— Dr. Evan Phillips

Terrorism is the systematic use of violence (terror) as a means of coercion for political purposes. The United Nations Space Command considers some Insurrectionist factions[1] and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant remnant[2] to be terrorist organizations.

This event, the Callisto Incident, effectively sparked the Insurrection.[3]
