At some point in the 22nd century, the [[Houses of Parliament]] in the United Kingdom (a member of the European Union) were severely damaged in a domestic terrorist attack. At some other point following this attack, [[Russia]] gained control over the UK, which at that point ceased to be a member of the EU and instead became subservient to that nation. During the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]] in [[2160]], and again throughout the [[Interplanetary War]] ([[2164]]-[[2170]]), the [[Frieden]] movement was supported by corporations headquartered in the [[Unified German Republic]], since they were often targets of [[Koslovic]]-affiliated "workers' crusades" and much of the Frieden-controlled territory included German colonies. At the end of that war, [[Unified Earth Government]] became a full-fledged governing entity, which then gained full autonomy and authority over Earth and her colonies in 2204. As a geopolitical entity on Earth, the European Union has been directly subordinate to the [[United Nations]] ever since. When the war with the Covenant began, the [[United Nations Space Command]] took over all governmental affairs, both on Earth and throughout human-occupied space. Over the course of the war, [[Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme]], a corporation based in Essen, [[Unified German Republic]], was responsible for developing multiple variants of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]], including the [[CQB-class Mjolnir|CQB]], [[CQC-class Mjolnir|CQC]], and [[JFO-class Mjolnir|JFO-class]] variants. Following the end of the decades-long conflict, Beweglichkeitsrüstungsysteme continued its work, creating [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Technician|Technician]]<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-conventional-warfare '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Conventional Warfare'']</ref> and [[FREEBOOTER-class Mjolnir|Freebooter]] variants of the [[MJOLNIR|MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] and the [[Visor color|Rampart VISR]], for the GEN2 platform. On October 28th, [[2558]], a [[Guardian]] arrived at Earth under the direction of [[Cortana]] and swiftly proceeded to knock out all communications and power across the planet with an enormous electromagnetic pulse. The European Union was not spared and fell under her sway along with every other nation-state and political subdivision on the planet, not to mention those on many other human colonies as well. | At some point in the 22nd century, the [[Houses of Parliament]] in the United Kingdom (a member of the European Union) were severely damaged in a domestic terrorist attack.
