By [[2526]], the BIA was growing in power and was one of many rebel groups summoned to a meeting organised by [[United Rebel Front]] General [[Harper Garvin]] and ''[[Bellicose]]'' captain [[Lyrenne Castilla]] to discuss the emergence of the [[Covenant]] threat and how it may affect the Insurrection. Upon learning of the UNSC's [[Operation: SILENT STORM]] - an audacious plan to use the imminent Covenant attack on Biko as a distraction to allow a special [[Task Force Yama|task force]] to covertly destroy a number of alien ships, BIA leader Erland Booth was outraged and demanded assistance from the other groups to prevent the destruction of his world. The rebel coalition force organised a coup against the Bikon government, hoping to offer the world to the Covenant in return for assisting in the destruction of the UNSC by revealing the location of UNSC worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|SS6}} | By [[2526]], the BIA was growing in power and was one of many rebel groups summoned to a meeting organised by [[United Rebel Front]] General [[Harper Garvin]] and ''[[Bellicose]]'' captain [[Lyrenne Castilla]] to discuss the emergence of the [[Covenant]] threat and how it may affect the Insurrection.

The coalition force set up a base in the [[Seoba ice quarry|ice quarries]] on the moon of [[Seoba]], establishing numerous [[Civet]] AFVs, hundreds of infantry and [[M41 Vulcan]] anti-air guns. Unfortunately for them, the quarry had also been selected for use by Task Force Yama, and the resulting [[Battle of Seoba|battle]] saw the foiling of this plan. | The coalition force set up a base in the [[Seoba ice quarry|ice quarries]] on the moon of [[Seoba]], establishing numerous [[Civet]] AFVs, hundreds of infantry and [[M41 Vulcan]] anti-air guns.
