History

The United Nations Space Command – UNSC – came into existence during the Interplanetary War that ended in 2164.  UNSC forces defeated communist and fascist factions in a series of conflicts, but they could not fight overpopulation.  With famine and war threatening human survival, the colonization of nearby worlds became necessary.  By 2310, the first wave of colony ships was underway, escorted by military personnel.

Expansion brought new threats, and with the formation of the Outer Colonies, UNSC forces were fighting to keep the peace against secessionists and rebels, unhappy with the imbalance of wealth and power between in the inner and outer colony worlds.  These series of conflicts were drawing the UNSC into a losing war and resulted in the creation of the SPARTAN-II Project. 

Then in 2525 the colony of Harvest came under attack by the Covenant, and everything changed.  After a costly fight the UNSC is able to retake what is left of Harvest in 2531.  UNSC commanders find themselves fighting a losing war in ship to ship combat in the Outer Colonies, but on the ground they are on more of an equal footing.

Halo Wars

In Halo Wars you’ll find that the UNSC field a very versatile arsenal.  You can enlist the aid of Marines, Warthogs, Scorpions and Hornets to strategically control areas of the map or advance on new ones.  Specialized UNSC leaders offer you further tactical abilities such as calling in support from Spirit of Fire above and highly specialized units that can make the difference between winning and losing.

Whether its close air support, infantry, or heavy armor, the UNSC can field the units to get the job done.
