Plot:
Among these lay the world of Arnhem, once a peaceful home to over half a billion inhabitants, the planet was visited by death and destruction following the arrival of the Insurrection in the late twenty-four hundreds, and once again after a Covenant task force translated in system with thousands of infantry and over a dozen warships. However, life went on, rubble was rebuilt, and it seemed that violence had left the colony, a false hope. Only two and a half decades following the end of the most devastating even in the history of the species.
Yet this was different, the rebel organizations that coalesced on Arnhem were a new breed, much more radical and heartless varieties of anti-UN groups. Within the course of half a decade, over one hundred thousand civilians were massacred during operations of both UN and insurgent forces. As morale plummeted and support of the UN campaign became all but non-existent, newly established paramilitary forces began to offer vigilante justice to a population that wished to end the fighting. Within weeks a three-way contest emerged as the UN officially declared vigilantes hostile to their intentions.
Following a series of fluke discoveries and an aggressive investigation, over a dozen companies were connected with rebel forces on Arnhem. An emergency session of the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly resulted with numerous trade sanctions and effectively ripped over sixty major interplanetary corporations from the colony, stalling the stagnant economy of Arnhem and effectively destroying any hope of a sense of normalcy for its inhabitants. The colonial government’s worst fear was realized as they helplessly stood by during the collapse of its economic infrastructure, unemployment rose in accordance with rebel and vigilante numbers.
In an effort to preserve what remained of its former glory, the colonial government made an unprecedented move, it succeeded from the UN in late2583. The Arnhem Federation was founded, declaring the UN lacked the authority to intervene in local affairs and subsequently threw its militia into the conflict, managing to secure victories at two major battles, and forcing UNSC soldiers to retreat and evacuate. After days of intense discussion on the Assembly floor, it was decided that Arnhem would be taken by force and the UNSC would be granted anything necessary to achieve success.
On November 29th UNSC forces landed near the capital city of Antwerp, and despite being pushed back over six hundred kilometers, took the Adatt Peninsula and established a ‘beachhead’ for further operations. Marine and Army forces advanced outward over 150 kilometers by the end of 2583, yet having only secured a relatively small portion of the central continent of Arnhem. UNSC HIGHCOMM authorized the activation and deployment of thousands of special forces operators to the Arnhem Theater, further reinforcing the 6th Marine Expeditionary Force.
