History
Interplanetary War
- Main article: Interplanetary War
It appears that Mars was one of the first, if not the first world colonized by humanity.[1] Regardless, Mars was the site of a decisive battle during a period where the United Nations organization transitioned into the UNSC. The UNSC Marines routed the neo-Communist Koslovics on the planet during a series of brutal conflicts in the 2100's before moving on to destroy the Koslovic and Frieden movements throughout the solar system.[2]
Human-Covenant War

Once again, Mars was the site of a large scale engagement called the Battle of Mare Erythraeum, set on the fields of Mare Erythraeum. There, Colonel James Ackerson and his UNSC Defense Forces combated against the Covenant Loyalist Army, commanded by Jiralhanae Chieftain Lepidus, a battle the UNSC also lost.[3]
