Mankind’s central military authority, the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) originated during the 22nd century’s Interplanetary War as the military arm of the Unified Earth Government (UEG). Remaining intact throughout substantial colonization efforts of the 24th and 25th centuries, as well as the Insurrection which followed, the UNSC stood firm during the Covenant’s assault on its own colonial territories and eventually Earth. In the aftermath of the war, the UNSC now struggles to regain control of its own territories and recover from the horrific devastation of a three-decade long conflict.
