First UNSC War

The First UNSC War, often referred to as the UNSC War, was a major conflict that spanned from spring to summer of 2013. It involved the mobilization of multiple clans on both sides and at the time was the largest conflict that USCM had been a part of in both total manpower output and direct action. 
Initiated in early 2013, Keyrut, chairman of the United Nations Space Command - a group with some 5,000+ members - accused the United World Federation of initiating a serious diplomatic incident regarding admin abuse and teamkilling at MB Capital v2 against his men and officers. 
The resulting deescalation talks failed on behalf of both parties and war was subsequently declared on the United World Federation by the UNSC after departing the federation along with its primary ally, RAA. 
The First UNSC War was a major tipping point in the history of the UWF, resulting in a war that would shape the political and social structure of all of its member clans for years to come. 
== Background ==
=== Cause and subsequent belligerents ===
After the accusations of abuse against UNSC members at MB Capital city were brought to the attention of the Federal High Command, de-escalation talks were initiated between Keyrut and major delegates of the federation to attempt to mend the alliance. 
Failing to reach proper agreements, UNSC departed the federation and followed up with a declaration of war on Mobile Bloxxers. This was met with a collective declaration of war by the federation against UNSC and its lone ally, RAA. 
=== First strike ===
Following the declaration of war, UNSC launched a first strike against MB's Capital City in the spring of 2013. A massive UNSC invasion force made its way to the outskirts of the city and was immediately repelled by federation forces. Some 20-30+ Marines, MB, RGRM, and IE collectively worked together to push the raiding force back into the countryside after intense urban combat, blockading their spawn with a number of small outposts. 
The first move had been made, and the federation began to plan a counterattack to gain ground.
=== Fort Encounter Campaign ===
Fort Encounter was one of three active bases for UNSC. It was a large, open desert map with a crashed falcon helicopter serving as the objective. The terminal inside of the crash site was roughly 800 seconds long, but it was able to be captured instantly with a single touch. 
Multiple raids were launched to great success, as a strategy had been formed to completely swarm around the terminal with as many bodies as possible to prevent the enemy from securing it. An advance force was pushed up to prevent them from making any gains in territory to threaten the objective.
USCM launched a number of attacks at this facility by direction of then-Commandant Quaker45, a few of which were comprised completely of Marines. 
=== Theta Eriandi, Epsilon Eriandi and New Panau Campaigns ===
Epsilon Eriandi and Theta Eriandi were two very similar maps used as bases by UNSC. The maps utilized a three-flag capture system on a distant planet that the raiding team could either teleport to in a distant location, or fly to in an unarmed dropship known as an ITAAC. 
The ITAACs were used to great success to airdrop Marines and federation forces onto the various points of the map which included intense urban combat in order to capture different flags around the map. 
Epsilon Eriandi was shortly decommissioned and Theta took its place as the primary raid map. Theta Eriandi focused on a much more fast-paced urban combat setting with the focus of the objectives being within compact urban centers sprawling with skyscrapers. 
Much of the combat was focused around a central flag room surrounded by highrise buildings. Eventually, Theta Eriandi was also pulled and replaced by New Panau after a few successful federation incursions. 
New Panau still utilized the same raid system, albeit with new upgrades. 
The most integral part of the map was the naval combat frequently used by both sides in space around the planet and its flags. UNSC ships would frequently bombard ground forces, requiring Marines to crew ships and engage them overhead while the ground assault commenced.

=== Fort Solum Invasions, RAA's Capitulation ===
On April 7th, 2013, the UWF plotted a large-scale multi-server invasion against RAA's Fort Solum. USCM forces, under the leadership of then-Captain scaryblokhead (Commandant ImperialBlood) and Colonel Skull26 led a Marine contingent into RAA's territory and successfully demolished their defense. 
 
The base itself was characterized by its large, lush island design and single bridge extending towards the capture point in the center of the map. The raiders needed to cross an open field littered with trees, then cross a bridge on open water to reach the terminal. 
RAA was repeatedly beaten down in the following days, eventually declaring that they wouldn't participate in the war on UNSC's behalf any longer. On April 21st, 2013, RAA withdrew themselves from the war unofficially and refused to accept it as a loss, citing that the entire war was on UNSC's hands. 
=== Close of War, Fallout ===
Nearing the end of the war in June of 2013, MB switched over to Fort Tatterack as the UWF primary base, defeating UNSC forces easily in the massive cave systems. 
As the summer drew to a close, the war began to slow down and both sides returned to regular dormancy. UNSC agreed to a temporary armistice on June 18th with the UWF and hostilities ceased between the two groups throughout the entire fall. 
The war was never officially declared over by UNSC, although the UWF considers the signing of the armistice by UNSC on June 18th to be the date of their defeat. 
The UWF, following the war, suffered a number of internal political instabilities coupled with the rise in inactivity postwar. Multiple smaller UWF groups had departed the alliance, including USCM, who sought personal technological development rather than UWF aid and standardization, which was shared throughout MB, RGRM, and IE. 
Months later, in late November, USCM rejoined the federation after a massive technological boom brought about by the recruitment and help of CoderQwerty.
