World War 3 - 2034-2041
World war 3 (June 23, 2034-January 10, 2041) is a loose term to describe a decade of mostly non-nuclear Earthwide conflict and disjointed wars that happened around the same time period.

The Second American Civil war - 2077-2080
The Second American Civil War was kicked off after the final election cycle of the union. American colonies in space would abruptly cease to respond to the washington government, where the exiles in rallying Petropavlovsk would immediately declare that the Union was in violation of the constitution.
This would result in most American space colonies to suceed and join the exiles, which would result in a short war and brutal campaign of hopping the Atleutian islands before the Petropavlosk government would capitulate, follow this, the remaining exiles would sign a Armistice, setting up zones of control on the Moon and Mars with former American colonies split between the Republicans and various corporations.
The 22nd Century
2100-2150 - The Early Capital Era ("The first Wave")
The creation of the New United Nations (2103)
In 2103 after much failure of the existing United Nations, the European Federation, New Socialist Republic of China, Australia and many more would form the New United Nations, a much more legislatively powerful version of the original UN, as such the older UN council would abdicate and move to administer the New United Nations.
ASEAN split - (2103)
After much argument ASEAN would split as the Republic of the Philippines and 2nd Indonesian Republic would break away due to increasing sanctions stemming from return of Oligarchal control.
The Schisim (2103-2104)
The formation of the New United Nations would pose a question to many who already had membership in the older one. However, the issue remained of dual membership, many nations would apply to be or stay in both, which angered the new administration of the "old United Nations." Laying the foundation for a "new cold war."
Corprate Coup in Mexico - (2106)
After years of fending off Union influence the United Mexican States would lose control of many of its consitutient regions after a attempted march on Mexico city and a insuing civil war, prompting rapid NUN intervention to restore order within the region as a new provisional government of Mexico would arise.
Occupation of Baja California and the Rio Grande security zone - (2106)
The "Union" (United States of America) would move to take control of Baja California and other border regions under the pretext of restoring order in the region, European Union forces would confront American forces as negotiations to return Baja California would break down, resulting in one of the first failures of the NUN administration.
The colonisation of the asteroid belt - 2135-2145
With asteroid mining becoming much more popular, many corporations and Earth nations would flock to the asteroid belt and begin to set up major settlements on Ceres and Vesta along with many other minor objects. This 10 year period would see most major asteroid belt settlements established.
The colonisation of Jupiter - 2140-2160
Jupiter would become a major research site after the detection of life on Europa in 2032 by Europa Clipper and some catch-up observations from JUICE in 2033. This would makr great intriuge for the Jovian system as many major settlements were set up on Europa and Ganymede within this timeframe. The Jovian system would come as a incredibly strategic ground for the OUN, NUN and Martian governments.
The colonisation of Saturn - 2155-2170
Saturn would come after the descovery of life on Enceladus in XXXX. However due to its tourism potential many Corporations would land colonies and settlements around Saturn's moons. Firmly placing Saturn under OUN influence. Saturn however would come to be the location of many treaties, such as the Hygens conference of 2187 where the mining of Saturn's rings were banned as to "convserve them for generations to come."
The Independence of Mars - 2160
In 2162 after heavy pressure from Martian Diplomats, specifically American ones, the "UN martian governing body" and many other martian independent states would come to form the newly created Martian republic, however the rammifications of this were severe with the New Martian government being fractured, seeing this, the Union and other corporations would attempt a hostile takeover of the new Martain republic, which would subsiquently fail.
The Martian Civil War - 2163-2166
After this disagreement many of the Martian republic's consitutient states took arms up and began to fight against eachother, with 2 main power blocs created. The Republicans, who sought for a democratic or semi-democratic state, headered by the United States of Tharsis and the Union, which sought for a more capitalistic or oligarchical state headed by the Union commision of Tharsis.
The 1st Lunar War 2172-2174
After a increasing arms race on Venus and the extended overall arms race on the Moon, the neutral Peoples Republic of Partia Selena located in [x] would enter a civil war between hardliners and pro-capitalists funded by the OUN, this would recive immediate backlash from the NUN who would send large amounts of millitary and materiel aid to PRPS forces, sucessfully breaking the seige on their capital and pushing ProCap forces to their initial revolt zone. This would escelate as NUN troops would begin mobilising in the Shackelton crater partition zone and other key OUN border regions, the OUN responded by sending a single missile disguised as a regular hopper.
This would end in catastrophe as NUN spies implanted in the partition zone saw the nuclear bomb being unloaded and ordered a operation to capture and prevent its use. However, this was seen as a act of war and the nuclear bomb was fired and misdetonated in a empty patch of space, marking the first time a nuclear bomb was used in true space warfare. However, cooler heads prevailed and ended the war, with the bilateral agreement to withdraw from Venus in 2175.
2150-2200 - The Middle Capital Era
The United States of Titan - 2172
The United States of Titan would be formally created shortly after self sufficiency. With the majority independent or corporate mandated colonies proclaiming self governance at this time. This would mark the begining of Saturnian Politics.
Venusian Self Government and independence - 2175
After the 1st Lunar war and what was later dubbed the "south pole nuclear incident", the NUN and OUN decided to stop escelation and agreed on the bilateral withdrawment agreement to allow Venostats to not only become independent, but also recive free infastructure and aid from both sides until the nation is deemed "self sufficient."
This would ignite the first wave of Venusian nationalism and bring the end of the New United Nations space blockade on Venus.
The 23rd Century
2200-2250 - The Late Capital Era
Martian Upper Respitory Syndrome pandemic - 2199-2208
Martian Upper Respitory Syndrome (MURS) was a novel virus originating from a Earthborn strain of rhinovirus that quickly became incredibly infectious over the course of July and August of 2199, this would cause the start of a minor pandemic across Mars and something described as mirroring the COVID-19 Pandemic roughly 200 years before.
The Martian Decapitalisation - 2220
A series of reforms aimed at planetwide monopolies and remaining oligarchical factions within the martain government, unlike the UN's attempts this would be relitavely peaceful, with minimal resistances.
The 2rd Lunar war - 2207-2212
The 2nd Lunar war is one of 4 Lunar wars. It was started after the NUN attempted to end Corporatocracies and worldwide monopolies with a series of large-scale ultimatums and reforms along with outright occupations across OUN nations. This would backfire and cause many Corporatocracies to "declare war" on the NUN. While the NUN would claim victory this would leave many Corporatocracies in power.
The Standoff - 2212-2240
The standoff is a period between the 2nd and 3rd lunar wars where both the NUN and OUN were on the brink of a full scale conflict, as NUN ship production after the First Lunar War rapidly increased along with NUN allegience across the Moon and Earthspace.
The 3rd Lunar war - 2244-2250
The 3rd Lunar war is one of 4 Lunar wars. It was started after NUN forces implemented ultimatums and drastic reforms to eliminate remaining Corporatocracies around the world, this incited armed resistance against the NUN by these Corporatocracies. This would inadvertently spread to the moon and the space around it as NUN forces would fight against contracted Private Millitary Organisations for control for major nearside cities resulting in a full NUN victory and the collapse and of the OUN. However, holdouts like America would last until 2075, resulting in a cleanups and a string of smaller wars in the following 25 years.
2250-2300 - ???
The Jovian War - 2256-2257
The Jovian war was a major conflict taking place in and around the Jupiter system between the Jovian Liberationists and the Jovian Federation, involving a large-scale nuclear exchange between the Nuclear Capable entites of the Jovian System.
The creation of the Jovian Commonwealth - 2260
After the destruction of Himalya and the poor state of Callisto, the Jovian Commonwealth was proclaimed with its Capital at Ganymede on the 27th of March, 2260. This would transform Jupiter into a Major power and causing a minor arms race with the inner planets.
2268 - Asteroid Belt Agreement
After much diliberation the Asteroid belt would be formally split between the nations of the Jovian Commonwealth, New United Nations and Republic of Mars in a peaceful agreement to prevent fighting in the Asteroid Belt - however this would fail as the great game continued.
The 24th Century
2300-2331 - The Early 24th Century
O-Neill cylinder Jewel of Joves was completed in [year], this would be a great achivement as the first structure of its kind in the outer solar system.
The 4rd Lunar war - 2300-2320
The 4rd Lunar war is one of 4 Lunar wars. It was a 20 year long semi-guerilla war between the United Nations and the Farside republic in a campaign to eliminate remaining Corporatocracies in the Earth-Luna system. This would mark the United Nation's first conflict in the 24th century and see the use much more automated systems and be a testing ground for "modern" weapons.
