After years of overcrowding on Earth and the other planets in the [[Sol System]], dissident factions emerged.

In March-June [[2160]], Jovian secessionists attacked [[UN Colonial Advisors|United Nations Colonial advisers]] on the moon Io, which led to three months of fighting between the Earth military and Jovian ''Frieden'' forces. [[National Governments]] began to support their own colonies which sparked proxy wars off-planet, leading to tension and militarization on Earth. In [[2162]] armed conflict ripped through [[South America]], starting the [[Rain Forest Wars]], as [[Koslovic]], [[Frieden]], and UN forces all clashed over ideological differences, sparking additional conflicts off-planet. In December of [[2163]], the three factions clashed, this time on [[Mars]].

In December of [[2163]], the three factions clashed, this time on [[Mars]]. This was the first extraterrestrial use of [[United Nations Marine Corps|Marines]], who launched lightning raids on Koslovic positions, permanently affecting military doctrine for centuries. In [[2164]] UN forces began a massive military build-up and began the first true interplanetary war. The UNSC was bolstered by a massive propaganda campaign running on the victories on [[Mars]] and over the next six years took back the [[Sol System]] and drove the dissident factions to destruction. Now with a massive military with no enemy to fight, overpopulation, famine, and a collapsing economy, the newly unified Earth faced an uncertain future. | ||
It was not until [[2291]] that this problem was solved when researchers created the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] and gained access to [[Slipspace]]. In [[2310]] the UNSC unveiled their first line of colony ships and the best and brightest from both civilian walks of life and the military set out to form the Inner Colonies. This eased the overpopulation problem upon Earth which became the capital of the [[Unified Earth Government]], while the inner colony of [[Reach]] would later became the headquarters of the UNSC. | It was not until [[2291]] that this problem was solved when researchers created the [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] and gained access to [[Slipspace]].
