2160-2200 This period in human history was marked by a series of brutal conflicts between various governments and factions in our Solar System. Conflicts of particular historical importance included the Jovian Moons Campaign, The Rain Forest Wars, and a series of clashes on Mars.
As overpopulation and political unrest on Earth increased, a number of new political movements formed. The most noteworthy dissident movements of the period were the "Koslovics" and the "Frieden" movement. The Koslovicsâ"supporters of neo-Communist hardliner Vladimir Koslovâ"sought a return to the glory days of Communism and the elimination of corporate and capitalist influence, particularly in orbital facilities and offworld colonies.
The Frieden movement was a resurgence of fascism, springing from anti-Koslovic sentiment that had taken root in the Jovian colonies (largely backed by Unified German Republic corporations, frequent targets of Koslovic "workers' crusades". "Frieden" literally means "eace." In this case, they believed that peace could be achieved only once the "oppressors on Terra Firma" were eliminated.
2160 March-June: The Jovian Moons Campaign began. Jovian secessionist attacks on United Nations Colonial Advisors on the moon Io led to three months of fighting between the Earth military and Jovian "Frieden" forces. Though this was not the first armed conflict in our Solar System, it was easily one of the bloodiest, and is generally considered to be the spark of increased friction and militarization that followed.
The Jovian Moons Campaign escalated tensions, as Earth's national governments-many of which sponsored colonies within the system-began fighting proxy wars off-planet. As these proxy wars continued, tensions on Earth mounted, leading to a number of armed conflicts on Earth itself.
Uh, is this a work of fiction or is it a direct adaptation of the chronology of Halo? If it's the latter I'll need to move the thread across to Video Games.
Wow, I am tired still... What I meant: You have not written that, you c/p'ed it from some xbox site or something, at least it was there I found it. Therefore it should be somewhere else, like the video games section. Besides that, you have not posted a source, and is seemingly taking credit for it.
