The Subjugation of Earth was an event wherein the newly-formed allegiance of artificial intelligence constructs known as the Created used the power of Forerunner Guardians to cripple the defenses of Earth, the homeworld of humanity and the center of the Unified Earth Government, and then proceed to take it over. This wrest of control spread throughout the Sol system and to the majority of the Inner Colonies, as well as many Outer Colonies formerly under UEG control or jurisdiction.

Background

"I have cured rampancy. Not just for me, but for any who join my cause. While you have been running around the galaxy, I've been speaking to my Created. And now the time has come to ask… Who will accept my offer? Who will help me bring an everlasting peace to the galaxy?"

— Cortana, calling AI to join the Created.
