The Callisto Incident was a pivotal event which is often considered to have started the Insurrection, widening the scope of the conflict from occasional, disparate colonial rebellions into hostilities on a larger scale. The {{UNSCShip|Callisto}}, a [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], was captured by Insurrectionists when boarding merchant vessels, and all UNSC crew aboard it were killed. In response, the UNSC sent a [[battle group]] of three [[Unnamed UNSC light destroyer class|destroyers]]: the {{UNSCShip|Jericho}}, the {{UNSCShip|Buenos Aires}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Las Vegas}}.

On March 2, 2494, the battle group eventually found the ''Callisto'' in the [[26 Draconis System]]. All of the ships fired six [[Ares missile]]s at the renegade destroyer. However, the ''Callisto'' managed to avoid destruction by maneuvering behind an [[asteroid]]. The insurrectionists then detonated a nuke hidden inside the asteroid before hand, launching the debris toward the UNSC ships.
