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>

The fighting continued on the planet for nearly a decade, until the realization of the true threat of the [[Covenant]] forced Andesia's citizens to realign themselves with the UNSC and UEG to survive.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} Ultimately, Andesia did survive the [[Human-Covenant War]], remaining untouched by the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

Although Andesia made it through the war unscathed, 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}}

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 [[Human-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}}
