The '''Insurrectionists''', also known as '''insurgents''' and '''rebels''', are groups of [[human]] individuals devoted to complete liberation from the influence of the [[Unified Earth Government]] and the [[United Nations Space Command]]. They were the UNSC's main enemy during the [[Insurrection]], an undeclared civil war between the UNSC and the numerous insurrectionist movements across [[human colonies|human-controlled space]]. Some insurrectionist cells have formed more complex alliances or factions, including the [[United Rebel Front]].<ref group="note">The usage of the term "United Rebel Front" in certain pieces of recent official media is a result of a widespread misinterpretation originally appearing on Halopedia; the term was never used as a proper name in official material before its adoption by Halopedia, and since then has only been referenced extremely sparsely. The origin of this misconception is a singular reference to a "united rebel front" in ''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''. However, the lowercase lettering indicates the term is simply a descriptor used to refer to the nature of the Insurrectionists in question as opposed to being a proper name of an organization or group. This misunderstanding was carried over to the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'', as a sizable portion of the content in the book is ostensibly based on that of Halopedia. For example, the rebel destroyer ''Origami'' is referred to as the "URF ''Origami''"; Halopedia had formerly titled the article as such, but the ship is only referred to as the ''Origami'' in the original source. Additionally, a reference to a "URF" is made in [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|''Halo: Reach'' radio conversations]], where it is used by a UNSC trooper to refer to the Insurrectionists. The description for the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Oceanic|Oceanic]] armor variant in ''Halo 4'' also mentions the "United Rebel Front". Even though the name originates from a widespread fan misunderstanding, its usage in canon material cannot be entirely ignored.</ref> They are commonly called '''Innies''' by the [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]], an ironic name, as they actually "wanted ''out''."<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 11''</ref>

Of particular significance to the reemerging Insurrectionist movement was the colony of [[Venezia]], which had become a nexus for rebel operations during the war, its Insurrectionist government having declared itself sovereign and eliminated the local CAA authorities.<ref name="glass86">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 86''</ref>

In January 2553, a group of Insurrectionists led by [[Isla Zane]] of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] attempted a hostile takeover of the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}. The attack was repelled, largely due to the efforts of Spartans [[Sarah Palmer]] and [[Edward Davis]]. This incident exposed [[Admiral]] [[Mattius Drake]] as secretly the leader of the New Colonial Alliance.<ref name="init3">'''Halo: Initiation''', ''Issue # 3''</ref>
