Insurrectionist

The Insurrectionists, otherwise dubbed as Innies by the Marines, were the individuals making up the Insurrection, the UNSC's main enemy before the First Battle of Harvest, where the Covenant quickly became the new antagonist. They could be referred to as terrorists, due to them only impeding the UNSC's progress to colonize and prosper.

Operation: TREBUCHET was one of the largest and farthest reaching operations ever conducted in UNSC history. It was devised in order to rid the galaxy of the Insurrectionists, once and for all, but was promptly abandoned following the beginning of the Human-Covenant War.

The Insurrectionists were present far beyond the Outer Colonies. They colonized and inhabited Hesiod, the only Rebel colony not to have been destroyed by the Covenant. The Insurrectionists protected refugees from other colonies at The Rubble, where an uneasy truce existed between the humans and the Kig-Yar, who were the original inhabitants of the asteroids.

Even as the UNSC continue the war against the Covenant, Insurrectionists still cause many problems, forcing the UNSC to fight a two front war. One against the Covenant and one against the Insurrection.

Battles
Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson and other marines attacked several Insurrectionists inside a building on Harvest, looking for bombs. The Insurrectionists wh survived the fight where later taken prisoners by Johnson and his squad. The first Innie to be asked didn't say anything and had his legs later broken. The second Innie to be questioned told them it was inside the tires. The remaining Innies were killed. .

Trivia

 * "Innies" is a rather ironic naming, as they desperately "wanted out" of the UNSC government.
 * In skirmish mode in Halo Wars, most empty bases and unoccupied Forerunner artifacts are occupied by Insurrectionists, and you must defeat them to claim the area.
