The '''Inner Colonies''' were the first worlds [[Terraforming|terraformed]] and [[human colonies|colonized]] by the [[Unified Earth Government]], relieving the overpopulation pressure on [[Earth]] that resulted in the [[Interplanetary War]] in the 2160's. Collectively, Earth and the Inner Colonies are known as the '''core worlds'''.<ref name="history">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], numerous ships were pulled from their positions in the Outer Colonies to defend the Inner Colonies. Old ships, such as the [[Halcyon-class light cruiser]] {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}}, were refitted and brought back into service to supplement the remaining defense forces. At the beginning of the [[Fall of Reach]], dozens of Inner Colony planets were bypassed by the [[Covenant fleet]] attacking Reach,<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page ??''</ref> and a number of Inner Colonies survived the war.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike (2010)''', Adjunct: ''[[Petra]]''</ref>
