Humanity continued to suffer in the Sol system for almost 150 years after the end of the Interplanetary Wars. The ability to access slipspace allowed for humanity to finally expand beyond the Sol system. Despite achieving peace, however, there was still no viable solution to the overpopulation problem - and it only continued to worsen. The UNSC would serve as humanity's military, and act as the military arm of the UEG.


When the UEG and the UNSC finally were able to stop the fighting on all sides, the United Nations convened and decided that the UEG would become the ultimate leading government for humanity, and all nations were to unite under it. Due to the fact these conflicts spanned the Sol system, they were dubbed the Interplanetary Wars. Communism and fascism saw a large resurgence in this time due to the overpopulation of Earth, most groups sought to take control and bring others under their political and economic reign in order to (in their minds) save humanity. Violent conflict broke out due to the constant struggles of an overpopulated species.ĭespite the best efforts of the UEG and UNSC throughout the twenty-second century, several politically-motivated nations declared war on all who opposed them and began fighting.
