The '''Insurrection'''<ref name="ch">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> is the proper name given to an undeclared civil war fought between [[Earth]]'s primary military, scientific, and exploratory agency, the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[United Rebel Front|various loosely organized]] [[Insurrectionist|groups of rebels]] over control of the [[Outer Colonies]] for some 43 years, between the year [[2494]] and [[2537]]. Originally, the breakaway movements started as disquiet against the [[Colonial Administration Authority]]'s oversight of the Outer Colonies, with the colonists tired of the organization's bureaucracy. It first started as peaceful protests, and after years of frustrating negotiations, some groups began to use more forceful methods, eventually abandoning diplomacy in favor of terrorist tactics. | The '''Insurrection'''<ref name="ch">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'''</ref> is the proper name given to an undeclared civil war fought between [[Earth]]'s primary military, scientific, and exploratory agency, the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[United Rebel Front|various loosely organized]] [[Insurrectionist|groups of rebels]] over control of the [[Outer Colonies]] for some 43 years, between the year [[2494]] and [[2537]].
