| ==Background==
| |
| ===Insurrection===
| |
| In the first years of the 26th century, the ''Bellicose'' was thrice engaged by the {{UNSCShip|Gorgon}}, which was commanded by the legendary [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Preston Cole]]. The ''Bellicose'' escaped twice and on the last occasion [[Skirmish at Theta Ursae Majoris|fought to a draw]]. On [[2504|January 2, 2504]], the ship's crew faked their own deaths by falling into the [[Gravity well (physics)|gravity well]] of a gas giant during the [[Battle of Theta Ursae Majoris]] and escaped by executing the first-known in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] transition.<ref name="Evo">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Human-Covenant war===
| |
| On [[2526#March|March 12, 2526]], while located in the [[Little Nelek Nebula]], the ''Bellicose'' hosted a conference concerning the [[Covenant|Covenant's]] invasion of humanity, the fate of the attacked [[Outer Colonies]], and the [[SPARTAN-II program]]. Representatives involved in the meeting included the [[Biko Independence Army]], the [[Venezian Militia]], the [[Secessionist Union]], the [[Freedom League]] of [[Jericho VII]], the [[Gao Liberation Force]], and the [[People's Occupation]] of [[Reach]]. At the end of the debate, [[Harper Garvin|General Harper Gavin]] chose to open an exchange with the alien hegemony.{{Ref/Reuse|HSSC6}}
| |
| | |
| The ''Bellicose'' resurfaced during the [[Human-Covenant War]] at the battles of [[Battle of 18 Scorpii|18 Scorpii]] and [[Battle of Psi Serpentis|Psi Serpentis]] under an independent flag. There, the crew of the ''Bellicose'', captained by [[Lyrenne Castilla]], Cole's former wife, saved the latter's forces from [[Covenant]] attack.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
