Andesia is a human colony world, governed by the Unified Earth Government. The planet's capital is Noctus. Andesia is controlled by a mega-corporate council that is largely resented by the planet's residents.[1]
History
Andesia's exploration was funded by biotech associations looking to exploit the planet's rich ecosystem for life-extending pharmaceuticals and exotic foodstuffs. Colonization was followed by development of local medical research and ultra-tech industries in the capital city of Noctus and the research center of Promesa.[2] In 2523, in response to the UEG's tightening grip on the human colonies and the excessive control taken by the mega-corporate council that served as the de facto planetary government, a rebellion broke out on the planet. The insurgency even reached the heavily defended facilities of AMG Transport Dynamics located in the capital city of Noctus.[1] Members of the Insurrection established a stronghold on the planet. In response, the UNSC Defense Force sent troops, including the 10th Shock Troops Battalion, to Andesia to eliminate the rebel presence.[3]
During a firefight with Insurrectionists lasting for approximately seven hours, Ridge, a member of Cadmon Lasky's ODST squad was killed. Afterwards, Cadmon estimated that he must have killed a dozen of the Insurrectionists. Sometime later, Cadmon and the rest of his squad was killed in action on the planet.[3] The fighting continued on the planet for nearly a decade, until the realization of the true threat of the Covenant caused Andesia's citizens to realign themselves with the UNSC and UEG to survive. The colony ultimately survived the Human-Covenant War, although tensions between the planet's citizens and the UNSC remained high.[1] Periodic UNSC police actions kept violence from breaking out into full-scale civil war, but turf wars between insurgent factions and their criminal allies, corrupt law enforcement personnel, and Unified Earth Government peacekeepers ensured there would be no peace in major population centers.[2] SPARTAN-IVs are trained in a War Games simulation based off of Noctus to prepare them for the eventual rise of insurgents on the planet, and to have them ready to secure strategic facilities when said insurrection occurs.[1]
