| | |
| 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 [[Mako-class 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. They also had a supply line consisting of [[Parabola-class freighters|Parabola-class]] and [[Laden-class freighters]].

| ==History==
| |
| | |
| Around 2311, the Eridanus rebels had overthrown the colonial government of [[Eridanus II]], and largely crontrolled all activities within the system. The UNSC responded harshly, seeking to put down the rebellion forcibly.
| |
| | |
| In 2513, a space battle occoured between the Eridanus Rebels and the UNSC, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. In the battle the UNSC was victorious, however four UNSC destroyers were destroyed in the battle. Unfortunately elements of the rebellion escaped into the nearby [[Eridanus Asteroid Belt]].

| 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 [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettusburg|UNSC Gettusburg-Ascendant Justice hybrid]] vessel to make repairs. Governor Jacob Jiles was the leader of the rebels at that time. After a brief 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.
