In [[2552]] the [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettysburg|UNSC Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice hybrid]] vessel to make repairs. [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. After a brief discourse with [[Admiral Whitcomb]], A [[Covenant]] cruiser appeared in the system, following the trail of the vessel. After a short fight the Covenant ship was destroyed with severe damage done to the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice. Several days later three dozen Covenant vessels appeared in the system, forcing the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice to retreat. The Covenant then eradicated the base. As far as we know, the Eridanus Rebels were massacred in the process.
