| The '''Rubble Security Council''' were in charge of everything that went on in [[the Rubble]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 41-42''</ref> There were nine council members, all of which were elected by the people of the Rubble. They played the main part in the allegiance of the [[insurrectionists]] and the [[Kig-Yar]], and were responsible for the construction of [[Habitat Exodus]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 219-222''</ref>

| ==History==
| |
| The Rubble Security Council was established when [[the Rubble]] was formed to govern the [[asteroid]] complex. Following the destruction of [[Madrigal]], the Rubble had accepted refugees and allowed them to become residents. When a [[Kig-Yar]] ship entered the [[23 Librae]] system near the Rubble, the ship began to scan the asteroids. While the Council was debating if they should attack or flee, Council member [[Peter Bonifacio]] contacted one of the Kig-Yar aboard, [[Reth]], and proposed a trade agreement.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 222''</ref> A month later, the Kig-Yar and humans worked together to improve the Rubble, while the humans gave the Kig-Yar [[slipspace drive]]s. In case of discovery from the rest of the project, the Security Council had voted and initiated an evacuation plan: the [[Exodus Project]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 236''</ref> However, the Kig-Yar began wanting coordinates to human colonies in exchange for money, power and Covenant technology. Most of the Council agreed that if they did so, their usefulness to the Kig-Yar would be over and the aliens would betray the Rubble.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 43''</ref> Bonifacio was still in favor of selling the information to the Kig-Yar, however. He had begun to bribe other Council members to gain a majority vote for selling the navigation data.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 44''</ref>
| |
| | |
| To protect the navigation data, a data chip containing the information was given to the trusted Rubble resident [[Ignatio Delgado]] by the Security Council. Later, Delgado was approached by Bonifacio. Bonifacio asked Delgado to hand over the data chip, with the intentions of giving it to Reth. When he refused to do so, Bonifacio had Delgado arrested.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 120''</ref> Delgado was later interrogated by the members of the Security Council, asking for the location of the navigation data. The Council revealed that they were intending to place the data to the Exodus Project for safekeeping. Delgado reluctantly agreed and he brought Bonifacio and [[Diego Esquival]] to where the data was hidden, aboard his freighter, the ''[[Distancia]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 175''</ref> When the three reached the freighter, Delgado was about to hand the data over to Esquival, but Diego was shot and mortally wounded by Bonifacio. Diego and Delgado were locked in the ''Distancia'''s damaged airlocks and left to die from lack of [[oxygen]]. Esquival succumbed to his wounds, but Delgado was rescued by [[Spartan-II|Spartan]] [[Gray Team]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 238''</ref>
| |
| | |
| Following Bonifacio's betrayal and Esquival's death, Diego's sister, [[Maria Esquival]], took his position on the Security Council.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 291''</ref> While on route to give the data to Reth, Bonifacio was intercepted by Gray Team and his ship was disabled. Spartan [[Adriana-111]] boarded his ship and took the data while he escaped in a shuttle. Without the data, Reth abandoned Bonifacio and he was killed by an approaching Covenant fleet.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 283''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 339''</ref> Towards the end of the [[Battle of the Rubble]] between the Kig-Yar, Covenant, and humans, the Security Council agreed to launch the Exodus Project and flee into space. All surviving members of the Rubble were evacuated onto [[Habitat Exodus]] and left the system through [[slipspace]], arriving over the colony world of Falaknuma. With the Rubble destroyed, the Rubble Security Council dissolved.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 252''</ref>

| ==Organization==
| |
| The Rubble Security Council was a "technocracy"—an internet [[democracy]]—that allowed all of the residents to vote on everything, including laws and its municipal functions.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 205''</ref> The council consisted of nine members, each elected by the Rubble's citizens.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 119''</ref> The Rubble's security was operated by the Rubble Security Council that was elected by the Rubble citizens. A majority of the council members were corrupted or [[Insurrectionist]]s, some were willing to aid [[UNSC]] personnel.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 224''</ref> The Rubble had no official military force but instead had the [[Rubble Defense Force]], which was essentially a glorified militia.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 332''</ref> The defense force and its operations was controlled by the Rubble Security Council.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 254''</ref>
