Hey is the ship list up to date? What about that new ship Spirit of Fire--JohnSpartan117 01:44, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes. it has already been added. -ED 01:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I assume it says "?" because youre not sure if its a cruiser or carrier, could that be noted? Perhaps put it in both Cruiser and Carrier with a "?"--JohnSpartan117 02:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it would be nice for all the planets to have the date they were attacked/ glassed with the name. - Spartan 1138 12:48, 2 December 2006

I think there should be the types of UNSC merines and naval personel(example: sargent, specialist, armored, etc.).--prophit of war 19:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

if you mean ranks, I disagree. Rank links will clutter up the page. -ED 00:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The UNSC and the Colonial Administration Authority

so weird

The CAA

Halopedia has an entry on the Colonial Administration Authority, which is vaguely described as the effective civilian leadership of the human race for much of the Halo timeline. However, this otherwise excellent article claims the UNSC instead is not only the defense apparatus, but the whole government instead. If it's been asked before, here it is again: Which is the case? If the CAA is indeed the source of governmental power on Earth beyond this vague discrepancy, is it then safe to edit the UNSC page appropriately?

Lo-Volt 08:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd say that the CAA is the civilian government, and the part about the UNSC being the human government is just an artifact from before we noticed TFoR talking about it. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 21:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Agree. -ED 01:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

During the events of Halo 2 and 3, Earth is under an emergency military government, which would be the UNSC. 168.169.115.94 14:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

This seems pretty simple to me:

UEG: United Earth Government: this is the civilian government for Earth

CAA: This is a single name for various civilian colonial governments throughout human territory

UN/UNSC: The top-level government for all human worlds, and the seat of military power.

It's like the difference between Federal, State, County and Local governments now. --Caathrok

Change in marine armor

Can anyone think of any ideas why the marines armor cganged in halo2 And how they were able to give all the marines new armor that fast? mendoza

They probably worked on it through Halo: CE and gave it when it was needed.--Haloman117 03:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

they probaly finised it while the story was focused away from Earth,like in halo 1 or first strike,are all the new weapons and armour was given to the troops at Earth Voy101

Well, the pillar of autumn, which was at least 20-25 years old, was probably stocked with older weapons and equiptment, like armor.

EXAMPLE: in Halo: Contact Harvest there are hornets, battle rifles, and other things such a brutes and engineers. and yet, Halo CE happens way after that and there is no BRs, No Hornets, And no Brutes.

Does that help at all? Contrarytoreason 22:44, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

UNSC = American controlled Universe.

Think about it. The awards, the language, the Mexican immigrants, the UNSC universe is an American controlled universe. KillerCRS 03:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I seriously doubt it. Like, really doubt it. Not only does it say in Halo: Contact Harvest that the USA exists in name only, but the UN/UEG is a unified force of ALL of Earth (it clearly says in the book that the UN's old system of nation-states collapsed). So no, unfortunately, the USA isn't the leading power in the Halo universe---I am almost certain the US lost its superpower status in the late 21st century and degraded to a "great power" until in 2160-2200 when the UN united Earth. or, it was no longer the sole superpower of the world and was challenged by dozens of other rising powers.

Either way, the UNSC is NOT American-controlled. It is controlled by the United Earth Government. There is 0% evidence that the UNSC is controlled by a single nation---although yes, the Marine Corps use American slang and other culture stuff---but there are other cultural influences as well from other nations, further rendering your idea of a UNSC-American controlled force obsolete. -LiquidNazgul

Yeah, essesntially. Bungie is American, and it's natural bias to assume that yours is the best civilization and the one of the future. When I'm writing fanfic, I sometimes have to remind myself of that fact so I don't write about a utopian fantasy instead of present-day America with a new name. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 05:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

That is just because it was easier for them to make it that way, as the developers and writers are mostly American. It's one of the game's criticisms. -ED 22:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

American? i seem to remember a certain Chips Dubbo, a loveable Australian marine. i remember that there are guys who sound like they're canadian (not sure), and i remember that Lord, ie; Lord Hood, is a title granted only by a Monarchy. American? well, yeah, but theres HEAPS of other, subtler references in there too. -- SpecOps306 01:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the UNSC is a United Nations controlled government in 2552.--Grievous797 19:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

But who's the most powerful nation in the UN? That's right; I'm going there. :P (no offense) g^ue_st^y-p_er^so_ny-^th_in^gy 03:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The accents and faces are easy to appear as though they were from many nations but the culture, slang, and behavior of the Marines is decidably American. -ED 00:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I want to point out that the UN,which is what created the UNSC,is in New York,which is in the U.S. if you knw anything Voy101

While the UN building is in New York, the land that it actually resides on is International Territory, much like the middle of oceans and Antarctica. US law enforcement agencies have no authority there. Only UN security forces do.Edmonton guy 20:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Bungie does use effort to use a variety of races though. I noticed in Halo:CE some Asians, but they were only crew and not Marines, haha. I guess that kinda makes sense? (No offense, cuz I'm Asian myself, haha.) Okay okay but really, I guess maybe I'm just saying that certain nations in the UNSC would focus less on military contributions and more in other things (like thethe MJOLNIR Mark VI from Songnam).

The UNSC doesn't have nations. At least not on Earth anymore. This is confirmed in Halo: Contact Harvest.

UNSC Army

What about the UNSC Army? i think there should be a section for them. i'm sure there was one at one time, but it's probably been reverted by someone who hasnt got the...uh...time to check it out properly. I'm linking it. -- SpecOps306 03:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow, it's back! that was fast! -- SpecOps306 03:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

The UNSC Army has only ever been mentioned once, so there's not a lot to say about it. -ED 01:00, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

language

The most spoken language is Chiness.It have more than 1 billion of persones that speak this language today, I think they will be more in 2552. (about 1/6 of the total population.) Chief frank 001 19:15, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah but currently they're all learning English too, haha...

UNSC Df?

i have a question what dose DF mean at the end? defence force? Fleet? What is it?

It stands for Defense Force. (CommanderTony 03:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC))

colonies

how many colonies are there, contact harvest says 17 before the war-Croix129

the "17" is a discrepancy (and a HUGE ONE) on the part of the author of Contact Harvest. By the year 2390, there were 210 Inner Colonies in various stages of terraforming. Harvest is Colonised in 2468, the Spirit of Fire is constructed as a colony ship in 2473 (the ship from Halo Wars). My assumption here is that Harvest is one of the First Outer Colonies (since it remains the farthest planet from earth even after continous human expansion). By 2490, there were over 800 Human Colonies (and growing) throughout the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. The Covenant arrives @ Harvest in 2525 --Caathrok

Yeah probably just a huge discrepancy. Or a major one if I was referring to specific ones (like Outer or Inner)...or a minor one referring to the major colonies (idk like...Harvest or Reach).

UNSCDF template?

What about a template at the bottom of the Army, Marine and Navy articles, with the other branches, under the UNSC? File:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 07:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

UEG?

My Halo 1 manual mentions that the Warthog is the standard vehicle of the UEG instead of UNSC. is this a typo, or a legitimate organisation? File:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 08:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Or the United Earth Government? File:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]] Kora ‘Morhekee The Battle-Net My Conquests. 19:39, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Mine has UNSC in it,but you could be talking about the Xbox version,i got the PC version Voy101

The Halo pc manual says unsc so i asume that it is a typo though i cant be shure as i dont have an Xbox version of the original game. User:Sir aaron

it is possible it stands for united earth government User:Sir aaron

Sol System

wheres the rest of the planets in are system?don't you think that the UNSC would hold those too? Voy101

Thing is, we don't know for sure if the other planets were even colonized. For instance, we've never heard of Venus being occupied by the UNSC. --UNSC Trooper File:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] ^Talk_{My Work} 15:08, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Mars is colonized. It has been referred to several times. However, I do not know about the other planets, although I'm going to assume that most of them have at least some settlements on either the main body, their moons, or both. It just doesn't make sense for us to have started settlements hundreds of light years from the sun without first colonizing terrestrial bodies in our own solar system. Edmonton guy 20:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I've read and heard that Mars is colonized,and at least Io has something on it,but i'm wondering about the other planets and moons Voy101

about three of the planets in our solar system are gas giants so there off the table.moons of saturn and jupiter like europa and titan would be terraformable. then again how did they get terraform tech they dont seem advanced enough to do so. DeadReanimation 20:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Moons and small planetoids are habitable, but don't write off gas giants just yet. Tobias Buckell has written some (from what I've heard) quite excellent steampunk science fiction about colonists inhabiting the upper atmosphere of a gas giant. As for terraforming "equipment", I don't think its actually a "pump in read-made atmosphere, plant a few forests, and voila" kind of process. At first, it would be more using the most advanced technology to slowly get the environment to only a harsh state, where life for the simplest organisms is difficult, but not impossible. Afterward, genetically engineered bacteria would be introduced to further modify the planetary environment; then plants, to produce a breathable atmosphere; then animals to support the ecosystem; and then, finally, full colonisation. The process would be a multigenerational one, spanning decades, if not centuries. By 2552, the process might still be ongoing. We know from Contact Harvest that the UNSC chooses planets that are already able to support lifeforms, cutting the tim
