| - Far Isle survives. An unthinkable proposition. Gaze through the looking glass into a world that very well could have been. In 2478, the Colonial Administration Authority government of Far Isle became increasingly draconian in their laws to prevent rebellion, the Inner Colony Wars and recent conflicts still fresh in the minds of the authorities. These tensions came to a head in 2492, when the government instituted martial law and ordered that all private firearms be confiscated. In response, much of the Colonial Military Administration forces on the colony refused to follow the orders, and, along with the citizenry, set about overthrowing the administration, who called upon the United Nations Space Command to send troops to halt the uprising. By the time UNSC forces arrived, the Insurrectionist had prepared for a long, drawn out guerrilla war, which the reclamation turned into. When the proposition to nuke the colony and be done with the mess was brought up, the party's decision was rejected almost immediately. And so the war for Far Isle dragged on, until 2500, when the UNSC, with many already dead, and the total increasing daily, decided to withdraw from the planet, leaving the rest of the Insurrectionist forces a steady base from which to launch their attacks.
