According to the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'', the Secessionist Union and the [[People's Occupation Government]] are synonymous.<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia'', p. 44 (2011)</ref> Both organizations are originally mentioned on [[Halo Graphic Novel, Page 122|page 122]] of the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', in the profile of Jerald Mulkey Ander; Ander is noted as being the "Section Head" of the Secessionist Union, with ties to the People's Occupation Government and [[Harvest for Harvesters]]. Before the release of the ''Encyclopedia'', Halopedia had mistakenly regarded the two organizations as synonymous; while this mistake was later corrected, the error was repeated in the ''Encyclopedia'' as much of the book's content is obviously [[Halo Encyclopedia#Reception and errors|based upon]] that of Halopedia. As the ''Encyclopedia''{{'}}s claim is based on a fan mistake, Halopedia regards the two groups as separate as is implied in the original source.
