'''Andesia''' is a [[ | '''Andesia''' is a [[human]] colony world, governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The planet's capital is [[Noctus]]. Andesia is controlled by a mega-corporate council that is largely resented by the planet's residents.<ref name="cannonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Cannon Fodder: Beta Late Than Never'']</ref> | ||
During a firefight with [[Insurrectionist]]s lasting for approximately [[seven]] hours, [[Ridge]], a member of [[Cadmon Lasky]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] [[squad]] was killed. | ==History== | ||
In [[2523]], in response to the UEG's tightening grip on the [[human colonies]] and the excessive control taken by the mega-corporate council that served as the ''de facto'' planetary government, a rebellion broke out on the planet. The insurgency even reached the heavily defended facilities of [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] located in the capital city of [[Noctus]].<ref name="cannonfodder"/> Members of the [[Insurrection]] established a stronghold on the planet. In response, the [[UNSC Defense Force]] sent troops, including the [[10th Shock Troops Battalion]], to Andesia to eliminate the rebel presence.<ref name="fudp3">'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', ''Part 3''</ref> | |||
During a firefight with [[Insurrectionist]]s lasting for approximately [[seven]] hours, [[Ridge]], a member of [[Cadmon Lasky]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] [[squad]] was killed. Afterwards, Cadmon estimated that he must have killed a dozen of the Insurrectionists. Sometime later, Cadmon and the rest of his squad was [[killed in action]] on the planet.<ref name="fudp3"/> The fighting continued on the planet for nearly a decade, until the realization of the true threat of the [[Covenant]] caused Andesia's citizens to realign themselves with the UNSC and UEG to survive. The colony ultimately survived the [[Human-Covenant War]], although tensions between the planet's citizens and the UNSC remained high. [[SPARTAN-IV]]s are trained in a [[War Games]] simulation based of of Noctus to prepare them for the eventual rise of insurgents on the planet, and to have them ready to secure strategic facilities when said insurrection occurs.<ref name="cannonfodder"/> | |||
