The UNSC has moved to reclaim those worlds that were abandoned due to Covenant attacks during the Human-Covenant War. By [[2589]], the former human stronghold of [[Reach]] had been restored and resettled by the UNSC.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Lone Wolf (Halo: Reach level)|Lone Wolf]]''</ref> The UNSC also maintains its earlier truce with the members of the [[Covenant Separatists]]. | ||

By [[2468]], the outermost colony was Harvest, at eleven light years from Earth - later, colonies were founded well beyond in the Outer Colonies. The furthest known UNSC colony is [[Beta Centauri]], at 525 light years away.<ref name="Reach"/> Colonies may have been settled after Harvest, or founded during the Human-Covenant War. | ||
The UNSC's galactic territories were greatly reduced by the [[Covenant]] during the Human-Covenant War, with only Earth and a few scattered colonies left mostly intact by the end of the War in 2552.

Since the end of the conflict, the UNSC is working to restore its galactic territories and has even recolonized some of its lost worlds. | ||

The UNSC's pre-[[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] and wartime policies are widely accepted with hostility among the civilian populace, especially within rebel movements. Starting with the implementation of the [[Cole Protocol]] and martial law, the UNSC's political takeover of the [[UEG]] and [[CMA]] branches and its generally authoritarian military policies championed over the course of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC's public image has been stained by rebel and civilian allegations of [[fascism]], totalitarianism and oppression.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page ??''</ref> However, these claims are unsubstantiated, as there are no comprehensive indications into the UNSC's structure that could suggest it following a totalitarian, state corporatist and social interventionist political system. | |||
These allegations are not completely baseless, however, considering most of this perceived UNSC-directed oppression lies with poor administration in the [[Outer Colonies]], which has led to violent [[Scyllion Warehouse District Riot|food riots]] perpetrated by proto-rebellious groups of dissatisfied colonial workers suffering from hunger and poverty at the hands of corporate planetary control.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''pages 106-107''</ref> | |||
