==Prelude==
==Background==
In [[2158]], the [[Frieden]] movement was established in [[Katreus]], a major city on [[Europa]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}} Largely backed by a group of corporate interests of the [[Unified German Republic]], the Friedens sought independence from the administration of the [[United Nations]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}}<ref name="hw timeline">[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Timeline.aspx ''Official Halo Wars Community Site'': Timeline] (defunct, [[Archive:Halowars.com/Timeline|Archived]])</ref> The movement quickly escalated towards violence when the Friedens leveled an embassy in [[Thynia]] with military-grade explosives. 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/Reuse|mythos47}}

In response, the United Nations labelled the Friedens [[Terrorism|terrorists]] and deployed [[United Nations Colonial Advisors|colonial advisors]] to the nearby [[Io]] to help organize policing efforts.{{Ref/Reuse|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.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}} In an open act of rebellion against the United Nations, the Friedens attacked the colonial advisors on Io in [[2160]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc32}}

==The campaign==
==War==
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 United Nations attempted to pacify the situation, but with no success.{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} To strengthen their efforts, the United Nations called upon [[national government]]s of Earth to utilize their own militaries and aid in the campaign. The distributed nature of their forces led to disorder amongst the ranks of the Earth militaries.{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}} The death toll among all sides was substantial.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}

==Aftermath==
==Aftermath==
The Jovian Moons Campaign was one of the bloodiest conflicts that has ever taken place within the [[Sol system]].{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} The conflict served to strengthen the anti-government and anti-corporate sentiment growing among colonists. 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/Reuse|timeline}}{{Ref/Reuse|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/Reuse|mythos47}}
