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.

{{Conjecturalization}}
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 the [[Interplanetary War]] and the other conflicts in the [[2160]]'s where the [[United Nations]] clashed with the [[Koslovic]] and [[Frieden]] forces in the [[Sol System]], resulting in the formation of the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Unified Earth Government]]. While the concept of the Inner Colonies did not exist at that time, it is possible that the name "Inner Colony Wars" was coined after the formation of the Outer Colonies, as the story itself takes place in 2552.


Assuming that the Inner Colony Wars were a distinct event and that the name "Inner Colony Wars" has been in use since the war itself, they may have occurred in the 25th century as there obviously was no distinction between [[Inner Colonies|Inner]] and [[Outer Colonies|Outer]] colonies before the establishment of the Outer colonies.

The Inner Colony Wars were a series of conflicts that occurred sometime in human history following the establishment of the Inner Colonies in 2362.[1] Uninformative media coverage of the conflicts sparked widespread civil unrest and nearly destroyed Earth's culture.[2]

Conjecture[edit]

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 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-piracy operations; actual space battles were still entirely hypothetical to UNSC commanders by the 2490s.[3]
