History

In 2496, a well organized Insurrection campaign led to the destruction of the Colonial Military Authority garrison force and the collapse of the UEG-authorized government.^[1]

In 2535, UNSC peacekeeping forces on the planet were redeployed to fight against Covenant which were attacking the sector. Two years later, in 2537, the Colonial Administration Authority would conduct a census of the planet.^[1]

In 2552, the Covenant attacked an Insurrectionist outpost on Madrigal while searching for a Forerunner artifact in a nearby cave system. Despite the intervention of Spartan-II Silver Team, all of the Insurrectionists were wiped out except for teenager Kwan Ha. The attacking Sangheili were wiped out by the Spartans and their Phantom was captured by the UNSC, but a single Sangheili managed to escape in a Banshee to report to the Prophet of Mercy. John-117 retrieved the artifact from the cave system before leaving the planet with Kwan Ha.^[2]
