The UN - Federation War (A Bloody Conflict)

The UN-Federation War or most commonly know as the “Space War” was the first major war where humanity fought using new advanced technology such as Hovercrafts and Warships which lasted 7 years. The War was fought around the now Human colonized Solar System by the United Nations and the Solar Federation. The Space War started on October 25 2035 until it ended with a Federation victory and a peace treaty signed on August 17 2039.

The Space Expansions of 2022 - 2030
On April 15 2022, the United Nations Space Command, a large sister organization of the UN, launches the first manned expedition to the red planet Mars with the help of NASA and by 2028, humanity had achieved the impossible when the first cities were constructed in Mars and the Moon. The UNSC sent more expeditions and on 2029, every planet in the Solar System was now colonized by the Human race. Large beautiful colossal cities were created in every planet and millions of people flocked to the cities to live in the new environment humankind had occupied. Unfortunately, the people living in the colonies around the Solar System were governed by the UNSC and there were some people who despised the authority of the organization and wanted freedom to rule. Soon the Solar System Revolutions or the Space Revolts were about to begin

Solar System Revolutions
The Revolutions first began as small rebellions that could be easily quelled by the UNSC Armed Forces without violence but the rebellions grew larger and harder to stop which eventually led to the Jupiter Revolution which forced the UNSC to declare war against the rebels when the people of the Jupiter colony led by Isaiah Smith rose up and overthrew the UNSC colonial government. Meanwhile in Earth, nations especially the North american Confederation feared that if the the colonies would gain independence, there was a chance that they could attack Earth so on October 16 2030, the UN declared war against the rebels which started the first days of the war. The revolution in Jupiter ended with a major rebel victory and the complete retreat of the UNSC from the planet. The rebels seized all equipment from the UNSC and even captured an abandoned fleet of warships.

Large fleets of UNSC space warships along with the UN were created and mobilized immediately for war while the rebels had acquired also their own fleet in the now liberated planet of Jupiter. When both sides had finally finished their preparations, the rebels had already toppled down UNSC governments in every colonized moon and planet in the Solar System.

Battle of the Moon
On October 25 2035, a UN naval fleet composed of hundreds of UNSC warships under Admiral Luke Evergreen head towards the now rebel controlled United Moon Colonies to liberate the Lunar colonies and prevent the Rebellion from staging an attack on Earth from the moon. The rebels had also prepared defenses composed of some captured warships and orbital defenses but they were not ready on what happened next. When the UN naval fleet arrived at the moon, rebel space defenses were suddenly deactivated by a secret switch installed in all the rebel captured UN equipment from warships to infantry weapons. Soon the biggest UN destroyers, Liberty and Eagle, entered the lunar orbit and began bombarding the occupied bases and killed 30,000 rebel soldiers within 3 hours then the invasion began. The UNSC aircraft carrier, Goldstein, launches bomber hover planes to bomb the remaining rebel defenses that were still operational and that were not deactivated. Troop hover planes then land 800,000 UN troops and they immediately began fighting against the rebels who were now using their own weaponry. The rebels were eventually pushed back by the UN soldiers and were forced to retreat. The Battle of the Moon finally ends when the last rebel troops flee on the remaining warships and the remaining rebel occupied lunar territories were once again back at UN hands. The first battle ended within one day and with a UN victory. The United Nations had lose 50,000 men but the Rebellion had lose more men, estimated about 70,000 men while also losing 3,000 troops to capture by the UN.

The Battle of Venus
The Battle of Venus was the bloodiest battles in the war starting on November 18 2035 as the UNSC were having trouble in pushing the Rebellion after the rebels learned of its mistakes during their defeat on the moon. The battle began immediately after the fall of the moon to the UNSC when UN battleships entered Venutian airspace and attacked rebel bases. General Alexander Cipher who headed the rebels in Venus made a speech to his demoralized and weakening army, hours before the first UNSC ships arrived. This was the famous speech made by General Cipher before he died during battle on the last days of the wa:

"''My fellow Venutians, today our enemy is at our doorsteps and are hell bent on destroying our way of life. We are outgunned, outmanned and outplanned but you know what I say, we will not fall to those destroyers for we have the right to be free and not to be under some organization. We have shed blood together and rose up against the tyrannical rulers we call "leaders". We made a new home that everyone could feel safe and happy but the UNSC won't let that happen. I know we are at the brink of defeat but think...think for your children, your brother, your sister, your own family. These people we adore and love will suffer for eternity because we, soldiers of freedom, refuse to fight and gave up like cowards who lose hope. I promise that we would win and we would avenge those who were killed by the enemies of freedom. I promise all of you that I will give up my life so that our people and society would live. I promise my loyalty for the Venutian Republics."''

The Venutian Army cheered and praised Cipher for his speech as it improved morale within the weakening army and showed them that there was something important they are fighting for. A few hours later, UNSC ships bombarded rebel controlled areas ranging from civilian populated cities to bases. The bombardment lasted for 3 days as warships took the lives of 800,000 Venutians and almost destroyed the planet that it seemed unrecognizable once the UNSC ships stopped firing but the rebels survived.

Soon UNSC troops made landfall on the weakened cities but were surprised when they were faced with heavy resistance from hidden rebel troops. The Battle of Athena was the bloodiest urban battles since the Battle of Stalingrad as UNSC and Rebel troops fought against each other in every building or part of the city. The battle led to a stalemate when the 2 sides were forced to withdraw most of their forces to invade or defend other areas in the city and planet.

By February 16 2036, the UNSC had gained a huge territory of Venus but not large enough compared to the remaining territory held by the rebels. The Battle of Venus had led to several bloody stalemates causing both sides to use WW1 methods leading to the deaths of millions of men,women and child but the war continued. Meanwhile in space, Rebel warships came in contact with UNSC warships and began fighting but no progress was made on the 2 sides.

General Cipher was irritated that the Rebellion were not making enough effort and progress in fighting the enemy so he asked permission of Rebel Command to approve his plan called Operation Zeus. After much arguing and debating, the Rebels allowed the creation of Operation Zeus. The future famous operation was regarded by historians as one of the best operations that changed the course of the war.

Operation Zeus was a huge risky and probably suicidal military operation tasked to capture important UNSC space stations that are vital because the stations are the so called "life line" of the supply line of the UNSC. The plan was for the main Rebel fleet to lure the UNSC navy away from the space stations by using false information and false reports to allow rebel special forces to infiltrate and capture the UNSC space stations. Luckily the first phases of the operation were a success as the UNSC Command believed the fake information and reports given by their UNSC spies, thanks to double agents, bribery, falsification and excellent forgery of reports by the Rebel Intelligence.

On November 6 2036, after months of preparation, the Rebellion was ready to finally to be the first one to hit the UN with a suffering blow as Rebellion Special Forces (RSF) began entering the space stations with the fake purpose of being UNSC soldiers. The Operation then begins when the majority of the UNSC naval fleet heads toward their fake target.


 * 3:00 AM

The crews of UNSC space station “Armstrong” were asleep as the Special Forces finally exit their ship but soon there awaken by gunshots in the ship bay when the rebels began firing at the UNSC guards. The battle had begun. As the the first rebels captured the “Armstrong” station, the other rebels also began fighting with the UNSC space station defenders but the guards were forced to retreat as the rebels were more equipped and more trained their UN counterparts.


 * 5:00 AM

3 hours after the rebels attack, most of the UNSC space stations were in rebel control as the UNSC defenders were caught off guard and had not properly equipped or armored themselves properly to fight. When the last stations fell to the rebellion, the RSF communicated with a small nearby rebel fleet to gather the supplies in the stations but suddenly UNSC jet fighters appeared out of nowhere  and began firing missiles at the station.


 * 7:00 AM

Rebel Command, upon hearing of the UNSC surprise attack, was given a report about a hidden UNSC fleet near the stations. General Cipher quickly ordered a retreat but not before ordering the explosive detonations of C4's on the supply stations


 * 9:00 AM

When the remaining rebel special forces retreated, the hidden USNC fleet had arrived and began securing the supply stations, not knowing that there were hidden explosives in the nuclear engines of the stations. Soon every supply station was suddenly destroyed when Cipher ordered the detonations of the C4's. Every UN personnel in or near the stations were killed when they were surprised by nuclear blasts.

The "victory" of the Rebellion on the destruction of the UNSC supply stations rippled and affected every aspect of the War. Without their supply stations, the UNSC had been forced to retreat their forces from Venus as rebel forces fought their way against the remaining UNSC troops to the last remaining stronghold occupied by the UNSC special forces in Venus. January 2037, the Battle of Venus was over and was won by the Rebellion but the UNSC was now determined to launch another full scale attack against the rebels. The day after the Battle of Venus was officially over and the last UNSC troops left the planet, the Rebellion agreed to form the Solar Federation made up of the different planets excluding Earth. The Federation was born.

The Bloody Year ( Fall of Mercury, Battle of Mars, Battle of Jupiter, The Great Defense of Saturn, Surprise attack on Uranus)
On January 25 2037, the UNSC made landfall on Mercury and began "blitzkrieging" their way towards the capital of Lancelot. The Federation troops fought back against the UNSC and eventually held their ground when the UNSC decided to focus most of their forces on other more important strategic locations. Meanwhile in Mars, the UNSC had already wiped out most of the Federation ground forces and were in the midst of finally capturing UNSC High Command that was stationed there until General Cipher along with a group of brave soldiers only known as "The Shadows" launch a suicide attack on the UNSC fleet hovering over an UNSC occupied area. The "Shadows" fought their way towards the middle of the Fleet and detonated a nuclear bomb that wiped out the fleet. The sacrifice of Cipher and his team brought time for the Federation High Command to evacuate to Jupiter. The UNSC on August 4 2037, got word from their spies about Federation leaders evacuating to Jupiter and soon the whole UNSC Fleet set course towards Jupiter. Jupiter was already under attack by the UNSC once the Federation command finally gathered and immediately began preparing for a counter attack. General Plutarch who became the successor to Cipher's position was given the command of Supreme Armed Commander of the Federation Forces or SACFF. By the time Plutarch began a meeting with the top leaders of Jupiter's military leaders, a UNSC surprise attack took out the weakened orbital defenses and soon UNSC troops began landfalling on the Jupiter's Capital, the city of Herod. The Battle of Herod was a battle that determined the fate of the Federation as UNSC special forces along with the "The Hunters" who were elite deadly soldiers loyal to the UNSC hunted the Federation leadership. The UNSC Army bombed their way towards the Central Zones of the city while the Federation troops fought to ensure that Herod won't fall.

UNSC Super tanks broke through hastily defended barricades of the Federation while the UNSC Reaper jets bombed and fired at the Federation defenders but the rebels continued to make it hard for the UNSC invaders to head towards the Central Zones.
