United Nations Space Command (Infinity)

The UNSC is the single governing body over the Human race. It was formed in 2164 and has recently survived a horrific war against the Covenant.

Post War
After the Great Civil War, the UNSC had control of only thirty-five colonies. Due to the severe instability of the population, rapid actions were needed to prevent another civil war. A large amount of arms were scrapped due to desperate need for raw materials. By 2562, 50% of the non-glassed Inner Colonies had been reactivated, a total of 120 colonies, along with twelve Outer Colonies. Earth was once again the wealthy capital like it was before the 1st/2nd Battles of Earth. By 2566, 195 colonies had been restored, and the UNSC's population had gone up from approximately eleven billion to fourteen billion. The economy was doing very well and the UNSC had more than enough raw materials.

Rearnament
By 2568, a problem had slowly come up: a number rebel factions were growing due to the support of Outer Colonies survivors. They prospered the way they did because nobody was a militaristic threat to them. Two largest groups were the United Rebel Front, who was currently in control of four planets and the United Liberalists Group, who was in control of four planets, one of which had a large amount of materials for weaponry. The MA5 series and M6 series were deemed obsolete, and so began a race between Misriah Armory and New Harlem Industries. Many ship models also needed replaced, so began a mass weapons replacement project. In one year, the winning firearms had been announced. This is a list of the main weaponry used post 2569:


 * Assault Rifle - NH30 Series
 * Battle Rifle - BR55 Series
 * Sidearm/SMG - NH5
 * Sniper Rifle - SRS99 Series
 * M90 Series

A new line of ships was also in production. Reverse engineered Covenant ships resulted in many new technologies. These included a deuterium drive capable of 7.6 lightyears per day, a prototype gravity lift with a maximum elevation of fifty yards, and a prototype shielding system, along with many others. This is a list of ships used post 2571:


 * Voi-class Carrier
 * King-class Cruiser
 * San Diego Class Heavy Frigate
 * Tiger-class Reconaisance Frigate
 * Thor-class Corvette
 * Draco-class Destroyer
 * Niagara-class Troop Transport
 * Other lesser craft.

The MAC cannon's magnetic system was upgraded for the first time since 2535, changing its speed from 3% of the speed of light to 9%. Because of these efforts, the UNSC was able to expand to around 310 planets, and its Navy expanded from just fifty-four ships to 128 in 2572.

Ending the Golden Age
By 2578, the Union had control of over 350 colonies, and a population of just under 20 billion people. Mass terraforming efforts had restored numerous colonies. Its Navy was up to par, with around 100 capital ships and 150 lesser and support ships. The UNSC Marine Corps grew to seven million members. However, the United Liberalists Group was also in its own golden age. The ULG, using Guerilla tactics, captured and repaired a pair of Frigates during the Human-Covenant War, and had control of seven colonies, a few thousand footsoldiers, and seven Fenris nuclear warheads. In just a few decades, the ULG had become a threat to outer UNSC colonies.

Also during this time, the first wave of Colony ships were sent outside of the reach of the Outer Colonies, colonizing a total of four colonies. This created the Second Rim, the Outer Colonies become the First Rim, and the Inner Colonies become the Core.
