FLEETCOM

For too Long Humanity has been on the back foot, reacting to threats instead of preventing them, the rest of the galaxy was bigger then us, stronger then us, we suffered defeat after defeat saw our worlds burn a thousand times, but humanity is no longer on the defence, we are the giants now…Fleet Admiral Lord Hood

United Nations

Humanity first reached the stars in the mid 21st century, during this time political powers changed rapidly from divided national Governments. Too a global United Nations leading Humanity to a golden age of peace and prosperity, but this peace did not last by 2160 the threat of an interplanetary war was imminent with the rise of rebels who didn’t wish to stand with the UN, War soon broke out and for the first time the UN was forced into a military action. During this time the UNSC was pushed back to earth due to the UN having nearly no military forces in this age of peace. finally in the year 2162 the UN deployed Blitzkrieg tactics and Nuclear weaponry to crush the rebel forces. At the end of the war the UN had decided that to protect earth and her colonies required a dedicated military force beginning the United Nations Space command (UNSC)

United nations Space Command

During this time the newly formed UNSC held great trust and Awe with the citizens it had to protect the UNSC grew with power and man strength at an extraordinary rate. With the newly achieved shaw-fujikawa slip-space drive humanity expanded outside the sol system by 2490 the UNSC had over eight hundred worlds in its charge. in 2517 the UNSC was threatened by a second civil war on a much larger scale starting the Spartan programs, his soon proved to be the least of there worries. In 2525 a colony on the edge of UNSC controlled space. The UNSC sent a force to investigate they uncovered a non human enemy force known as the covenant. This alien race’s technology seriously outmatched the UNSC . Humanity entered a war were they where on the back foot humanity suffered defeat after defeat and lost world after world

United nations space commandThe covenant finally reached earth but they made one mistake they underestimated humanity but most importantly the underestimated the master chief the hero of humanity. The UNSC fought the covenant for every inch of earth and for the first time the covenant lost. Humanity deal a decisive kick to the covenant. Since then the UNSC regrouped and rebuilt with a speed the covenant couldn’t match and the tide had turned the UNSC had surpass the covenants technology humanity was no longer the weak humanity was the giant and they would never again. Be the mice.
