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 [[Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|destroyers]]: the {{UNSCShip|Jericho}}, the {{UNSCShip|Buenos Aires}}, and the {{UNSCShip|Las Vegas}}. | 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.

All of the ships fired six [[Ares missile]]s at the renegade corvette. 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. | ||
The ''Buenos Aires'' was engulfed in the explosion and destroyed, and the other two ships were seriously damaged. [[Second Lieutenant]] [[Preston Cole]], as the only living or conscious officer aboard the bridge of the ''Las Vegas'', took control of the vessel. He signaled the ''Callisto'', activating the ship's distress signal and requested medical aid for the wounded. When the ''Callisto'' docked with the ''Las Vegas ''in order to take command of the ship, Cole detonated the ships last Ares missile, which had been planted inside the docking bay, critically damaging the ''Callisto''. Cole then bluffed by opening the empty missile silos on his ship and ordered the ''Callisto'' to surrender and allow ''Las Vegas''{{'}}s AI to take control. | The ''Buenos Aires'' was engulfed in the explosion and destroyed, and the other two ships were seriously damaged.

{{Article quote|History looks upon this time as an unfortunate (and perhaps inevitable?) misunderstanding between Earth and her colonies, but those fighting for the last decade also realize that it was the most amazing piece of blind fortune the human race has ever stumbled upon.

While the reason for the UNSC's eventual victory was arguably the [[Great Schism]] within the Covenant, from the Insurrection came the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], [[Titanium-A armor]], [[soft-seal]] technology employed in [[boarding]] actions, advances in ship-to-ship warfare tactics, the incorporation of the [[Illegal Entry Protocols]] and [[Counter-Illegal Entry Protocols]] into [[smart AI]]s, and above all, the SPARTAN-IIs, all of which would prove crucial in humanity's fight against the Covenant. | While the reason for the UNSC's eventual victory was arguably the [[Great Schism]] within the Covenant, from the Insurrection came the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], [[Titanium-A armor]], [[soft-seal]] technology employed in [[Naval boarding|boarding]] actions, advances in ship-to-ship warfare tactics, the incorporation of the [[Illegal Entry Protocols]] and [[Counter-Illegal Entry Protocols]] into [[smart AI]]s, and above all, the SPARTAN-IIs, all of which would prove crucial in humanity's fight against the Covenant. | ||
