Perhaps the most notorious instance of the brutal and heavy-handed approach the UNSC and CMA took to quelling rebellions in the late 25th century was that of [[Far Isle]]. In [[2492]], in the midst of the rising tensions throughout the colonies, Far Isle was among the first of the colonies to go into a full-scale revolt. Despite their best efforts, the UNSC were unable to contain the rebellion, and as a result, they resorted to [[nuclear weapon]]ry, razing the entire colony and leaving no survivors from the populace. They subsequently declared [[Bandersnatch|Code: BANDERSNATCH]], indicating a major radiological- or energy-based disaster.{{Ref|'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''' - Chapter Twenty-One, Page 183 (2006 edition)''|Name=GoOFarIsle}}{{Ref|'''''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]''' - Locations: Human Colonies'', Page 288 (2009 edition); Page 300 (2011 edition)|Name=EncyclopediaFarIsle}}{{Ref|'''''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''' - Chapter Ten'', Page 291-292 (2014 edition)|Name=MortalDictataFarIsle}} | Perhaps the most notorious instance of the brutal and heavy-handed approach the UNSC and CMA took to quelling rebellions in the late 25th century was that of [[Far Isle]].

In the year [[2525]], a [[SPARTAN-II]] team, led by [[John-117]], went on a mission to infiltrate and capture rebel leader [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]]. The Spartans sneaked on board via the ''[[Laden]]''. Once on board, they located a cargo that contained luxury items such as [[Sweet William cigar]]s and [[champagne]], verifying Watts' presence. | In the year [[2525]], a [[SPARTAN-II]] team, led by [[John-117]], went on a mission to infiltrate and capture rebel leader [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]].

As the new threat became apparent, 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 in remote locations such as habitats like [[the Rubble]] or Outer Colony worlds, many of which were eventually glassed. However, not all insurrectionists stopped their attacks against the UNSC, and continued their aggression for years after the beginning of the war with the Covenant.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 45''</ref> | As the new threat became apparent, 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 in remote locations such as habitats like [[the Rubble]] or Outer Colony worlds, many of which were eventually glassed.
