Insurrectionist: Difference between revisions

Line 46:

Different groups of rebels used a variety of tactics to combat the UNSC, ranging from terrorist attacks to ship-to-ship combat. Some factions, including the [[Freedom and Liberation Party]] and assorted groups at [[Epsilon Eridani system|Epsilon Eridani]], resorted to terrorism, striking targets with explosives to sow fear and chaos in the region. Meanwhile, [[Lyrenne Castilla]]'s group focused on space combat, capturing UNSC warships, such as the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]] ''[[UNSC Callisto|Callisto]]'' and the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] ''[[Bellicose]]'', and turning them against the [[UNSC Navy]] in bloody ship-to-ship duels throughout the Outer Colonies. One tactic among Insurrectionist ground forces was to use performance-enhancing chemicals known as [[rumbledrug]]s that radically increased the subject's physical strength and pain tolerance, but would also cause irreversible physiological damage that would kill the user shortly after. Notably, they were used to combat the [[SPARTAN Program|Spartans]] due to the temporary superhuman strength they granted.

The Insurrectionists, in particular the [[United Rebel Front]], had highly organized intelligence divisions and a far-flung network of facilities, comprised of a network of different rebel movements, such as the cell at Eridanus. They have commanded facilities across human-controlled space, including [[Eridanus Secundus]] and [[Station Jefferson]] in the Eridanus asteroid belt as well as [[Camp New Hope]] on planet [[Victoria]]. They also had a high explosives manufacturing facility, operations on [[Micronesia]], and a saboteur cell on [[Reach]]. All these operations were shut down by the Spartans of [[Blue Team]].<ref name="Onyx36"/> The Insurrectionists possess a multitude of warships and many operate entire fleets. Their most prominent fleet, a ragtag collection of ships commanded by [[Lyrenne Castilla]], would continue to exist well into the Human-Covenant War and unexpectedly aid [[Preston J. Cole|Admiral Cole]] in the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]].<ref name="cole"/>

By [[2531]], SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]] was deployed to root out Insurrectionist operations over the course of several months.

The rebel leader, [[General]] [[Howard Graves]], then set a trap for Blue Team, whom they anticipated would be sent. During the [[raid on Camp New Hope]], the rebels successfully ambushed [[John-117]], [[Fred-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] by using an [[antigravity plate]]. However, the rebels were unaware of the presence of a fifth Spartan; a new addition to the team, [[Kurt-051]], who had avoided the trap. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team and they then retreated from the camp with the recovered warheads before the camp could launch a proper counterattack. General Graves was killed in the process.

During the Human-Covenant War, Insurrectionists from the Outer Colony of [[Madrigal]] colonized and inhabited [[the Rubble]], a sophisticated asteroid habitat orbiting the gas giant [[Hesiod]]. In the Rubble, an uneasy truce existed between the [[human]]s and the [[Kig-Yar]] who had originally helped the Insurrectionists build the habitat. While the most of the Rubble's population were Insurrectionists, the Rubble also protected most of the surviving civilian populace of Madrigal.
