Who are the other two leaders? One of them is Colonel Watts right?

It isn't stated, so it's up to speculation at this point. --Dragonclaws 18:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

United Rebel Front of halopedia

there seems to be a group for every organization from the UNSC to the flood so who wants to make one for the united rebel front

I think there's not enough info on them to make a group about them. Also, the "of Halopedia" part is getting kind of old. If one is created, I suggest using "United Halo Front" or similar. --Dragonclaws(talk) 21:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Still around?

Got a question, is the URF still around during Halo 3? --UNSC Trooper Unsctrooper small.jpg TalkMy Work 19:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that the URF has been soundly defeated. In Halo: First Strike, there is a part that says "...symbols of a rebellion the UNSC no longer had to worry about". How come that isn't mentioned in any of the articles? Don113 01:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Nothing conclusive has been said of that faction's fate. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 05:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Halsey narrates it as they walk past rebel flags. However, this may just be a general reference to the Covenant threat. Note that this is before they meet up with the rebels in the asteroid field, so this could just be foreshadowing. --Dragonclaws(talk) 00:55, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

ILB era?

When was the URF mentioned in ILB? --Dragonclaws(talk) 22:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Against merging!

I am against merging, with insurrection page, as there are many factions of insurrectionists, but the United Rebel Front is maybe the best organized and well equipped.

Possible merge to Insurrectionist

Having recently re-read Ghosts of Onyx, I came to the realization that we might've misunderstood the whole nature of this supposed "faction" from the beginning. The only time a "united rebel front" is mentioned in Ghosts of Onyx (on page 36), it is written in all lowercase, indicating it's not the name of an organization so much as a general description for organized resistance as opposed to the more scattered, unaffiliated rebel groups.

Seeing as Contact Harvest, The Cole Protocol and subsequent sources identify the primary insurgent faction as "Insurrectionists" (always with a capital letter), and the only time "united rebel front" appears is a single mention in Ghosts of Onyx, it seems more likely that the faction we're calling "United Rebel Front" is actually the same thing as the primary Insurrectionist faction while "united rebel front" is merely a one-off descriptive name; "Insurrectionist" wasn't coined as a common term in canon until Contact Harvest. We know the rebels at Eridanus and the Rubble Insurrectionists are the same group (or at least affiliated) because of several links made between them in The Cole Protocol.

If the actual name of what is clearly the most prominent and resourceful rebel faction was indeed "United Rebel Front" like our articles claim, then I'm pretty sure it would've been mentioned in the novels more than once, not to mention capitalized. Obviously, when this article was first created, Halopedia's policy was to capitalize every word in article titles, so it's understandable something like this might've slipped by. Unless I've missed something and the faction is legitimately called "United Rebel Front" somewhere, I propose we merge this article with Insurrectionist for the sake of clarity. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 14:33, 25 July 2011 (EDT)
