The '''Eridanus Rebels''' were an armed faction of [[humans]] who | The '''Eridanus Rebels''' were an armed faction of [[humans]] who had rebelled against the [[UNSC]] and its government. There have always been wars and insurrection but the Eridanus Rebels were one of few organized revolutions to endure. The rebels are based out of the [[Epsilon Eridani System]]. | ||
The Eridanus Rebels utilized everything from upgraded [[Pelican]] dropships to [[Mako-class]] corvettes to [[Chiroptera-class]] prowlers as an improvised fleet. They had at least a hundred such vessels in their fleet at any one time. They also had a supply line consisting of [[Parabola-class]] and [[Laden-class]] freighters. They received almost everything in their armament and ships from pirating other vessels, even if it would be a civilian craft, or a lone UNSC vessel. | The Eridanus Rebels utilized everything from upgraded [[Pelican]] dropships to [[Mako-class]] corvettes to [[Chiroptera-class]] prowlers as an improvised fleet.

In [[2552]] the [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettysburg|''UNSC Gettysburg''-''Ascendant Justice'' hybrid]] vessel to make repairs. [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. A brief "showdown" occurred with [[Admiral Whitcomb]] in which Whitcomb threatened to fire the plasma cannons, while Jiles aimed nukes at [[Ascendant Justice]]. Suddenly, a [[Covenant]] cruiser that had followed the trail of the vessel appeared in the system. As it turns out, Whitcomb's plasma cannons were all duds except one and Jiles' nukes were fake ones radiating signals. After a short fight, the Covenant ship was destroyed with severe damage done 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. As far as anyone knows, the Eridanus Rebels were massacred in the process. | In [[2552]] the [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettysburg|''UNSC Gettysburg''-''Ascendant Justice'' hybrid]] vessel to make repairs.

The Eridanus Rebels seem to have been a distinct entity from the [[Insurrectionist|Insurrectionists]] of [[Tribute]], a planet in the same system, hinting that the rebel organisations were less organised than the later [[United Rebel Front]]. | |||
