He led an insurrection in the [[Eridanus system]], which lasted for a number of years with himself serving as supreme commander.<ref group="notes">This is evident in issue #1 of ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'', where he coordinates fleet movements despite having served in the UNSC Marine Corps</ref> However, in May 2513, Watt's men were met by a massive fleet initially reported as over one hundred ships entered the system at the start of the wide-spread interstellar, anti-insurrectionist operation, "[[Operation: TREBUCHET|TREBUCHET]]". Ordering the mass-exodus of insurrectionist forces, knowing their survival in battle to be impossible, Watts was taken by Pelican to the ''[[Iliad]]'', a captured [[UNSC frigate]], which he used as a command post as he coordinated both the resistance and evacuation. His experience proved very useful when he had the ''Iliad'' use towing cables to pull a UNSC ship apart before exiting orbit via slipspace.<ref>''Halo: Fall of Reach: Boot Camp'', issue #1</ref> | ||
The rebels kept a presence in the Eridanus system, however, though not present on Eridanis II to an official capacity, instead living and operating inside the hollowed-out asteroid ''[[Eridanus Secundus]]''. Their activities outside of the asteroid field were minor, though Watts, now governor of the stronghold as a representative of the [[United Rebel Front]], personally took part in a desperate act of piracy on the UNSC-registered cargo ship {{UNSCship|Dartmouth}} in order to acquire much-needed supplies. Despite the frigate {{UNSCship|Journeyman}} being less than four minutes away he gave his men the order to [[Boarding|board]] the ship and commandeer, allowing supplies to be looted in the safety of the asteroid field.<ref>''Halo: Fall of Reach: Boot Camp'', issue #2</ref> | The rebels kept a presence in the Eridanus system, however, though not present on Eridanis II to an official capacity, instead living and operating inside the hollowed-out asteroid ''[[Eridanus Secundus]]''.
