Mamore insurrections
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
At least three uprisings have been staged by insurrectionists on the planet Mamore. The United Nations Space Command was unable to prevent the first of these uprisings, a bombing attack that left millions dead. However, UNSC forces were successful in quelling the two later insurrections, which were armed conflicts rather than bombings.
2511[edit]
On February 23, 2511, a member of the Freedom and Liberation Party detonated a commercial nuclear device, typically used for mining asteroids, in the Haven arcology. This bombing attack killed two million people and wounded 8.3 million. Millions more were expected to die due to cancers and other diseases caused by the radioactive fallout; the fallout was also predicted to cause birth defects for generations afterwards.[1]
2525-2526[edit]
In late 2525 or early 2526,[Note 1] SPARTAN-IIs were deployed to Mamore and Jericho VII to assassinate insurrectionist leadership on both worlds. Office of Naval Intelligence reports of the operations ultimately made their way back into the hands of Hector Nyeto, an insurrectionist spy within the Prowler Corps, who in turn used this information to inform an attempt to sell out the SPARTANs to the Covenant during Operation: SILENT STORM.[2]
2535[edit]
In late 2535, an anti-Unified Earth Government coup d'état attempted to seize control of the colony. In response the UNSC deployed SPARTAN-III Alpha Company to suppress the insurrection during Operation: FIREBRAND on October 16th.[3] After an unknown amount of time, the UNSC emerged victorious.[4]
2552[edit]
In May 2552, another insurrection occurred on Mamore. On May 10, SPARTAN-B312 took part in counter-insurgency operations on the planet, exhibiting superb skill in piloting the YSS-1000 Sabre interceptor. The Spartan's performance impressed Colonel Urban Holland of the UNSC Army's Special Warfare Command, prompting him to request the Spartan's transfer to Noble Team.[5]
Unknown date[edit]
At some point after his enlistment in 2541, Kojo Agu, an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper sniper, took part in a successful mission to assassinate an insurrectionist leader on Mamore.[6]

Notes[edit]
- ^ In Chapter 16 of Halo: Silent Storm, Hector Nyeto notes that the Jericho VII and Mamore SPARTAN-II deployments had occurred within the last six months. The chapter is set on March 20, 2526, meaning it had to take some time between then and when the SPARTANs got their armour on November 27, 2525.
