'''Operation: TREBUCHET''' was the [[United Earth Government]]'s military response to the numerous civilian uprisings in the [[Outer Colonies]] known as the [[Insurrection]]. Spanning over ten years and encompassing at least two star systems, Operation: TREBUCHET involved numerous [[Marine]] units and many vessels from the [[UNSC Navy]]. It is one of the largest and farthest reaching operations known to have been conducted by the UNSC in its long history.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 11</ref> | '''Operation: TREBUCHET''' was the [[United Earth Government]]'s military response to the numerous civilian uprisings in the [[Outer Colonies]] known as the [[Insurrection]].

At first the aggressive response was widely accepted, however, as the fight dragged on and the theater of operations expanded, the continuing operation became extremely unpopular with the human civilian population. Operation: TREBUCHET eventually became the central conflict for Earth's premiere fighting force, the [[UNSC]], only being ended with the massive genocide that followed with the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | At first the aggressive response was widely accepted, however, as the fight dragged on and the theater of operations expanded, the continuing operation became extremely unpopular with the human civilian population.

The rebel base in the Eridanus system was marked for further attack, but for some reason, likely due to the greater threat the Covenant posed, it was left alone and mostly forgotten until 2552 when [[Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and a small crew including the AI [[Cortana]] and several Spartans (including all but one of the team that attacked the base) returned looking for repairs. After being convinced to help by a Covenant attack, the rebels repaired the ''Ascendant Justice-Gettysburg'' to operational status, but the two ships were too badly damaged to be fully repaired before the Covenant returned. The UNSC forces were forced to abandon the rebels and the base and the rebels have been presumably destroyed. | The rebel base in the Eridanus system was marked for further attack, but for some reason, likely due to the greater threat the Covenant posed, it was left alone and mostly forgotten until 2552 when [[Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and a small crew including the AI [[Cortana]] and several Spartans (including all but one of the team that attacked the base) returned looking for repairs.
