When the [[UNSC Navy]] arrived in the [[Eridanus system]] system to crush the rebel forces during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] in [[2513]], ''Iliad'' led the Insurrectionist fleet against them in a battle over [[Eridanus II]]. During the battle, ''Iliad'' provided cover for another rebel vessel, the ''[[Gateway]]'', which was having problems with her [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]]. ''Iliad'' fired towing cables at a [[Marathon-class cruiser|UNSC cruiser]] and then accelerated, tearing the ship in half. ''Iliad'' then dragged the other half into another cruiser, destroying it as well. Soon after, ''Gateway'' and ''Iliad'' jumped into slipspace and rendezvoused with the rest of the rebel fleet at predesignated coordinates.<ref name="boot"/> | |||
