| The '''Eridanus Government''' was the [[planet]]ary government of [[Eridanus II]], a [[human]] [[Outer Colony|Outer]] [[Human colonies|Colony]]. The Eridanus Government was affiliated with the [[Unified Earth Government]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc33|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Page=44}}

| ==History==
| |
| In [[2494|June of 2494]], [[Treason|traitorous]] members of the [[Colonial Military Authority]] armed [[insurrectionist]]s on Eridanus II under the leadership of [[UNSC Marine Corps|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{{Ref/Reuse|enc33}} and began preying on shipping vessels.{{Ref/Book|[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]|Page=34}}
| |
| | |
| In [[2494|December of 2494]], the Eridanus Government officially requested aid from the UEG's [[United Nations Space Command]]. The UNSC finally responded in [[2496|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.{{Ref/Reuse|enc33}} However, in [[2513]], Watts had formed the [[United Rebel Front]] and his forces had regained enough strength to attempt to overthrow the Eridanus Government again, hoping to use Eridanus II as a base of operations and drag the CMA into a costly guerilla war. The UNSC anticipated the URF's intents and launched [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. The UNSC was eventually able to decimate most of the URF forces on Eridanus II before they could establish a stronghold on the planet,{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/colonel-watts|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Colonel Watts}} though many of Watts' rebels managed to flee to the [[Eridanus system]]'s [[asteroid]] field.{{Ref/Reuse|enc33}}

| | |
| The government was likely dissolved when Eridanus II was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] in [[2530]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=fs240|[[Halo: First Strike]]|Page=240}}
