'''Andesia''' is a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and controlled by a mega-corporate council which serves as the planet's ''de facto'' administation. | '''Andesia''' is a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet]] governed by the [[Unified Earth Government]] and controlled by a mega-corporate council which serves as the planet's ''de facto'' administation.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} Hosting several large metroplex areas, including the capital of [[Noctus]], the colony is wealthy, highly populated, and almost completely self-sufficient. Despite this, a strong [[Insurrectionist]] movement took root on Andesia shortly before the [[Covenant War]] and reemerged after the conflict's resolution.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder glass}} Illegal immigration to the planet is a problem, but the UEG has tried to make becoming a legal resident easier than ever through the filing of [[form 32]].{{Ref/Reuse|Plaza}} | ||

Andesia's exploration was funded by biotech associations looking to exploit the planet's rich ecosystem for life-extending pharmaceuticals and exotic foodstuffs.

During a [[Conflict on Andesia|firefight]] with Insurrectionists 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. | During a [[Conflict on Andesia|firefight]] with Insurrectionists lasting for approximately [[seven]] hours, [[Ridge]], a member of [[Cadmon Lasky]]'s [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] [[squad]] was killed.

The colony ultimately survived the [[Human-Covenant War]], although tensions between the planet's citizens and the UNSC remained high, with Insurrectionist movements reemerging stronger and more influential than ever.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} The UEG sees Andesia as a vital asset in its long-term plans for reunification and redevelopment of the human colonies. The planet's corporate and political hierarchy remains loyal to the UEG{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder glass}} and periodic UNSC police actions kept violence from breaking out into full-scale civil war. However, turf wars between insurgent factions and their criminal allies, corrupt [[law enforcement]] personnel, and [[Unified Earth Government]] peacekeepers ensured there would be no peace in major population centers.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder2}} [[Spartan-IV]]s are trained in a [[War Games]] simulation based off Noctus in order to prepare for hypothetical peace-keeping operations, and to have them ready to secure strategic facilities in the event of a large insurrection.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder glass}} | ||
Prior to [[2553|May 2553]], Insurrectionist forces captured UEG diplomatic personnel on Andesia. The UNSC responded by sending the [[Spartan-II]] [[Frederic-104]] to rescue the diplomats and neutralize the Insurrection personnel as part of [[Operation: INSTINCT]].<ref name="H5GLtd">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition]]''', ''Spartan Locke's Classified Orders''</ref> | Prior to [[2553|May 2553]], Insurrectionist forces captured UEG diplomatic personnel on Andesia.
