Timeline
Little is known about Operation: TREBUCHET. It was one of the largest battles between the UNSC and its anarchist opposition. The battle was short and the UNSC won easily, however, four of its destroyers were destroyed in the fight. The disorganized Eridanus Rebels were eventually brought together by the turncoat Colonel Robert Watts and raised a small navy in an attempt to breakaway from the UNSC. The Eridanus system was a battleground for a short while, ending in this operation. Eventually, after the battle, the rebels were routed. Elements of the leadership escaped to the nearby asteroid belt where they established a base in the asteroid Eridanus Secundus.
