Template:Ratings Far Isle was a UNSC colony world. In 2492, there was a massive rebellion on the colony world and the UNSC was unable to control it at all. Thus, they declared a code Bandersnatch and used nuclear weapons to raze the colony.[1]
The colony's total destruction is often cited by Rebels as the cause for their fighting. The destruction of Far Isle was arguably the cause of the Insurrection.[2]
