The United Nations Space Command (or UNSC) was formed by the United Nations during the [[Interplanetary War]]. After the eventual UNSC victory, overpopulation on [[Earth]] became a major issue, that had to be solved, in the early 22nd century. This issue was resolved and disaster averted by colonizing and building vast cities on other planets in the [[Orion Arm]] of the galaxy, the [[Inner Colonies]] and later the [[Outer Colonies]].

The [[UNSCDF]] is run by the [[UNSC Security Committee]], under the jurisdiction of the [[UNSC Security Council|Security Council]] and is Earth's main military force, most recently fighting the Covenant. The [[Navy]] houses the divisions of [[UNSC Marines]] (including the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers), [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] (ONI), and the [[Fleet]]. Originally designed to keep the peace between neighboring planets and star systems, when certain rebellious factions began to rise in the late [[2510]]s, the UNSC was forced to police its colonies tirelessly to keep privateers and pirates from raiding the colonies and any UNSC ships.
