Operation: TREBUCHET

Summary
One of the major rebellions in the history of the UNSC, but it was not the last time the government would have to deal with the rebels.

Synopsis
Little is known about Operation: TREBUCHET. It was one of the largest battles between the UNSC and its anarchist opposition. The forces involved consisted of several UNSC destroyers and carriers, deployed against at least one hundred smaller rebel vessels. The UNSC forces defeated their rebel counterparts with little difficulty. The disorganized Eridanus Rebels were eventually brought together by the turncoat Colonel Robert Watts and raised a small navy in an attempt to breakaway from the UNSC. The Eridanus system was a battleground for a short while, ending in this operation. Eventually, after the battle, the rebels were routed. Elements of the leadership escaped to the nearby asteroid belt where they established a base in the asteroid Eridanus Secundus.
