The United Rebel Front was established in the 2470s, initially relying on propaganda and occasional attacks before shifting to regular attacks with guerilla tactics around [[2500]].<ref name="oni"/> By [[2511]], the Eridanus rebels had overthrown the colonial government of [[Eridanus II]] and largely controlled all activities within the system. The UNSC responded harshly, seeking to put down the rebellion forcibly.
Around [[2511]], the Eridanus rebels had overthrown the colonial government of [[Eridanus II]] and largely controlled all activities within the system. The UNSC responded harshly, seeking to put down the rebellion forcibly.


In [[2513]], a space battle occurred between the Eridanus rebels and the UNSC as part of [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. During the battle, the UNSC achieved a Pyrrhic victory with the loss of four destroyers. Unfortunately, elements of the rebellion escaped into the nearby [[Eridanus Asteroid Belt]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 75-76''</ref>

===Human-Covenant War===
During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the URF's attacks became less frequent, suggesting that its leadership understood the need for unity.<ref name="oni"/> By [[2531]], the United Rebel Front's operations had been disrupted by a four-man team of SPARTAN supersoldiers known as [[Blue Team]]. The team disrupted URF operations including ''[[Station Jefferson]]'', the destroyer ''[[Origami]]'', a saboteur cell on Reach, an incident in [[wikipedia:Micronesia|Micronesia]], and a high-explosives manufacturing facility at an unspecified location.<ref name="Onyx36">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 36''</ref> In response, the rebels gathered three stolen [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead]]s at [[Camp New Hope]] in a way so sloppy that the Office of Naval Intelligence easily noticed, then contacted the UNSC and offered to trade the nukes in exchange for medicine for their people suffering from [[Boren's Syndrome]]. They then set a trap for Blue Team, whom they anticipated would be sent. During the [[raid on Camp New Hope]], the rebels successfully ambushed [[John-117]], [[Frederic-104]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Linda-058]] by using an [[antigravity plate]]. However, the rebels were unaware of the presence of a fifth SPARTAN; a new addition to the team, [[Kurt-051]], who had avoided the trap. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team and they then retreated from the camp with the recovered warheads before the camp could launch a proper counterattack. [[General]] [[Howard Graves]] was killed in the process.

In [[2552]], the Spartans returned to the belt aboard the {{UNSCship|Gettysburg}}-''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' hybrid vessel to make repairs. [[Jacob Jiles|Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. Jiles engaged in a brief "showdown" with UNSC [[Vice Admiral]] [[Danforth Whitcomb]], in which Whitcomb threatened to fire ''Ascendant Justice'''s plasma cannons, while Jiles claimed to aim nuclear weapons at ''Ascendant Justice''. The two soon revealed to one another that all but one of Whitcomb's plasma cannons were nonfunctional and that Jiles' nukes were fake. Suddenly, a [[Covenant]] cruiser that had followed the trail of the vessel appeared in the system. After a short fight, the Covenant ship was destroyed  after dealing severe damage to the ''Gettysburg''-''Ascendant Justice''. Several days later, three dozen Covenant vessels appeared in the system, forcing the ''Gettysburg''-''Ascendant Justice'' to retreat. The Covenant then eradicated the base entirely. The Eridanus rebels were massacred in the process.
