Insurrection of Andesia

The Insurrection of Andesia was a series of conflicts between the UEG and the Insurrectionists on the planet of Andesia.

Background
As the UEG and the corporate council on Andesia began to exert more and more control, hatred for both began to broil. In 2523, an explosion of Insurrectionist activity began on the planet.

Fighting in Noctus
The capital city of Noctus became a battleground. It was constantly patrolled by Pelicans which became targets for rebels as several were shotdown. Fighting even reached a protected AMG Transport Dynamics facility in the city.

Fighting in Promesa
Turf wars between rebels, criminals, corrupt security forces, and UEG peacekeepers were common on the streets of Promesa at this time.

Other Battles
At some point during the battle, the 10th Shock Troops Battalion deployed to counter the Insurrection. While deployed there in 2526, Cadmon Lasky and his entire squad were killed off.

Aftermath
Due in part to UNSC police actions, the colony did not reach the point of full civil war. However fighting on any scale only stopped when the Covenant arrived forcing either side to focus on surviving. After the Human-Covenant war, the rebels returned even stronger, forcing the UNSC to begin training SPARTAN-IVs for possible counter-insurgency operations.
