Sapien Restoration Army

The Sapien Resistance Army was an extremist splinter group of the Human supremacist group . Formed in 2561 by a group of former on the recently -reclaimed planet of , the group believed that Sapien Sunrise's policy of simply not allying with Covenant client races was simply not enough, and instead believed that complete eradication or subjugation of them was the only solution. 
Initially beginning with alien races on Venezia, the group soon had cells on most of the , and even some personnel who had been smuggled onto the planet of by , and continued to grow in strength by absorbing fighters from dissolved rebel groups who were looking for a way to stay hidden from the UNSC.
The scale and brutality of the group's actions shocked the galaxy, and even caused Sapien Sunrise to publicly denounce them as a group of 'psychopaths and murderers', though privately it aided them through funding for weapons and travel.

The Sapien Resistance Army's main goal was the complete eradication or subjugation of those races which had previously made up the , though the were earmarked for nothing less than total destruction. Beginning on , the group would launch surprise nighttime attacks on alien settlements, cutting down any they could find, and mercilessly hunting down and brutally torturing and executing any who attempted to escape. The intentions of these operations was to strike such fear into alien populations that they would return to their homeworlds and stay there, and in some cases, such as planets like Venezia, where local UNSC military authorities initially turned a blind eye to the attacks, they were successful. As the group grew in reach and power, these random attacks turned into coordinated strikes across multiple planets, with sometimes over a hundred occurring within the span of several hours. 
In , now on Sangheilios, the group enacted its most horrific tactic yet: the use of and other high-casualty weapons in lone-wolf attacks on heavily populated areas on those planets populated exclusively with former Covenant species. As the Sangheili and other former Covenant races were on the brink of going to war with humanity once more due to the latter's seemingly turning a blind eye to SRA attacks, the UNSC began actively hunting down and destroying SRA cells, in an operation that took a total of seven years before being considered complete. By the time the SRA was considered no longer a threat, several million of alien beings had been exterminated, though some estimates place the number at nearly a billion, mainly through their attacks on Sangheilios and planets of the like.
