User:-AR-/2472 Coup

The 2472 Coup D'état, Coup of 2472, or 2472 Coup, was a failed effort to overthrow the entire United Earth Government in a single, decisive act. Masterminded by several prominent UNSC Army generals, the Coup would inevitably set the foundation for the United Rebel Front, and many units under their command would become the first of the U.R.F.'s makeshift Military. The Coup of 2472 constituted the last great plot against the U.E.G. from inside its own ranks, and despite the subsequent arrests of many of the plot's leading figures, as well as the defeat of their military compatriots, many of the plotters would escape punishment via stolen UNSC warships.
