During the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in [[2543]], Insurrectionists actually helped [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole]]. During the battle, an insurrectionist fleet led by the ''[[Bellicose]]'' suddenly entered the battle and launched a blitzkrieg-style attack against the Covenant fleet, decimating it, then just as it appeared the insurrectionist fleet jumped right back into slipspace. Ironically, this was the same ship Cole engaged three times earlier in his career.<ref name="cole">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

By [[2552]], most remaining Insurrectionist factions had ceased active aggression against the UNSC in order to concentrate on surviving the seemingly unstoppable Covenant advance. Still, some rebel movements actively opposed the UNSC on worlds such as [[Harmony]] and [[Reach]] as late as 2552 were [[NOBLE Team]] was hunting down a local rebel squad but it turned out that they weren't insurgents but farmers attacked by the Covenant and would immediately pave way for Reach's [[Fall of Reach|destruction]].<ref>'''[[Halo Reach]]'''</ref> In 2552, the Spartans returned to the Eridanus asteroid belt aboard the {{UNSCship|Gettysburg}}-''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' hybrid vessel to make repairs. [[Jacob Jiles|Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. Jiles engaged in a brief "showdown" with UNSC [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]], in which Whitcomb threatened to fire ''Ascendant Justice'''s [[plasma turret]]s, while Jiles claimed to aim nuclear weapons at ''Ascendant Justice''. The two soon revealed to one another that all but one of Whitcomb's plasma cannons were nonfunctional and that Jiles' nukes were fake. Suddenly, a Covenant cruiser that had followed the trail of the vessel appeared in the system. After a short fight, the Covenant ship was destroyed after dealing severe damage 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 entirely. The Eridanus rebels were massacred in the process.
