Humanity Liberation Front

The Humanity Liberation Front, also known as the HLF, was a particularly elusive Insurrectionist group with roots stretching all the way back to before Operation: TREBUCHET and to the Insurrection's beginning. It was founded upon the premise that under the UNSC and UEG humanity was being systematically enslaved by a pervasive government and powerful military, and its ultimate goal was to abolish both organizations and return humanity to its nationalist roots, with the resulting "countries" (which would ideally be composed of planets or solar systems) free to expand and develop in ways that each one's people saw fit. Unlike many of the other rebel factions of the time, its founders knew that it would be impossible to defeat an organization so extensive as the UNSC with mere terrorist tactics, and so they waited and began to accumulate money and resources while their fellow rebels waged a hopeless campaign against the UNSC and its military. By the beginning of the Human-Covenant War the HFL remained unknown to the UNSC, and it had many well placed moles deep within both the government and the military. With many resources to spare but a relatively small number of members to rely upon, it established a handful of hidden outposts on small, out of the way worlds in the hopes of waiting out the entire war while also gathering more members and equipment. It is unknown who its ultimate leader was during this time, but Redmond Venter was the leader of one of its bases and was able to exercise enough authority over the organization's resources to plan a terror campaign against the UNSC without the knowledge of the other outposts.
