Introduction
The United Nations (UN) were a sovereign federation of formerly-independent-nation-states that spanned across several territories throughout the Sol System - Terra, Luna, Space Colonies, Mars and the Kuiper Belt.

Founded in 1945, following the Second World War, as an international organization – facilitating global co-operation, and peace through international law. Throughout the 21st century Earth’s governments, as well as the UN, were experiencing a continuous decrease in administrative power (brought on by political parties’ self interest rather than working for the interests of their country and people).

Following the damage done to Terra’s ecosystem reached extreme levels, the world’s nations decided to finally put aside their individual interests and international differences, achieving global unification to achieve space colonies. First on Luna, followed by Artificial Habitat Stations, then Mars and lastly the Kuiper Belt to remove the excess population from Terra, whist the planetary terraforming was underway to return Terra to an Eden state.

The US Secretariat subsequently became the effective leader of all humanity and remained so until the Martian Colony was granted independence from the UN following the Colony War of Independence, which initiated the Era of Human Colonization.

Decline of Terra’s Ecosystem 2023 -2153
Following years of neglect by the world’s people, government and corporations Terra was on the verge of ecological collapse, a permanent ecological collapse – resulting in mass extinction.

Governments throughout the world administrative and military power collapsed, with the exception of one, who established the first Tower of Babel – A tower that reached into space, which would in turn enabled humanity colonize the Luna surface.

With hope returned to humanity the UN were able to restore peace.

Humanity then created the Arcs – a cylindrical colony 12.8 km in diameter and 72 km in length. The cylinder’s interior is divided into three lengthwise sections incorporating city, urban, factory, agricultural and rural arears whist rotating to create a simulate gravity of one G in mass numbers.

This was then followed by Mars and the Kuiper Belt manufactory facilities …to decrease the remaining excess population.

Colony War of Independence 2154-2165
Following the establishment of Arc Space Stations Mars and the Kuiper Belt were established as the primary dumping ground for Terra’s unwanted citizens. These slave labor camps, within hash environments, were promised freedom in exchange for work. Many of them did not survive – some were abandoned and left to fend for themselves – they continued to mine and soon began to build ships and a new form of weapon system, called BattleMechs.

Thus, the Colonial War of Independence commenced as Mars, the Kuiper Belt and many Arcs initiated a war of independence from a now tyrannical UN (a war of the haves versus the have nots).

By 2165 it appears as though the War of Independence was reaching its conclusion in the favor of the UN pushing the remaining Arc Space Stations and the entire rebel humanity beyond the Kuiper Belt. When on September 3, 2165 the Deimos Project was initiated as Arc Colony Ships became the JumpShips travelling faster-than-light interstellar spacecraft arriving at multiple new worlds.

It would take the UN over hundred years to replicate the technology and commence military operations to bring these renegades once more under their control.

Colony Wars of Independence 2282
UN forces begin an invasion of the Tau Ceti system – the Tau Ceti System initiates a HPG message to all colonies advising them that their ancestral enemy from Terra has returned, an that war has once more commenced – in which images of UN BattleMechs and DropShips were also included.
Get thee to Coventry … Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious by this daughter of Tharkad … Our army shall march through. Well to New Avalon tonight.
