The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) is a military, scientific, government agency. Their current directive is to fight and eliminate the Covenant. Their headquarters is located on the plant Reach.
History[]
The UNSC began colonizing the galaxy at an unknown time, but were met with resistance from what they called the Outer Colonies. These rebel colonies were also called insurrectionists. The UNSC also clashed with an alien species called the Covenant, who killed populations and wielded advanced technology. The Covenant sought to destroy humanity, so the UNSC allowed Dr. Catherine Halsey to move forward on the Spartan program. These super soldiers are faster, stronger, and smarter than the average human, having been created to be the perfect compliant soldier. The Spartans became humanities greatest hope, thought the outer colonies viewed the Spartans as murderers and merciless killers. The uplinks sent daily by the UNSC were considered propaganda to some, and the backlash made it difficult for the politicians to navigate civic relations.[1]
