Background of the UNSC:
The UNSC or the United Nations Space Command is the military, exploratory, and scientific agency of the Unified Earth Government (UEG) and has acted as the emergency governing body of the human race at large for a time. The UNSC was formed in the 22nd century, a time when remnants of old cultural ideologies clashed for supremacy in the Sol System. The UNSC served mainly as overseer of United Nations military operations in space. After initiating massive militarization propaganda throughout its off-world colonies, through the UNSC, the UN defeated Frieden and Koslovic insurgent forces in a conflict known as the Interplanetary War, which consisted of a series of military campaigns that took place on Mars, the Jovian Moons and the South American rainforests. Although the Interplanetary War brought a great deal of suffering to both the colonial population and the residents of Earth, it also united most of humanity's military forces by the end of the 22nd century.
When the Insurrectionist war broke out in 2528, the United Earth Government (UEG) ceded all authority to the UNSC until the war was complete. With the use of spartan operatives and their superior space navy the UNSC quickly gained the initiative in the conflict and put the Insurrectionists to a rout after a number of grueling planetary invasions and naval skirmishes. With the de facto conclusion of the conflict in 2541 with only minor insurrectionist elements still in operation, the UNSC has begun to return many of their temporary powers back to the UEG. However, the UNSC still holds immense operational freedom and accomplished military veterans have come to hold a number political offices in the aftermath of the conflict including the current UEG president, Tobias Aadan Svensson, who previously served as an officer of the UNSC Marines Corps during the recent conflict. With the end of the Insurrectionist conflict, the citizens of Earth and her colonies look to the future with hope. But the galaxy is not as kind a place as they would believe. Many trials still lay ahead for Humanity. Will Humanity rise to the occasion and claim the mantle, or will they choose a different path, or will they fail entirely, crushed by their own ambitions as they grapple with a hostile galaxy the likes of which they could never before have imagined.
