User:Spartan 112/Interplanetary Era

The Interplanetary Era is a series of articles and stories written by Spartan 112. This era takes place in a little explored conflict called the Interplanetary War. Despite the little information, this war restructured human society in the Halo universe, as it led to the rise of the United Nations Space Command and the Unified Earth Government. The stories are written from the perspectives of multiple characters, including United Nations soldiers, Frieden and Neo-Frieden militants, Koslovic rebels, and civilians caught in the crossfire. The stories explore the multiple conflicts of the war, such as the Rainforest War, Jovian Moons Campaign, and it also expands the war to new fronts.

This Project/Timeline is open for users to write their own stories. If you would like to contribute, please message me at my talk page.

United Nations
Established in 1945 to maintain international peace and promote cooperation in solving international economic, social and humanitarian problems, the United Nations rose to prominence after colonial advisors were attacked by members of the Frieden Movement in 2164. A new institution was established, the United Nations Space Command. This new institution was established to combat the Frieden Movement as well as the communist followers of revolutionary leader Vladimir Koslov.

Frieden
The National Fascist Party for Freedom and Peace, more commonly known as the The Frieden Movement, was a political party based from the Jovian Moons. The party was dedicated to the tenants of fascism and was led by Ralph Gerulf. In 2164 members of the Frieden Movement attacked United Nations colonial advisors on the moon of Io. This attack sparked the six year Interplanetary War, which reshaped human society. The Frieden Movement is sponsored by multiple corporations, most prominently those from the Unified German Republic, who felt that they would benift their business practices and end Koslovic-backed "worker crusades".

The Frieden Movement split into two, those who still backed Ralph Gerulf and those following Michael Donovan, who led the Neo-Frieden forces during the Battle of Delambre on Luna. The movement surrendered to the UNSC in 2170, and Ralph Gerulf went to be tried by the Interplanetary Court of Justice for war crimes.

Koslovics
The Koslovic Party was a Marxist-Leninist political party and rebel group that participated in open war against the Frieden Movement and the United Nations in the Interplanetary War. The Koslovics are led by Vladmir Koslov, a former member of the Russian Ground Forces who founded the political party. His military background led to many early successes against the Frieden Movement and the UNSC. The Koslovics main source of recruitment are from Martian miners and Terran factory workers.

The movement surrendered in 2170 to the UNSC following the crippling defeat at Argyre Planitia and the fall of the Koslovic capital of New Manila. Prior to his capture, Vladmir Koslov and his generals were killed in a firefight in the Battle of New Manila.
