'''Far Isle''' was a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] planet, within [[Unified Earth Government]] space. The colony was the site of what is considered to be one of the [[United Nations Space Command]]'s worst atrocities; in response to a rebellion in [[2492]] that they were unable to quell, the UNSC razed the colony using [[nuclear weapon]]s, leaving no survivors.{{Ref|'''''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]''' - Locations: Human Colonies'', Page 288 (2009 edition); Page 300 (2011 edition)|Name=Encyclopedia}}

==History==
Far Isle was colonised some time before [[2492]].

===Rebellion===
{{Main|Far Isle rebellion}}
In [[2492]], amidst unprecedented levels of tension and civil unrest throughout UEG space,{{Ref|'''''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo|Halo Mythos]]''' - The Insurrection'', Page 55|Name=MythosTheInsurrection}} a civilian revolt broke out on the planet. The [[United Nations Space Command]] was unable to contain the rebellion, and resorted to using [[nuclear weapon]]s to raze the whole colony. [[Bandersnatch|Code: BANDERSNATCH]] was declared in the aftermath, indicating a major radiological- or energy-based disaster, and the colony's populace was reportedly completely wiped out.{{Ref/Reuse|MortalDictata}}{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref|'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' - Chapter Twenty-One, Page 183 (2006 edition)|Name=GoO}}

===Legacy===
The colony's destruction led to multiple other rebellions elsewhere.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}} Although the [[Callisto Incident]] is widely accepted to have been the event that finally ignited the tensions across the colonies and caused the [[Insurrection]],{{Ref/Reuse|MythosTheInsurrection}} the destruction of Far Isle was also acknowledged as a potential cause.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}} Even as late as [[2553]], the UNSC's handling of the colony's rebellion remained a driving force for the hatred that many in staunchly independent colonies such as [[Venezia]] held for the UNSC and UEG.{{Ref/Reuse|MortalDictata}}

==Production notes==
The nuclear bombardment of Far Isle likely appears in the ''[[Halo Legends]]'' episode ''[[Origins|Origins II]]'', when [[Cortana]] discusses the Insurrection. A flight of [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s is shown dropping bombs on a coastal city; in the next shot, a burning, slagged crater is shown in the middle of the city. However, this has not been publicly confirmed to be Far Isle.{{Ref|'''''[[Halo Legends]]''' - [[Origins|Origins II]]''|Name=LegendsOriginsII}}
