Crime of 2555

The Crime of 2555 was a series of terrorist attacks by members of the Glabetovan Resistance Organization who had survived the 2555 Glabetovan Uprising. With the GRO effectively neutralized as a fighting force, those members who had survived the counterattack and subsequent hunt for surviving GRO units, met in the frontier town of Arkney in July, just prior to the harvest season for the colony's farmlands, and laid out their plans to force the UNSC off of the planet. As the rebels knew of Glabetov's status as a breadbasket planet, they planned to destroy any and all farms they came across, regardless of whether their owners supported the GRO or not.
The action that followed led to the loss what little sympathy the population had for the GRO. The members who had initiated the plan for the operation, numbering about fifty, would venture out in groups of ten. Upon finding a farm, they would set fire to the crops, intimidating or shooting anyone who attempted to put the flames outThree firefighting fixed-wing aircraft, and four rotary-wing aircraft, were also shot down by man-portable surface-to-air missiles or RPG's.. Over the following several months, it became commonplace for units to be continuously mobilized to guard farmlands from being burnt, with some corporations hiring private security firms to protect. As autumn came to an end, with no more crops to destroy, the conspirators began attacking processing centers. Finally, during a New Year's Eve celebration among the members, stormed the residence, and killed or captured every participant. Some of those captured were tried and acquitted, on account of the fact they had simply attended the celebration, not knowing who the others at the party were, but those found to have been part of the attacks were either executed in secret or detained at .
