| The '''Eridanus Rebels''' are an armed faction of humans who have rebelled against the [[UNSC]] and its government. There have always been wars and insurrection but the Eridanus Rebels were one of few organized revolutions to endure. The rebels are based out of the [[Eridanus Star System]].

| The Eridanus Rebels utilized everything from upgraded [[Pelican]] dropships to [[Mako-class]] corvettes to [[Chiroptera-class]] prowlers as an improvised fleet. They had several at least a hundred such vessels in their fleet at any one time. They also had a supply line consisting of [[Parabola-class]] and [[Laden-class]] freighters.

| ==History==
| |
| | |
| Around [[2511]], the Eridanus rebels had overthrown the colonial government of [[Eridanus II]], and largely crontrolled all activities within the system. The UNSC responded harshly, seeking to put down the rebellion forcibly.
| |
| | |
| In [[2513]], a space battle occoured between the Eridanus Rebels and the UNSC, [[Operation: TREBUCHET]]. In the battle the UNSC was victorious, but four UNSC destroyers were destroyed in the battle. Unfortunately, elements of the rebellion escaped into the nearby [[Eridanus Asteroid Belt]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 75/76</ref>

| In [[2525]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] reported that it had uncovered a breach within FLEETCOM: there were several spies for the organization. They had also discovered that the rebels were led by a [[Colonel Robert Watts]] and that they had connections to the outside world and were being supplied by outside sources such as the cargo freighter Laden.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 76/77</ref> That year a group of Spartans underwent a covert operation and captured Watts from the very heart of the rebel operation, the rebel stronghold at [[Eridanus Secundus]].

| In [[2552]] the [[Spartan]]s returned to the belt aboard the [[UNSC Gettysburg|UNSC Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice hybrid]] vessel to make repairs. [[Governor Jacob Jiles]] was the leader of the rebels at that time. After a brief discourse with [[Admiral Whitcomb]], A [[Covenant]] cruiser appeared in the system, following the trail of the vessel. After a short fight the Covenant ship was destroyed with severe damage done to the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice. Several days later three dozen Covenant vessels appeared in the system, forcing the Gettysburg-Ascendant Justice to retreat. The Covenant then eradicated the base. As far as we know, the Eridanus Rebels were massacred in the process.
