Originally, the breakaway movements started as disquiet against the [[Colonial Administration Authority]]'s oversight of the Outer Colonies, with the colonists tired of the organization's often overbearing bureaucracy. It first started as peaceful protests, and after years of frustrating negotiations, some groups began to use more forceful methods, eventually abandoning diplomacy in favor of terrorist tactics. | Originally, the breakaway movements started as disquiet against the [[Colonial Administration Authority]]'s oversight of the Outer Colonies, with the colonists tired of the organization's often overbearing bureaucracy.

The Insurrection claimed millions of lives between the late 2490's and the mid-2520's. The various rebel groups had become extremely adept at creating improvised explosive devices difficult for the UNSC to detect, and therefore stop, and had struck many high profile targets, [[National Holiday|even in orbit]] above [[Reach]] itself. Some opponents of the war believed the simplest solution was to simply give the rebels their autonomy - for the UNSC to pull out, and let the rebels have their independence. However, the value of the colonies made them simply too important to abandon. | The Insurrection claimed millions of lives between the late 2490's and the mid-2520's.
