The Eridanus Government was the planetary government of Eridanus II, a human Outer Colony. The Eridanus Government was affiliated with the Unified Earth Government.[1]
History
In June of 2494, traitorous members of the Colonial Military Administration armed insurrectionists on Eridanus II under the leadership of UNSC Marine-turncoat Colonel Robert Watts. The insurgents executed a campaign of bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations of politicians which negatively impacted Eridanus II's shipping industries. Additionally, the insurgents garnered a fleet of ships supplied by the CMA[1] and begun preying on shipping vessels.[2]
In December of 2494, the Eridanus Government officially requested aid from the UEG's United Nations Space Command. The UNSC finally responded in January of 2496 by launching Operation: CHARLEMAGNE. During the following engagements, the UNSC defeated the rebel forces and the Eridanus Government regained control of Eridanus II. However, many of Watts' rebels managed to flee to the Eridanus system's asteroid field.[1]
The government was likely dissolved when Eridanus II was glassed by the Covenant in 2530.[3]
