	The first Tauron Civil war began when the poorly armed native rebel forces known as the [[Ha'la'tha]] attacked the presidential quarters, rising up against the government. The government fought the rebellion with the military force known as the [[Heracleides]] (Heracs) {{CAP\|Pilot (Caprica)\|The Dirteaters}}.		The first Tauron Civil war began when the poorly armed native rebel forces known as the [[Ha'la'tha]] attacked the presidential quarters, rising up against the government. The government fought the rebellion with the military force known as the [[Heracleides]] (Heracs) {{CAP\|Pilot (Caprica)\|The Dirteaters}}.

	Referring to their Ha'la'tha enemies as "[[Dirt eater\|dirt eaters]]," Herac forces used harsh measures to quell the uprising, including torture and murder. Members of the Ha'la'tha resistance carried poison tablets, allowing them to kill themselves if captured by the Heracleides.		Referring to their Ha'la'tha enemies as "[[Dirt eater\|dirt eaters]]," Herac forces used harsh measures to quell the uprising, including torture and murder. Members of the Ha'la'tha resistance carried poison tablets, allowing them to kill themselves if captured by the Heracleides.

	[[William Adama Sr.\|William]] and [[Isabelle Adama]] were members of the Ha'la'tha resistance, participating in attacks against the oppressing government, including blowing up Herac grain silos. Following the murder of a Heracleides soldier near the Adama home, Lieutenant [[Kolibri]] and two Herac soldiers questioned William and Isabelle as possible suspects. Discovering the dead soldier's gun in their apartment (hidden by a young [[Sam Adama\|Samuel Adama]]), the Heracs murdered Isabelle and tortured William, forcing him to reveal the names of fellow Ha'la'tha. The incident ended when [[Joseph Adama]] - then a young boy - shot and killed the two Herac soldiers and wounded Kolibri, before turning the weapon on his own father at his request, so he would not reveal anything else.

	In the aftermath of the uprising, the victorious Heracleides forces attempted a genocide against the Tauron natives. Facing extinction, the Ha'la'tha fled the planet and funded themselves through criminal activities, becoming an illegal crime syndicate found throughout the Twelve Colonies {{CAP\|The Dirteaters}}.

	Tauron natives living on other colonies including members of the Adama family then living on Caprica donated portions of their income to aid the resistance. Still, despite its mirroring of the first uprising, members of the Ha'la'tha on Caprica run by the [[Guatrau]] refused to send aid {{CAP\|False Labor}}.

	In direct defiance of the Guatrau, Joseph and Samuel Adama used their positions within the Ha'la'tha to smuggle [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit]] battle [[robot]]s to Tauron from [[Graystone Industries]] on Caprica. Witnessing the power of the prototypical [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylons]], the Adama brothers believed the robots could have a major influence over the outcome of the rebellion {{CAP\|The Heavens Will Rise\|Here Be Dragons}}.

	Despite its involvement in propping up the Tauron government, the Caprican government and Minister of Defense [[Sasha Patel]] had not been asked to send peacekeeping troops to the colony. A massive arms shipment from [[Sagittaron]] bound for rebel forces was seized by Tauron authorities, leading Caprican officials to believe that the insurgents would be defeated {{CAP\|The Dirteaters}}.
