The Jovian Moons Campaign was a conflict that took place on the Jovian Moons between the United Nations and the Frieden movement in March-June 2160.[1][2]
History
The Jovian Moons Campaign began due to Jovian secessionist attacks on United Nations Colonial Advisers on the moon Io. 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 end of the campaign.
The Jovian Moons Campaign escalated tensions, as Earth's National Governments, many of whom 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[3]
