The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) is one of three playable factions in the mod Sins of the Prophets (SotP). The UNSC is the military arm of the United Earth Government (UEG), first formulated in 22nd Century as a means to address several military conflicts that plagued the Sol System at the time. The UNSC was designed for cross-discipline cooperation, which it excels at due to the nature of HighCom (High Command). The UNSC is split into Ground (UniCom) and Naval (NavCom) forces. Although the UEG commands the UNSC during the Human-Covenant War in many ways the UNSC acted as the main governing body. The war cost many Human lives.
In 2525, when the Humans first met the Covenant the UNSC met a near impossible enemy and was put to the ultimate test of protecting the Human race. The leaders of the Covenant saw the Humans as being left behind by the Forerunners which challenged their religion and so they began a 27 year war against the Humans trying to exterminate them. But the Humans did not want to go down with out a fight. They threw almost everything at the covenant until in 2552 the Humans had discovered the Forerunners ultimate weapon, Halo.
The discovery of the ring was good, but it held a deep dark secret, the flood, which the rings were designed to destroy, was released. This was the ultimate enemy to both the Covenant and the UNSC.
During game-play the player is given command of the entire UNSC as a whole and can use these power as the player sees fit, although only the space/NavCom side of the UNSC can be directly commanded. Non-controllable ground invasions are present as the UNSC's unique planetary bombardment method.
