Around [[2511]], the Eridanus rebels had overthrown the colonial government of [[Eridanus II]], and largely controlled all activities within the system.

In [[2513]], a space battle occured between the Eridanus Rebels and the UNSC, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. In the battle the UNSC was victorious, but four UNSC destroyers were destroyed in the battle.

In [[2525]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] reported that it had uncovered a breach within FLEETCOM: there were several spies for the organization. They had also discovered that the rebels were led by a [[Colonel Robert Watts]] and that they had connections to the outside world and were being supplied by outside sources such as the cargo freighter ''Laden''.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 76 | In [[2525]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] reported that it had uncovered a breach within FLEETCOM: there were several spies for the organization.

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 anyone knows, the Eridanus Rebels were massacred in the process. | In [[2552]] the [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettysburg|''UNSC Gettysburg''-''Ascendant Justice'' hybrid]] vessel to make repairs.
