*The [[Jovian Moons Campaign]] begins: Jovian [[Frieden]] secessionist attacks on [[United Nations colonial advisers]] on the moon [[Io]] lead to three months of fighting between the [[United Nations]] military and Jovian Frieden forces. Though this is not the first armed conflict in the [[Sol System]], it is easily one of the bloodiest, and is generally considered to be the spark of increased friction and militarization that followed. The conflict escalates tensions, as [[Earth]]'s [[national government]]s, many of which sponsored colonies within the [[Sol system]], begin fighting proxy wars off-planet. As these continue, tensions on Earth mount, leading to a number of armed conflicts on Earth itself.<ref name="timeline">'''[[Xbox.com/Halo]]''' - ''Timeline''</ref> | |||

*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 "peace", in this case; they believed that peace could be achieved only once the "oppressors on Terra Firma" were eliminated.<ref | *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").
