This where I put ideas that have stalled.

United Independence Front
The United Independence Front, also referred to as the New Tyrian Insurrection, the UIF and Independents, was an armed opposition group who operated on New Tyre and now abroad and who's ranks composed of defected soldiers, unsatisfied colonists, and volunteers.

Founded in 2515 by former soldier Nathaniel Hale, the UIF soon became the predominant rebel group on the planet and fought to overthrow the UNSC and establish New Tyre as an independent sovereignty.

However after over eleven years of struggle, New Tyre came under attack from the Covenant and the UIF allied with the UNSC to save New Tyre and then disbanded to fight the greater enemy for the sake of humanity.

Origins
The UIF was originally a disorganized band of malcontents that operated in Lazoli and were small-time insurgents until the defection of a CMA soldier, Nathaniel Hale. Once he took control his military experience and logistical skill gave the group a whole new lease on life. Hale was able to totally reorganize and rearm the group, very quickly remaking them into a organized militia.

Strategy
The United Independence Front aimed to overthrow the colonial government and replace it with a independent one by defeating the goverment's military forces, dismantling corporate conglomerates, and encouraging military defection and of course armed actions. Against the UNSC's superior strength, the UIF adopted guerrilla-style tactics and asymmetric strategies operating in both the rural countrysides and cities. Rather than trying to hold ground or capture territory, the UIF's strategy focused on a planet-wide guerrilla campaign with aim to spread the UNSC's forces thin across the planet and strain their logistical chains of supply for maximum battlefield effectiveness and degrading enemy morale.

Knowing that they cannot face the UNSC in a open battle they focused on maximizing their tactical advantages. To avoid unnecessary attrition and collateral damage the UIF mounted attacks against the UNSC's command-and-control structure and embarking on a planet-wide sabotage campaign, attacking military checkpoints, logistical trains, cutting communications lines, and knocking down relays in order to build support through their minimally destructive strategies. In the long run they hoped to slowly isolate New Tyre from the UNSC so that they could not hold it any longer and that they may finally liberate it from the UNSC's control.

Ideology
As well as being one of the most prominent rebel groups on New Tyre, the UIF was also considered the most moderate in terms of their methods. A clear set of rules-of-engagement set by General Hale himself eschewed the use of child soldiers, suicide bombers, or the targeting of civilian structures entirely. It gave the UIF a sense of moral high ground over the UNSC and their fellow rebels who used terrorist tactics and bombings.

Overview
The Eighth Fleet of Infinite Sacrifice was a Covenant naval fleet during the Human-Covenant War. The fleet served a brief tour of duty before suffering a catastrophic defeat resulting in the near-complete destruction of it during the Battle of Rhododendron.

Operational History
The Eighth Fleet of Infinite Sacrifice was made to fill in the gaps left by recent losses against the humans, it was fresh fleet made almost from scratch with many ships of it were newly constructed.

The first year of service revolved around patrols to test the mostly raw crews against kig-yar pirates.
