Due to their importance, communications hubs can be optimal targets for [[Insurrectionist]] attacks. In early [[2552]], rebels on [[Harmony]] disabled a relay and stole two dry-docked [[freighter]]s. Similarly, it was assumed that the communications disruption at the Visegrad relay station on July 23, 2552 was caused by insurgents, before it was revealed to be the work of a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] advance party instead.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''Noble Actual''</ref> | Due to their importance, communications hubs can be optimal targets for [[Insurrectionist]] attacks.
