User:Sgt.T.N.Biscuits/Insurrection of Mamore

The Insurrection of Mamore was a large armed conflict between the United Rebel Front and the UNSC. It saw the first use of Spartan-IIIs against human forces and was one of the last battles in the Insurrection.

Background
With the outbreak of the Human-Covenant War in 2525, most rebel groups regained loyalty to the UNSC out of the need for survival. However several large Insurrectionist movements remained in power, setting up strongholds across human systems. The colony of Mamore, for example was routinely home to massive rioting and rebellions. After several years, the UNSC Army failed to end hostilies and the UNSC was forced to send in Spartan-IIIs.

Opening Actions
On May 23rd, 2537 the UNSC Carrier Magellan along side the frigates Paris and Yellow Sea, arrived in the Mamore system. The two frigates proceeded to attack hostile craft, while the Magellan approached the planet Mamore. Upon maintaining orbit, the carrier released 12 dozen members of Spartan-III Alpha Company onto the surface of the planet via HEVs. The remaining Spartan-IIIs were sent secretly aboard Pelican dropships.
