The '''Inner Colony Wars''' were a series of conflicts that occurred sometime in human history following the establishment of the [[Inner Colonies]] in [[2362]].<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/GameInfo/Timeline.aspx '''Official Halo Wars Community Site''': ''Timeline'']</ref> Uninformative media coverage of the conflicts sparked widespread civil unrest and nearly destroyed [[Earth]]'s culture.<ref>''Halo Graphic Novel'', "Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa"</ref>
The '''Inner Colony Wars''' were a series of conflicts that occurred sometime in human history. Very little is known about the wars, or if they were a distinct event at all. Of what is known, "instant, uninformative news reports caused massive civil unrest" and "almost tore down [[Earth]]'s culture." <ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]''</ref>

The Inner Colony Wars have never been referenced outside the story "[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]" in the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''. Assuming the Inner Colony Wars were a distinct event they must have occurred sometime after 2362, as the formation of the Inner Colonies occurred in the mid-to-late 2300s. Since there obviously was no distinction between the Inner and Outer colonies before the establishment of the [[Outer Colonies]], the conflict may have occurred in the 2400s. However, it is possible that the name "Inner Colony Wars" was applied in later years, as the story where the event is referenced takes place in [[2552]].
The Inner Colony Wars have only been referenced in the story ''[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]'' in the ''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''. Few details are given, and it may actually be an alternate name for another conflict that occurred in human history.


The conflicts were most likely not very widespread or involve extensive space combat, as the [[Insurrection]] was the first conflict in which the UNSC partook in major space battles, their prior experience with space warfare having been limited to settling minor trade disputes or anti-[[Space piracy|piracy]] operations; actual space battles were still entirely hypothetical to UNSC commanders by the [[2490]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''' - "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]", ''page 246''</ref>
