From its early years as a peacekeeping and policing force in the Core Worlds and Inner Colonies of the human sphere, with ships and crews loaned from the various member states of the UN, the UN Space Command has grown into an autonomous force with its own fleet assets, ship designs and construction yards. By the time of the First Xeno War against the Kra’Vak, the UNSC fleet is as large as that of any of the main human power blocs and its command structure is completely independent of the navies of the member states, answering only to the UN Grand Council - which by this time is a Terran World Government in all but name. During the Xeno War and the ensuing Siege of Sol, the UNSC fleet forms a major part of the defensive forces protecting Earth and the Core Worlds from the alien advance. The ships of the UNSC fleet are powerful vessels designed with the cutting edge of human technology, and make wide use of modular designs to simplify construction and repair.
