The [[Insurrectionist|secessionist rebels]] in the system staged a localized rebellion against the UNSC in [[2494]]. The UNSC struck back two years later in [[Operation: CHARLEMAGNE]] and forced the rebels out at the cost of four [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc44}} A large number of rebels survived, however, and under the command of the UNSC turncoat [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]], overthrew the civilian government of the system in [[2513]]. Watts was presumed killed in the UNSC's counterattack, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], but in fact he escaped to [[Eridanus Secundus]] in the system's [[asteroid]] belt with the rest of the rebels.

As part of Operation: TREBUCHET in [[2524]], [[Colonial Military Administration]] Marines attempted to raid an [[Insurrectionist]] base on [[Teribus Island]]. Sympathizers in the unit tipped the Insurrectionists off, and by the time the dropship arrived it had been abandoned. Later, a nightclub in Elysium City was targeted by Insurrectionist bombers because it was a favorite CMA area for off-duty personnel, killing dozens of civilians and a CMA pilot, [[Allison Stark]] and putting a CMA Marine, [[Eric Santiago]], into a coma. [[Gage Yevgenny]] and [[Felicia Sanderson]] were injured, but survived the attack.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]'', "Dirt"</ref> Around this time, [[refugee]]s from Eridanus II ended up in [[Pirth City]] on [[Arcadia]] and [[New Jerusalem]].<ref>''[[Hunt the Truth]]''</ref>

At an unknown time, a skirmish between UNSC and Insurrectionist forces during [[Operation: ROCK HOUSE]] took place.{{Ref/Game|Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition|Spartan Locke's Classified Orders}}
