{{ | ===Founding=== | ||
The colony on Gao was founded around the time of the mid-25th century, by founding director [[Ramonda Avelos]]. Another major figure in the history of the Gao Republic was [[Constantine Moya]], considered the "great unifier" by the populace in the 26th century. The first century of Gao's settlement was tumultuous, though was ultimately prosperous and led to the development of a strong independent streak in the culture of the populace.{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=14}} | |||
===Insurrection=== | |||
During the [[Insurrection]], the Gao Republic and its citizens harboured strong sympathies toward the [[insurrectionist]] cause. While officially aligned with the [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]], the Republic was known to secretly aid rebel elements - with the [[Gao Ministry of Protection|Ministry of Protection]]'s clerk [[Arlo Casille]] leading the [[Gao Liberation Force]] from his office prior to and around [[2526]].{{Ref/Novel|HSS|Chapter=6}} During this era, the Republic was subject to oversight from the [[Colonial Military Authority]] who were unaware of such schemes, and many of the GLF's personnel were even able to infiltrate the ranks of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Prowler]] corps. | |||
Likely due to these insurrectionist ties, the colony was subject to a [[Blockade of Gao|blockade]] during the Insurrection.{{Ref/Novel|HDW|Chapter=Epilogue}} | |||
Following the end of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], the UNSC defector [[Hector Nyeto]] returned to the Gao Republic for harbour in the planet's jungles, a status beyond the reach of ONI. As the [[Human-Covenant War]] progressed, Nyeto took up the rank of [[General]] in the Republic's [[Gao Ministry of War|Ministry of War]] to fight against the [[UNSC]] and CMA directly, eventually coming to serve as one of the Republic's then-fourteen presidents. | |||
In [[2553]], [[Minister of Protection]] [[Arlo Casille]] allied with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Venezian Militia]] in order to stage a coup and oust the sitting [[President of the Gao Republic|president]], [[Tejo Aponte]]. Incumbent in his plans was also a hope that a [[UNSC]] [[battle group]] at the planet could be provoked into attacking, which might have triggered insurrectionist sympathy on Gao and throughout human-occupied space. Casille successfully was elected president by the [[Cabinet of Ministers]], but his plans to antagonize the UNSC failed.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: Last Light|Chapter=??}} | |||

Gao has its own independent arms industry, [[Sevine Arms]]{{Ref/Novel|HLL|Chapter=11}} | |||
==Military== | |||
The Gao Republic hosts its own independent armed forces, headed up by the [[Gao Ministry of War]]. The Gao armed forces include the [[Gao Space Navy]] which operates the military's naval warships, alongside a ground element with their own special operations soldiers known as [[Gao battle-jumpers|battle-jumpers]]. | |||
The [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] also operates a small fleet of [[patrol corvette]]s for customs duties and orbital policing, though even twenty of these vessels were not considered enough to match the firepower of a single [[UNSC Navy]] {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}. Combined with half a dozen [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]], a single UNSC [[task force]] was considered capable of outmatching the total naval firepower available to Gao and its allies combined.{{Ref/Novel|HLL|Chapter=5}} | |||
