UNSC Post War

The UNSC as of 2553.
==Military==
The UNSC Military was extremely weak at the end of the Human Covenant War. Having Reach and Earth be hit in the same year, much less within a month of each other. Reach being the center of the military and Earth being the center of everything. Obviously the UNSC wasn't doing so hot.
==Economy==
The UNSC Economy was in shambles as well.
=The Big Split=
In 2554 the United Planetary Union was formed. Many Planets including Arae (its capital) were drawn into the UPU. The URF was folded into its robes. The UPU secretly authorized a Nuclear Strike on Earth simultaneous with the Planet Arae being taken over. Effectively declaring war on the UNSC. 
== War! ==
The UNSC responded in typical gung ho fashion. By sending in the cavalry. They sent in a Task Force that included the 7th Shock Troopers and Battle Group Devil (The UNSC Britannia the UNSC Churchill UNSC Gekido UNSC Illustrious and the UNSC Gateway to Andromeda.
