| The '''Hydra System Massacres''' were a series of massacres that occurred periodically throughout the history of the [[Hydra system]],{{Ref/Reuse|for}} a near-lawless system within the domain of the [[Unified Earth Government]]. With [[Piracy|pirates]] and [[insurrectionist]]s being reoccurring threats within the Hydra system, [[United Nations Space Command|military forces]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]] occasionally arrive in the system to mete out justice with the use of [[nuclear weapon]]s.<ref>''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 300 (2011)</ref>

| The massacres occurred after the ''[[Domus Diaspora]]'' began in [[2362]], but likely before the [[Insurrection]] began in earnest in [[2494]].{{Ref/Note|This is based on Halsey's placement of them before the wars in the Outer Colonies in ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', as well as her statement being dated on [[2517#August|August 17, 2517]].}} | | The '''Hydra System Massacres''' were a conflict that took place during the [[Insurrection]]<ref name="sunrise">''Halo Graphic Novel'', [[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]</ref>, sometime before 2518.<ref="for2021">''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' pages 20-21; the massacres are mentioned in a scene dated August 17, 2517.</ref> [[Insurrectionist]] activity resulted in the massacres<ref name="sunrise"/>, but it is not known who massacred who or what the events were that led up to it. |

|
| | In ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', [[Catherine Halsey]] refers to conflicts "from Mars to the Jovian Moons to the Hydra System Massacres and on to the hundred brushfire wars in the Outer Colonies"<ref name="for2021"/>, implying that the massacres predate said wars; but this is unlikely, as the Insurrection only began in the 2490s. |
