| The Eridanus Rebels are an armed faction of humans who have 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 [[Eridanus Star System]]

| The Eridanus Rebels utilized everything from upgraded [[Pelican]] dropships to civilian corvettes to ''Chiroptera''-class prowlers as an improvised fleet. They had several at least a hundred such vessels in their fleet at any one time.

| In 2525, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] reported that it had uncovered a breach within FLEETCOM: several spies for the organization. They had also discovered that the rebels were led by a [[Colonel Robert Watts]] and that they had connections to the outside world and were being supplied by outside sources such as the Cargo freighter ''[[Laden]]''. That year a group of [[Spartans]] underwent a covert operation and captured Watts from the very heart of the rebel operation, the rebel stronghold at [[Eridanus Secundus]].

| In 2552 the Spartans returned to the belt aboard the ''[[Gettysburg|UNSC Gettusburg]]''-''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' hibrid vessel to make repairs. [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. After a beief discourse with [[Admiral Whitcomb]], A [[Covenant]] cruiser appeared in the system, following the trail of the vessel. 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. As far as we know, the Eridanus Rebels were massacred in the process.
