This is the last known operation involved the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers in [[2525]]. A team of five SPARTAN-IIs was dispatched and sent to infiltrate the rebel base at Eridanus Secundus and capture Watts, the rebel leader. They suceeded in doing so, crippling but not destroying the rebel infastructure in the Eridanus system<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 83</ref>. | |||
The operation was abruptly concluded with the start of the Human-Covenant War after the [[Battle of Harvest]]. Though the [[Insurrection]] continued for longer, the rebel threat in the system was rapidly decreased when the genocidal Covenant destroyed the systems, [[glassing]] planets and killing every human they encountered. In the meantime, many of the rebels, seeing that the UNSC offered the only real protection against the overwhelming Covenant force, ceased to resist, and either submitted to the UNSC's control or hid themselves away from both UNSC and Covenant attack<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]]</ref>. Some groups of rebels survived free of UNSC control for as long as [[2552]]. | The operation was abruptly concluded with the start of the Human-Covenant War after the [[Battle of Harvest]].
