The '''Interplanetary War''' was a large [[war]] among the [[United Nations]], the [[Communism|neo-communist]] [[Koslovics]], led by [[Vladimir Koslov]]; the [[Fascism|fascist]] [[Frieden]], backed by corporations of the [[Unified German Republic]]; and a number of other [[national government]]s that was waged throughout the [[Sol system]]. It was the culmination of four prior years of war, which included the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]], the [[~~Rain Forest~~ Wars]], and the [[Argyre Planitia Campaign]].<ref name="HE33">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 33''</ref>

===Aftermath===

The [[Unified Earth Government]] was ~~formed~~ by the UN immediately in the wake of the conflicts in 2170. After the conflict, the UNSC were forced to deal with a less obvious but equally serious threat: overpopulation and a massive military that has no enemy to fight. In the post-war period, there were massive population surges and the overpopulation that, coupled with the destruction and famine bred by the Rain Forest Wars, threatened to destabilize the interplanetary economy.<ref name="HE33"/>
