Unggoy Liberation Movement

The Unggoy Liberation Movement was a widespread resistance movement against the Covenant Empire that rose in the midst of the Human-Covenant War and was mounted by large numbers of Unggoy hoping to escape from their position as the lowest-regarded members of Covenant society. Though not the first Unggoy group to attempt an uprising, they were among the most successful, resorting to the distinctly human tactic of terrorism in order to advance their goals. These tactics were a cause for much consternation amongst the Sangheili officials tasked with putting down the rebellion, as they hadn't considered the Unggoy intelligent enough for such deliberate attacks. These attacks actually had some slight impact on the Covenant's war efforts against humanity and were later credited for slowing several planned offensives against human colonies. However, the Covenant's response to the uprising was brutal and millions of Unggoy died in reprisals that claimed the lives of both rebels and innocent bystanders alike. In spite of the ruthless opposition, the movement managed to survive the war and continued to grow well after it. Additionally, the cult of the Questioning Demon had its origins within the movement.
