Military Forces involved are completely unknown, except for the two factions involved, who were the United Nations and the Frieden.

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 Jupiter)[1]. This led to three months of fighting between 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[2].
