]], had highly organized intelligence divisions and a far-flung network of facilities, comprised of a network of different rebel movements, such as the cell at Eridanus.
