Andesia | Andesia was [[Human colonies|colonized]] by humanity in [[2450]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Following its establishment as a colony, exploration of Andesia was funded by biotech associations looking to exploit the planet's rich ecosystem for life-extending pharmaceuticals and exotic foodstuffs. The colonization and exploration efforts were followed by the development of local medical research and ultra-tech industries in the [[city|capital city]] of [[Noctus]] and the research center in [[Promesa]].<ref name="canonfodder2">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-shadow-of-intense '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Shadow of Intense'']</ref> In [[2523]], in response to the UEG's tightening grip on the [[human colonies]] and the excessive control taken by the mega-corporate council that served as the ''de facto'' planetary government, a [[Insurrection|rebellion]] broke out on the planet. The insurgency even reached the heavily defended facilities of [[AMG Transport Dynamics]] located in the capital city of Noctus.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} During this time, [[Insurrectionist]]s established a stronghold on the planet. In response, the [[United Nations Space Command]] sent troops, including the [[10th Shock Troops Battalion]], to Andesia to eliminate the rebel presence.<ref name="fudp3">'''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''', ''Part 3''</ref> | ||
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.{{Ref/Reuse|fudp3}} | 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.
