The '''Insurrectionists''', also known as '''insurgents''', and '''rebels''', are groups of [[human]] individuals devoted to complete liberation from the influence of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]]. They were the UNSC's main enemy during the [[Insurrection]], an undeclared civil war between the UNSC and the numerous Insurrectionist movements across [[human colonies|human-controlled space]] which took place predominantly before the [[Human-Covenant War]], although sporadic conflicts between the two sides have continued since.

However, a portion of Insurrectionists were also former UNSC and [[Colonial Military Authority|CMA]] defectors; the entire leadership of the United Rebel Front was comprised of ex-UNSC generals, and the rebels had connections across the UNSC, including [[UNSC Fleet Command|FLEETCOM]].<ref name="tfor76">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 76-77'' (2001)</ref> In addition to those who sincerely believed in their cause of liberation, the movement also attracted a number of opportunists and mercenaries who joined them for monetary gain.<ref name="Halo page 448">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 448''</ref> | ||
