Insurrection: Difference between revisions

The '''Insurrection'''<ref>It is mentioned in the "blurb" at the back of the novel [[Halo: Contact Harvest]].</ref> is the proper name given to the civil war which was fought by the [[UNSC]] and the [[Insurrectionist|rebels]] of various planets of the outer colonies. The [[Insurrectionists]] did not want the Human-Covenant War, for reasons ranging from pacificity to reverence of aliens. [[UNSC]] [[Marines]] held [[Insurrectionists]] in low esteem and refer to them as "Innies." [[Insurrectionists]] started out as peaceful protesters. As no progress was made and negociations failed the Insurrectionists "evolved" and used terrorist tactics. They would bomb military and government targets in protest, progressing ever further to non-military targets, which according to [[Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson]] cause the Insurrectionist cause to lose all of its support and sympathizers. Later in the war, the [[Insurrectionists]] managed to bomb a civilian spaceship cruise.(The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] managed to pass it off as an accident). The Insurrectionists used cunning methods to fool the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] such as changing methods of hiding chemical radiation from the [[ARGUS]] tools. Brutal methods were used on both sides, as the [[UNSC]] forces showed no mercy upon prisoners. One such instance was portrayed in the book, ''[[Contact on Harvest]]'', where an [[ONI]] officer orders [[Staff Sergeant Byrne]] to execute all the prisoners besides the one who gave in to answering questions regarding the bomb's location.
