For most of 2163, fighting was limited to the asteroid belt and outer planets, with Earth seemingly isolated from the conflict; both United Nations and international forces were content to let the communists and fascists slug it out. This isolation came to a brutally abrupt end with a communist-backed terrorist attack above Earth, claiming the lives of several thousand civilians. The resulting outrage brought the forces of the United Nations and all those of Earth to Mars where - as a combined fleet - they destroyed concentrated communist forces and began the process of reclaiming Mars. In an unparalleled move, the United Nations declared a policy of total war against the Koslovic Party and Frieden Movement, and created a new body to carry out this jingoist policy - the United Nations Space Command. The next seven years saw the forces of the UNSC reclaiming and restoring order to the war-torn reaches of the Sol System; from Mars to the colonies and stations of the Belt, to the fascist strongholds of Jupiter, to still contested outer planets beyond. While the fleet could secure quick, bloody victories, the various planet-side campaigns ground on for years, with the longest-lasting - Callisto - ending just a few months prior to the end of the war in 2170, serving as the official location of surrender on August 30 of the same year. The Interplanetary Conflict had lasted three-thousand, eight-hundred-and-twenty-nine days.
