Perhaps the most notorious instance of the brutal and heavy-handed approach the UNSC and CMA took to quelling rebellions in the late 25th century was that of [[Far Isle]]. In [[2492]], in the midst of the rising tensions throughout the colonies, Far Isle was among the first of the colonies to go into a full-scale revolt. Despite their best efforts, the UNSC were unable to contain the rebellion, and as a result, they resorted to [[nuclear weapon]]ry, razing the entire colony and leaving no survivors from the populace. They subsequently declared [[Bandersnatch|Code: BANDERSNATCH]], indicating a major radiological- or energy-based disaster.{{Ref|'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' - Chapter Twenty-One, Page 183 (2006 edition)|Name=GoOFarIsle}}{{Ref|'''''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe|Halo Encyclopedia]]''' - Locations: Human Colonies'', Page 288 (2009 edition); Page 300 (2011 edition)|Name=EncyclopediaFarIsle}}{{Ref|'''''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''' - Chapter Ten'', Page 291-292 (2014 edition)|Name=MortalDictataFarIsle}}
Although not usually acknowledged as the inciting incident of the Insurrection,{{Ref/Reuse|MythosDDandInsurrection}} the destruction of Far Isle caused multiple larger rebellions elsewhere, and was considered a significant factor in motivating the Insurrection as a whole.{{Ref/Reuse|EncyclopediaFarIsle}} Far Isle remained a driving force for the hatred that many individuals bore for the UNSC and UEG even as late as [[2553]], in staunchly independent colonies such as [[Venezia]].{{Ref/Reuse|MortalDictataFarIsle}}
