'''Andesia''' is a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and controlled by a mega-corporate council which serves as the planet's ''de facto'' administation. | '''Andesia''' is a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and controlled by a mega-corporate council which serves as the planet's ''de facto'' administation.<ref name="canonfodder" /> Hosting several large metroplex areas, including the capital of [[Noctus]], the colony is wealthy, highly populated, and almost completely self-sufficient. Despite this, a strong [[Insurrectionist]] movement took root on Andesia shortly before the [[Covenant War]] and reemerged after the conflict's resolution.<ref name="canonfodder glass" /> Illegal immigration to the planet is a problem, but the UEG has tried to make becoming a legal resident easier than ever through the filing of [[form 32]].<ref name="Plaza"/> | ||
== | ==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 [[city|capital city]] of [[Noctus]] and the research center in [[Promesa]].<ref name="canonfodder2">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-shadow-of-intense '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Shadow of Intense'']</ref> 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 [[Insurrection|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.<ref name="canonfodder"/> During this time, [[Insurrectionist]]s established a stronghold on the planet. In response, the [[United Nations Space Command]] sent troops, including the [[10th Shock Troops Battalion]], to Andesia to eliminate the rebel presence.<ref name="fudp3">'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', ''Part 3''</ref> | ||
====Locations=== | |||
During a [[Conflict on Andesia|firefight]] with Insurrectionists lasting for approximately [[seven]] hours, [[Ridge]], a member of [[Cadmon Lasky]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|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.<ref name="fudp3"/> 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, with Insurrectionist movements reemerging stronger and more influential than ever.<ref name="canonfodder"/> The UEG sees Andesia as a vital asset in its long-term plans for reunification and redevelopment of the human colonies. The planet's corporate and political hierarchy remains loyal to the UEG<ref name="canonfodder glass"/> and periodic UNSC police actions kept violence from breaking out into full-scale civil war. However, 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.<ref name="canonfodder2"/> [[Spartan-IV]]s are trained in a [[War Games]] simulation based off Noctus in order to prepare for hypothetical peace-keeping operations, and to have them ready to secure strategic facilities in the event of a large insurrection.<ref name="canonfodder glass"/> | |||
Prior to [[2553|May 2553]], Insurrectionist forces captured UEG diplomatic personnel on Andesia. The UNSC responded by sending the [[Spartan-II]] [[Frederic-104]] to rescue the diplomats and neutralize the Insurrection personnel as part of [[Operation: INSTINCT]].<ref name="H5GLtd">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition]]''', ''Spartan Locke's Classified Orders''</ref> | |||
