[[Earth]]'s [[national government]]s had established joint efforts to colonize the moons, along with several other bodies in the Sol system, by [[2080]].<ref>'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 47''</ref> In the mid-22nd century, before the formation of the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]], unrest began brewing on the moons as various [[Unified German Republic]] corporations based there became targets for attacks perpetrated by neo-[[Communism|communist]] [[Koslovics]]. As a result of an increasing anti-Koslovic sentiment, a resurgent [[Fascism|fascist]] movement known as the [[Frieden]] arose on the Jovian Moons.
