Persistent and widespread chaos of the decade past would result in the [[Callisto Treaty]] of [[2170]], spurring great reform in support of Earth nationalism. Originally little more than a mere function of the Secretariat, the UEG would begin to see radical change, evolving from a ministry to its present state as a federal executive, legislative, and judicial body, eventually subordinating the United Nations itself. All existing supranational organizations, independent nation and city-states, and their respective territorial possessions and claims on Earth and on extraterrestrial bodies; and all independent planetary and satellite colonies throughout Sol would be subject to the UEG by [[2204]].<ref name="universe"/><ref name="mythos"/><ref name="timeline">''Xbox.com'': The Halo Timeline (defunct, [[Archive:Xbox.com/Halo/Timeline|Archived]])</ref> | Persistent and widespread chaos of the decade past would result in the [[Callisto Treaty]] of [[2170]], spurring great reform in support of Earth nationalism.

As tension between the [[Inner Colonies]] and [[Outer Colonies]] increased in the late 25th century, the UEG increased the UNSC's military presence in the Outer Colonies to prevent civil unrest. However, this led to increased aggression in the Outer Colonies that eventually led to the [[Insurrection]].<ref name="cole428">'''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''', "[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

With the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525|February 2525]] and the [[Covenant]]'s systematic annihilation of the Outer Colonies, the UNSC became humanity's greatest protector against the genocidal threat. The UNSC thus overrode the civilian rule of the UEG and established itself as an emergency military government, with the military becoming humanity's primary government.<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 456''</ref> Although the Unified Earth Government was more open to stepping down in this time of crisis, the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] resisted the UNSC's drastic rise in power. It was subsequently stripped of its power and influence.<ref name="HSP"/> | With the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525|February 2525]] and the [[Covenant]]'s systematic annihilation of the Outer Colonies, the UNSC became humanity's greatest protector against the genocidal threat.
