Introduction
One of the many rebel groups in the Galaxy, the Colonial Fringers were a band of anti-UNSC militants determined to oust the UNSC from the outer colonies.

Affiliation
Like may rebel groups, the Colonial Fringers were nominal members of the URF. However, beyond their common hatred of the UNSC, the Colonial Fringers and the URF often had very little in common, having widely different policies, goals, and strategies, a fact that prevented either one from forging a strong alliance with the other.

An extensive propaganda network primarily among illegal immigrants on Earth and other UNSC planets generated some support for the Fringer's cause, although this support was far from universal thanks the the brutal terror tactics employed by the Fringers, tactics which alienated citizens of all walks of life.

Goals
Angry at the UNSC's colonial policies, which they viewed as "exploitation" and "imperialism," the Colonial Fringers were devoted to the cause of driving the UNSC from their outer colony worlds and destroying

Tactics
The Colonial Fringers were know galaxy-wide for their devastating bombings, gassings, and poisonings, thought to be responsible for the deaths of almost a million people. The ruthless leadership of the Fringers meant that they had few qualms about the slaughter of innocent civilians through indiscriminatory attacks on population centers.

The most common tact's of Fringer terrorists included:


 * Bombings in transit centers, office buildings, skyports, markets, thoroughfares, bridges, schools, nuclear facilites etc.


 * Release of toxic substance such as nerve agents into the air-conditioning systems of large buildings, water and food supplies of cities and planets, and into the atmosphere.


 * Release of contagious epidemic disease into planets with large, concentrated populations.


 * Orbital release or airbursting explosives capable of causing heavy casualties, and severely damaging buildings.


 * Commando raids and the violent takeovers of UNSC small colonies combined with the mass public executions of UNSC personnel and civilians to consolidate the Fringers' base of power.

Note: The lack of significant military forces within the Fringers requires them to resort to the above-mentioned terrorist tactics.

Military Strength
At their peak strength the Fringers numbered around 11,000 men and women, approximately 3 space-capable vessels, an assortment of aircraft, fighters, and other vehicles, along with a wide variety of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) acquired from the UNSC, the Covenant, and their own scientists and production facilities.

Weapons and Equipment
Given their tight budget and illegal status, the Colonial Fringers were often forced to use obsolete, cast-off UNSC and Covenant weapons and equipment, although they did posses some unique weaponry of their own, primarily powerful WMDs for use in terror strikes.
