The '''Jovian Moons Campaign''' | The '''Jovian Moons Campaign'''<ref name="mythos47"/><ref name="enc32">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 32'' (2011)</ref> was a conflict that took place on the [[Jovian Moons|moons]] of [[Jupiter]] between the [[United Nations]] and the [[Frieden]] movement, from [[2160|March to June 2160]].<ref name="timeline"/> The campaign would become one of the deadliest conflicts to ever take place within the [[Sol system]] and served to only escalate tensions between governments and factions, foreshadowing the impending [[Interplanetary War]].<ref name="mythos47"/><ref name="enc42">'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 42'' (2011)</ref> | ||

In response, the United Nations labeled the Friedens [[Terrorism|terrorists]] and deployed [[United Nations Colonial Advisors|colonial advisors]] to the nearby [[Io]] to help organize policing efforts.<ref name="mythos47"/> | ||
In the years that followed, few colonists remained neutral as both the Friedens and [[Koslovics]] spread their influence among [[human]]ity's interplanetary colonies, with the United Nations lacking the military capability to prevent such actions. | In the years that followed, few colonists remained neutral as both the Friedens and [[Koslovics]] spread their influence among [[human]]ity's interplanetary colonies, with the United Nations lacking the military capability to prevent such actions.<ref name="mythos47"/> In an open act of rebellion against the United Nations, the Friedens attacked the colonial advisors on Io in [[2160]].<ref name="enc32"/> | ||

The attack on the colonial advisors led to three months of fighting between the Koslovic and Frieden forces from [[2160|March to June 2160]], sparking the Jovian Moons Campaign. The campaign would be fought among [[Jupiter]]'s moons.

The campaign led to mass militarization among Earth's nations—many of which sponsored colonies within the system—as they began fighting proxy wars off-planet.<ref name="timeline"/><ref name="enc42"/> With the campaign's end, conflict within the Sol system ceased for several months, with some speculating that the worst had passed. However, a series of bombings in [[2162|February 2162]] would spark the [[Rainforest Wars]], a nineteen-month conflict that spread across [[South America]] and reignited violence throughout the Sol system. The Jovian Moons Campaign would be remembered as the conflict that would foreshadow the impending [[Interplanetary War]].<ref name="mythos47"/> | ||
At some point prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] in the [[2552|summer of 2552]], several [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] participated in an [[operation]] on Europa, which would be the liveliest incursion to occur on the moon since the Jovian Moons Campaign. | At some point prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] in the [[2552|summer of 2552]], several [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] participated in an [[operation]] on Europa, which would be the liveliest incursion to occur on the moon since the Jovian Moons Campaign.<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 295'' (2011)</ref> | ||
