User:Phalanx Actual/Post-War Insurgents

After the majority of the major rebel factions were taken fragmented and destroyed by SPARTAN-B312 in 2552, remaining insurrectionists went into hiding, assimilating once again into the civilian populace. No insurgent attacks were reported until April 2553 during the bombing of the UEG HQ by surviving insurgents.

Attacks from insurgents were scarce until the turn of the century, when insurgent factions claimed that the end of the 26th century would also become the end of the United Earth Government. Though hundreds of Government employees were harmed in the September attacks, the insurrection was quelled at the hands of ORION O2A Predator Squadron, the first major deployment of the ORION Soldiers since the end of the great war. It was also at this time when the ORION III, a larger, somewhat declassified program was activated to the dismay of many rebel factions.

Insurgent attacks were at constant and violent by the time the first VORON ORION III Soldiers graduated in 2620, after the graduation of the ORION II, now a classified operations unit's Third class. ONI Section 3 reported that by 2620, a total of 200 ORION II Operators were in the field, and a total of 22,000 ORION III Supersoldiers were now being deployed against insurgent forces after the dissolution of the CMA's Counter-Insurgency force due to the funds being diverted to the UNSC Equivelent, VORON.

The ORION III and ORION II soldiers were deployed on parallel operations, success rates for ORION forces was at an astonishing 100%. Insurgent forces were on the verge of defeat when the Precursor Exiles entered UNSC-Sangheili space, around two months after they had initated communications with the UNSC, negotiations broke down and the UNSC was once again thrust into a brutal war.

Insurgents were forced into hiding despite the fact planetary battles were a large opportunity to capture UNSC Vessels despite the hostile forces in the area.
