The '''Jovian Moons Campaign'''{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}{{Ref/Book|Id=enc32|Enc11|Page=32}} was a conflict that took place on the [[Jovian Moons|moons]] of [[Jupiter]] between the [[United Nations]] and the [[Frieden]] movement, from [[2160|March to June 2160]].{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} The campaign would become one of the deadliest conflicts to ever take place within the [[Sol system]] and served to only escalate tensions between governments and factions, foreshadowing the impending [[Interplanetary War]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}{{Ref/Book|Id=enc42|Enc11|Section=Chapter Two: Humans - Human Colonization of Space|Page=42}}


==Timeline==
==Background==
In [[2158]], the [[Frieden]] movement was established in [[Katreus]], a major city on [[Europa]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}} Largely backed by a group of corporate interests of the [[Unified German Republic]], the Friedens sought independence from the administration of the [[United Nations]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}}{{Ref/Site|Id=hw timeline|D=01|M=6|Y=2017|URL=http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Timeline.aspx|Site=Official Halo Wars Community Site|Page=Timeline|Detail=(Defunct, Copy on [[Archive:Halowars.com/Timeline|Halopedia]])}} The movement quickly escalated towards violence when the Friedens leveled an embassy in [[Thynia]] with military-grade explosives. In response, the United Nations labelled the Friedens [[Terrorism|terrorists]] and deployed [[United Nations Colonial Advisors|colonial advisors]] to the nearby [[Io]] to help organize policing efforts.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}


===March-June, 2160===
In the years that followed, few colonists remained neutral as both the Friedens and [[Koslovics]] spread their influence among [[human]]ity's interplanetary colonies, with the United Nations lacking the military capability to prevent such actions.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}} In an open act of rebellion against the United Nations, the Friedens attacked the colonial advisors on Io in [[2160]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc32}}
The Jovian Moons Campaign began due to Jovian secessionist attacks on [[UN Colonial Advisors]] on the moon [[Io]] (The hottest moon of Jovian). This led to three months of fighting between the [[United Nations|United Nations]] and Jovian "[[Frieden]]" forces. Though this was not the first armed conflict in our [[Solar System]], it was easily one of the bloodiest, and is generally considered to be the spark of increased friction and militarization that followed.  


The Jovian Moons Campaign escalated tensions, as [[Earth]]s [[National Governments]]-many of which sponsored colonies within the system-began fighting proxy wars off-planet. As these proxy wars continued, tensions on Earth mounted, leading to a number of armed conflicts on Earth itself, such as [[The Rain Forest Wars]].
==War==
The attack on the colonial advisors led to three months of fighting between the Koslovic and Frieden forces from [[2160|March to June 2160]], sparking the Jovian Moons Campaign. The campaign would be fought among [[Jupiter]]'s moons. The United Nations attempted to pacify the situation, but with no success.{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} To strengthen their efforts, the United Nations called upon [[national government]]s of Earth to utilize their own militaries and aid in the campaign. The distributed nature of their forces led to disorder among the ranks of the Earth militaries.{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}} The death toll among all sides was substantial.{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}
 
==Aftermath==
The Jovian Moons Campaign was one of the bloodiest conflicts that has ever taken place within the [[Sol system]].{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} The conflict served to strengthen the anti-government and anti-corporate sentiment growing among colonists. The campaign led to mass militarization among Earth's nations—many of which sponsored colonies within the system—as they began fighting proxy wars off-planet.{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}}{{Ref/Reuse|enc42}} With the campaign's end, conflict within the Sol system ceased for several months, with some speculating that the worst had passed. However, a series of bombings in [[2162|February 2162]] would spark the [[Rainforest Wars]], a nineteen-month conflict that spread across [[South America]] and reignited violence throughout the Sol system. The Jovian Moons Campaign would be remembered as the conflict that would foreshadow the impending [[Interplanetary War]].{{Ref/Reuse|mythos47}}
 
At some point prior to the [[Fall of Reach]] in the [[2552|summer of 2552]], several [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] participated in an [[operation]] on Europa, which would be the liveliest incursion to occur on the moon since the Jovian Moons Campaign.{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=295}}
