United Rebel Front (Safe Havens)

The United Rebel Front, also known by its acronym URF, was an military alliance formed by a triumvirate of leading rebel commanders in after the disastrous defeat of the Eridanus People's Republic. Formed through the efforts of General and Colonel Although Robert Watts was often referred to as 'Colonel' by Insurrectionists and UNSC personnel alike, in reality he held the rank of General in the United Rebel Front, and his moniker of Colonel was a holdover from his early days as an Insurrectionist, the URF's goal was to unify the disparate rebel forces into a alliance that would be able to take collective and coordinated action in order to bring down UEG control over the Outer Colonies. By , the URF had been able to accomplish this, bringing an estimated 80% of Insurrectionist groups into its fold, with the remaining 20% at least tangentially working with them. Although the organization suffered a great blow in 2525 with the capture of Robert Watts and in 2537 with the death of General Graves, as the dragged on many URF-aligned groups were able to overthrow their colonial governments and establish their own independent states. As a result, the final member of the triumvirate and de jure commander of the URF, General Adam Makosky, became largely irrelevant to the alliance as these new independent states, although still part of the URF, were not interested in direct action against the UEG now that they were independent, and so no longer had need of an overall commander now that they had diplomatic channels with each other.
Despite this, the URF continued action through its intelligence staff, a section which would become the last remnant of the URF's centralized command, and which would create the conditions to lead to its resurgence in the Outer Colonies Crisis, an event that would lead to the full independence of the URF's member states.
