The '''Argyre Planitia Campaign''' was a military campaign undertaken by [[UN]] forces against human rebel forces on planet [[Mars]].

== Military Forces ==
 
Military forces are unknown at this time, with the exception that the United Nations deployed a large number of star ships and [[Marines]].
 
== Timeline ==


December [[2163]]: In a conflict that stemmed from [[The Rain Forest Wars]], the three primary [[Earth]] factions clash again, this time on Mars. A series of lightning strikes against [[Koslovic]] forces near the Argyre Planitia marks the first extra-terrestrial deployment of Marines. The campaign is an unqualified success. As a result, future military doctrines will favor large contingents of Marines for ground assaults and ship-boarding actions.  
== Background ==
In a conflict that stemmed from the [[Rainforest Wars]], the three primary [[Earth]] factions clashed again, this time on Mars.{{Ref/Reuse|HE33}} Attempting to bring the [[Human colonies#Interplanetary era|human worlds]] under a [[communism|communist]] state, the [[Koslovics|Koslovic]] rebels sought to take control of the plentiful corporate production facilities on Mars. In particular, the Koslovics concentrated their occupation to the shipbuilding facilities on the [[Argyre Planitia]]. The newly-established United Nations Space Command, created by the UN to combat the increasing threat posed by the rebel factions, responded with a series of lightning strikes on the Koslovic positions, deploying the newly-created [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] in the first extraterrestrial marine deployment—a tactic which would define military doctrine for centuries. The campaign was an unquestionable success. As a result, future military doctrine favored large contingents of Marines for ground assaults and ship-boarding actions.{{Ref/Reuse|HE33}}
