Template:Ratings Template:Triple battle infobox The Argyre Planitia Campaign was a military campaign undertaken by UN forces against human rebel forces on the planet Mars.[1] The Argyre Planitia Campaign marked the beginnings of the UN Space Command (UNSC), and the dedicated usage of large forces of Marines in ground attacks.
Timeline
December 2163
In a conflict that stemmed from The Rain Forest Wars, the three primary Earth factions clashed again, this time on Mars[1]. A series of lightning strikes against Koslovic forces near the Argyre Planitia marks the first extra-terrestrial deployment of Marines. The campaign was an unquestionable success. As a result, future military doctrines will favor large contingents of Marines for ground assaults and ship-boarding actions.
