This '''rebel group''' was an anti-[[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Insurrectionist]] organization, based on the colony worlds of [[Harvest]]<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', multiplayer level, ''[[Chasms]]''</ref> and [[Arcadia]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', multiplayer level, ''[[Pirth Outskirts]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', multiplayer level, ''[[The Docks]]''</ref>

The rebels employed several bases across both Harvest and Arcadia, though made much use of stolen UNSC equipment and civilian buildings.<ref>''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'', p.198</ref> Rebels have only ever been seen to deploy infantry forces, primarily squads of light infantry typically wearing red garments, grey hoods and minimal armor and armed with [[MA5B assault rifle]]s and [[M41 rocket launcher]]s. Their bases and sites, however, are additionally garrisoned by [[Rebel sniper|sniper teams]] wielding [[unidentified sniper rifle]] variants. Rebel bases range from small outposts and camps to fortified campuses with fencing and concrete structures. These bases are protected by [[Base turret#variants|repurposed turrets]] and [[Rebel watch tower|watch towers]], all of which painted in the same crimson, white and grey colour scheme.

Rebels appear in ''Halo Wars'' as a third party hostile to both teams in the multiplayer mode, and do not appear in the campaign. The rebels occupy base sites on maps set on Harvest and Arcadia, fulfilling the role occupied by the [[Sentinel]]s and [[Flood]] in maps set on the [[Trove|shield world]]. On these maps, rebel bases spawn at various points around the map, defended by turrets, watchtowers, [[Rebel Infantry|infantry]] and [[Rebel sniper|snipers]]. These bases - once destroyed - can be claimed by the player for construction of a [[Firebase]] or [[Covenant citadel]]. They additionally appear on some maps such as [[Blood Gulch (Halo Wars level)|Blood Gulch]], defending neutral [[Forerunner secondary reactor|reactor]] and [[Forerunner supply elevator|supply elevator]] buildings on the map.

==Production notes==

This insurrectionist faction are one of several factions of ambient AI (also referred to as "creep") found within the multiplayer of ''[[Halo Wars]]'' - alongside the [[Flood]] and [[Sentinel]]s. The rebels can be found on maps set on [[Harvest]] and [[Arcadia]], and are hostile to all players. The rebels were given a great deal of concept treatment, and several [[Cut Halo Wars units#Rebels|units were cut]] including a rebel "sci trooper" armed with an [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] rifle, and a modified insurrectionist [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog|Gauss Warthog]].
