The [[Insurrectionist|Eridanus ~~Rebels~~]] had staged a localized rebellion against the UNSC in [[2494]]. The UNSC struck back two years later and forced the rebels out at the cost of four [[~~uNSC~~ destroyer|destroyers]].

Watts was presumed killed in the UNSC's counterattack, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], but in fact he escaped to [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the system's asteroid belt with the rest of the rebels.
