UNSC forces | UNSC forces begin their campaign to retake the planet, deploying a battlegroup of unknown size to engage the makeshift Insurrectionist defence fleet. Despite the UNSC's best attempts at removing the entrenched rebellion, ONI fails to discover the location of their base. This hollowed-out asteroid would remain a safe haven for Insurrectionists for another three decades.<ref name=TFOR/> | ||

The last known operations involved the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers in [[2525]]. A team of five SPARTAN-IIs were dispatched and to infiltrate the rebel base at Eridanus Secundus and capture Watts, the rebel leader. They succeeded in doing so, crippling but not destroying the rebel infrastructure in the Eridanus system.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 83</ref> Shortly afterward, the Spartans were sent to halt a rebellion on [[Jericho VII]]. | The last known operations involved the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers in [[2525]].

The operation was abruptly concluded with the start of the Human-Covenant War after the [[First Battle of Harvest]]. Though the [[Insurrection]] continued for a long time, the rebel threat in the system was rapidly decreased when the genocidal Covenant destroyed the systems, [[glassing]] planets and killing every human they encountered. In the meantime, many of the rebels, seeing that the UNSC offered the only real protection against the overwhelming Covenant force, ceased to resist, and either submitted to the UNSC's control or hid themselves away from both UNSC and Covenant attack.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref> Some groups of rebels survived free of UNSC control for as long as [[2552]]. The majority simply continued their daily lives without interfering with the UNSC. Others even decided to offer dealings with the UNSC. However, it transpired that some were traps. | The operation was abruptly concluded with the start of the Human-Covenant War after the [[First Battle of Harvest]].

The rebel base in the Eridanus system was marked for further attack, but for some reason, likely due to the greater threat the Covenant posed, it was left alone and mostly forgotten until 2552 when [[Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and a small crew including the AI [[Cortana]] and several Spartans (including all but one of the team that attacked the base) returned looking for repairs. After being convinced to help by a Covenant attack, the rebels repaired the ''Ascendant Justice-Gettysburg'' to operational status, but the two ships were too badly damaged to be fully repaired before the Covenant returned. The UNSC forces were forced to abandon the rebels and the base and the rebels have been presumably destroyed. | The rebel base in the Eridanus system was marked for further attack, but for some reason, likely due to the greater threat the Covenant posed, it was left alone and mostly forgotten until 2552 when [[Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] and a small crew including the AI [[Cortana]] and several Spartans (including all but one of the team that attacked the base) returned looking for repairs.
