'''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/Book|Enc09|Section=Locations: Human Colonies|Page=288|Id=Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Book|Id=encyc11|Enc11|Section=Locations: Human Colonies|Page=300}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Environmental features=== | |||
Far Isle is an ocean-world.{{Ref/Reuse|ET9}} | |||

==History== | |||
===Rise of humanity=== | |||
Far Isle was colonised in [[2421]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
====Rebellion==== | |||
{{Main|Far Isle rebellion}} | |||
In [[2492]], amidst unprecedented levels of tension and civil unrest throughout UEG space,{{Ref/Book|HM|Section=The Insurrection|Page=55|Id=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/Reuse|encyc11}}{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=21|Page=183 (2006 edition)|Id=GoO}} | |||
====Legacy==== | |||
The colony's destruction led to multiple other rebellions elsewhere.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Reuse|encyc11}} 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}}{{Ref/Reuse|encyc11}} 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}} | |||
The fallout from the nuclear strike eventually cleared, allowing the colony to be resettled in certain locations. Few chose to return to Far Isle, however.{{Ref/Reuse|ET13}} | |||
===Post-war=== | |||
The planet continued to be inhabitable with [[James-005|James Solomon]] making his base in the [[St. Anino]] islands.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ET9|ET|Chapter=9}} | |||
On [[2559#November|November 21, 2559]], [[Forerunner]] [[armiger]]s working for the [[Created]] arrived on Far Isle, possibly sent in pursuit of James.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ET13|ET|Chapter=13}} | |||
==Government== | |||
By 2559, Far Isle maintained townships in it's resettled territories. St. Anino was the least populous.{{Ref/Reuse|ET13}} | |||
==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}} | |||
