In the 2490s, with over 800 settled worlds across the [[Orion Arm]] of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy, humanity's "Golden Age" of expansion was coming to an end. Gradually, the Outer Colonies had became more isolated and unstable. Their populations had widely varying loyalties to Earth, and taxes and trade restrictions set up by the UEG's colonial governing agencies caused dissent against the Earth government. This eventually led to the [[Insurrection]], an undeclared civil war between the UNSC and the various [[Insurrectionist|rebel groups]] that rose up against it in the Outer Colonies. | In the 2490s, with over 800 settled worlds across the [[Orion Arm]] of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy, humanity's "Golden Age" of expansion was coming to an end.
