The United Nations Space Command is the military and exploratory branch of the United Earth Government. Formed in the 22nd Century, it clashed with communist and facist forces on behalf of the United Nations in a conflict known as the. In the 26th century, the UNSC fought both the insurrection and the

Interplanetary War
The UNSC was an emergency government formed at the beginning of the interplanetary war, and it clashed with both the Koslovic and Freidan movements on the Jovian Moons, Mars and Rainforests in South America. In addition to that, the UNSC carried out a series of purges within the, arresting and executing several prominent businessmen that favored the Freidan movements.

Late 22nd Century
After the Interplanetary War, the UNSC had a massive military, but no one to fight. Since maintaining the large military caused a large strain on the UNSC's resources, the majority of the military was decommissioned, leading to massive unemployment. In addition to that, Earth was starting to get incredibly overpopulated, with a population of 15 billion.

This was counter-balanced, however, by the latest colonization efforts on both Mars and the Jovian Moons. As the 23rd century dawned, things began to look up for humanity.

23rd-24th Centuries: Humanity's Golden Age
In the early 23rd Century, a new invention changed humanity forever. The. The Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine allowed human spaceships to enter slipspace, allowing for faster-than light travel. Other star systems, which previously took centuries to reach now took a matter of weeks.

Many star systems were explored, sometimes leading to colonization in systems such as, and Gliese-Jahreiss 1061. Humanity enjoyed nearly two centuries of uninterrupted peace.

The UNSC Exploration Fleet was at the forefront of colonization effort, exploring and mapping out star systems, which were sometimes colonized by the . One of the major goals of the UNSC Exploration Fleet was to find alien lifeforms. While many samples of non-sentient alien lifeforms were found, no sentient aliens were found.

Early Riots
However, the peace was not to last. In the middle of the 25th century, several of the earlier colonies began to request independence, most notably, in which riots turned extremely bloody, leading to battles in the streets between rioters and police forces. While police were able to quell riots on some worlds, other ones grew extremely violent.

On Paris IV, some local police forces even joined forces with the rioters, attacking Colonial Authority offices. UNSC Army units on Paris IV were ordered to restore order. | Martial law was declared in several cities, and in one case rioters opened fire on UNSC troops with firearms, leading to brief firefights between the army and the rioters.

The reason for the riots were simple: Having been allowed to grow on its own for so long, many colonies began to develop their own cultures. They began to see Earth as noting but a faceless entity that taxed them for things they reaped no obvious benefit from.

Public Opinion
Public opinion of the UNSC remains extremely mixed. While public support for the UNSC as a military organization is high, due to its victory over the Covenant in the Human-Covenant War, it is seen as fascist and/or highly authoritarian by a significant part of the population.
