Schönheit Rebellion



The Schönheit Rebellion was a prolonged engagement between United Nations Space Command and Insurrectionist forces following a large-scale uprising on the Inner Colony world of Schönheit. Lasting six months after violence broke out due to mass food shortages to the planet in April of 2504, what ensued was one of the bloodiest battles of the entire, which shocked many who believed rebellion to be an issue strictly relegated to the Outer Colonies. Due to bad publicity and an unwillingness to repeat tactics used during the disastrous uprising years before, the UNSC amassed a sizeable invasion force to quash the rebellion as quickly as possible.
