Jovian Moons Campaign

Military Forces

The Jovians had a sizable force that was big enough to keep the UNSC, which was 5,000 strong at that point, out of their territory until the UNSC bombed the planet. The jovian force was A reconizable force because of the guerrilla warfare they used so well against the UNSC they had engineer's and marines that thought the UNSC was a load of crap so they diverted to the Jovian force. So they had those weapons plus warthogs and heavy machine guns and rocket pods and BR's and Assault Rifles and magnum's and 20 scorpions they had distributed all around the moon's underground bases.

Timeline

March-June, 2160

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 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 Earths 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.
