After a tentative agreement, Whitcomb convinced [[Jiles]], the governor, to house their battered ships and repair them. Soon, a Covenant ship arrived. Whitcomb quickly destroyed it, but at the loss of their last functional turret, showing that there was most likely more Covenant ships coming. Whitcomb, feeling it was his duty to warn [[Earth]] first, initiated a [[Slipspace]] jump, leaving the rebels behind, helpless against the soon to arrive Covenant. | After a tentative agreement, Whitcomb convinced [[Jiles]], the governor, to house their battered ships and repair them.

After the end of the Human-Covenant War, many insurrectionist movements which had ceased their operations during the war began to resurface. Following the ceasefire, the UNSC began attempts to broker peace with the surviving Outer Colonies and [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]] embarked on a diplomatic mission to discuss reconstruction. A number of colonies refused this offer and cut all ties with the UNSC, which, according to them, had abandoned them during the war.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 70''</ref> Many insurrectionist cells were also able to acquire copious amounts of Covenant and UNSC weapons and equipment circulating on the [[black market]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 448''</ref> | After the end of the Human-Covenant War, many insurrectionist movements which had ceased their operations during the war began to resurface.

Of particular significance to the reemerging insurrectionist movement was the colony of [[Venezia]], which had become a major center for rebel operations during the war, when its insurrectionist government had declared itself sovereign and eliminated the local CAA authorities.<ref name="glass86">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 86''</ref> | Of particular significance to the reemerging insurrectionist movement was the colony of [[Venezia]], which had become a major center for rebel operations during the war, when its [[Venezian militia|insurrectionist government]] had declared itself sovereign and eliminated the local CAA authorities.<ref name="glass86">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 86''</ref> | ||
Another formidable force to resurge was the [[United Rebel Front]]. After the war, they had multiple planets under their control like [[Talitsa]] and [[Terceira]], which compelled the UNSC to conduct raids using [[Spartan (branch)|Spartan]] forces.<ref>'''Halo 4''', Wetwork Armor description</ref> | Another formidable force to resurge was the [[United Rebel Front]].

Also of major significance was the rise of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] founded by rogue UNSC Admiral [[Mattius Drake]], which in early 2553 attempted to hijack the newly-commissioned {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. In this attack, former [[SPARTAN-IV]] candidate [[Ilsa Zane]] and her NCA combatants staged a mutiny on the vessel and managed to briefly seize control of the bridge. The attack was foiled by Spartan forces aboard the ''Infinity'' and the boarders were all killed or captured, leading to the UNSC's discovery of the new movement's existence.<ref name="init3"/> | Also of major significance was the rise of the [[New Colonial Alliance]], founded by rogue UNSC Admiral [[Mattius Drake]], which in early 2553 attempted to hijack the newly-commissioned {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

In March of that year, they attempted a [[Battle of Ealen IV|direct attack]] on the UNSC during a peace negotiation between the [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Sangheili]] on the planet of [[Ealen IV]]. Having orchestrated the attack through a double agent later identified as [[Spartan-IV]] supersoldier [[Vladimir Scruggs]], the NCA contracted [[Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group|Sangheili mercenaries]] led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]] to assassinate the delegation, comprised of Fleet Admiral [[Lord Hood]], [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Lydus]], and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. However, the UNSC successfully repelled this attack and saved the members of the delegation, but not before the peace process was once again stalled. <ref name="esc3"/> | ||

Later that | Later that month, Captain [[Daniel Clayton]] of the NCA sought revenge against [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} for the loss of his father Captain [[James Cutter]] and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} decades earlier, ambushing the vessel at [[Oth Lodon]] with the help of Gajat's mercenary faction. Utilizing a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant Station's]] glassing cannon, Clayton managed to cripple the Flagship and kill a significant portion of the ''Infinity'''s crew. However, Spartan forces saved the ''Infinity'' by succeeding in killing Vata 'Gajat and apprehending Captain Clayton.<ref name="esc6">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref> With Daniel Clayton captured, Lord Hood visited the turncoat captain in his cell, querying Clayton about the intentions of the NCA's leader, [[Mattius Drake|Admiral Drake]]. Clayton only told Hood the NCA was stronger than before and had agents on every colony, even Earth, before being shipped to [[Midnight Facility]] on Hood's orders.<ref name="esc6"/> | ||
