The History of the United Nations Clan
By MrGeneralJB
Early Formation and
Origins of the UN
After the second age of the Monarchy of Halo, Shadowsniper and a few others thought of the idea of a more peaceful clan and a more "civilized" welfare as a succeeding clan rather than MOH's failed motives. The extent and development of a more complex and striving group would be more of a performance and a more organized faction. On June 28th, 2010, the UN was bound of formation and created to start it's early origins in the last months of Halo 3. With a more complex society, it made possible to production of new standards of clan warfare and improved uses of diplomatic ways with the uses of peace and truces. With Shadow as one leader, and chosen high commands of squads, the UN seemed easily enough to succeed into the coming new world of Halo Reach.
The UN adopted significant ranking structures similar to the ranks of Rouge Army Brigade, a clan that died out in May of 2010 as well as the "militarized" clan system with real life military-like tactics. A clan member's full armor set featured basic Mark IV body piece with a custom chosen helmet picked by the user, branded with the rank of the member and the color of white resembling "peace" with a brand of there squad on the leg and arm; particularly popular colors were red for "Alpha" and blue for "Bravo". The UN kept the squad system until the beginning stages of Halo Reach.

The Birth of an Army
The ways of the very early standard boot-camp systems gave the UN the upper-edge on recruiting and increasing the army count. The UN created one of the most formidable armies in all the early community, training it's members for war and conflict. Training was essential to the early UN, and exercises were given weekly to maintain military formality. The firing of cones were considered of
"good practice" for beginners, while 1 v 1 duels with a dueler proved how good and efficient a member would be in a solo situation. Team-based exercises were also in-place, to demonstrate how good you were with a team to achieve success in battle.
Soon after it's first month of creation, the clan was put to the test in it's first full-scale conflict ever in UN military history against a formidable opponent.
UN-ROH WARS
At the early days of July 2010, traitor USC soldiers revolted against the USC and held intentions against Shadowsniper and the expanding
United Nations clan. The first attack and assassination occurred on Shadowsniper on July 9, 2010, which prompted the UN to make a determined effort to defeat the now unified clans of the Reapers of Hell and the Rouge Spartan Command. The UN rose to the challenge, holding up the ROH at numerous battles for almost a month winning many victories. It was not until a UN-Elite led coalition, the first ever alliance and coalition in UN history; that finally defeated the ROH and few days later, the end of the RSC.
UN-ROH WAR
Battle of Ratsnest
DATE
Late July 2010
FORCES
UN/Elites: 8 or more
ROH: 6, 7 or less
CASUALTIES
Entire ROH force killed,
Less than medium for UN/Elite forces
______________________________
After a sudden alliance with a powerful Elite clan, the UN made use that such a powerful ally and the UN's forces working together could eradicate and finally put in end to conflict. The ROH, once more was led by Defter Reaper, and faced the opposing armies led by ShadowSniper and a unknown Elite warrior. The UN and the Elites made a substantial army faced in several places on the Halo 3 map Ratsnest. The ROH were at most times, scattered and left several weak-points across the battlefield. Seeing an opportunity to crush the ROH, Shadow launched his infantry against them, along with additional help from the Elites. The victory soon brought the UN-ROH War to an end.

SIEGE WARFARE
One of the most formidable aspects of the late Halo 3 period was the ability of constructing keeps and castles.
It is said that an Elite clan were the first to construct such
awesome fortifications using the tools of inter-locking and
masonry, while in the course of the community's early stages.
The new changes and styles of warfare made use of a prominent
feature of the community's way of life. Laying sieges were often
bloody, and messy affairs, with heavy losses to demoralization.
The first UN fort is pictured here being manned and
prepared for battle. The fort was issued of the threat being of a
"doomsday" apocalypse from a hacker, and was considered a
"safe-haven" to the many UN members housed inside.
Each day, a new level would be built. Action was generally
seen almost everyday with the inviting of randoms, but it's first
taste of clan v clan was noticed until months after construction.
It is said to claim over 1000 deaths against its past attackers.

The August Wars
The expansion of the United Nations in August led the clan into conflict with the ODST Assault Force, a clan that was bent on disallowing peace between a newly declared independent clan that branched off from the ODST AF. The UN and the ODST AF fought for days until once realized that the independent clan could not be harmed, conflict ended and once more, the UN openly triumphed in it's goal. Such battles between the two clans were mostly fought on large scale maps. One such battle was on Valhalla, the site of the UN's severest defeat ever.
THE AUGUST WARS
Battle of Valhalla
DATE
August 2010
FORCES
UN: 10-12 Estimated
ODST AF: 6 Estimated
CASUALTIES
UN: Estimated around over 100
ODST AF: Estimated around over 60-70.
_____________________________
After the annunciation of the UN's failed policy to keep peace between an independent clan branched off from the ODST Assault Force, the United Nations was determined to counter the ODST in pitched battles and large-scale battlefields with out-numbering forces to overwhelm the enemy. The United Nations clan, under the command of ShadowSniper; formed a massive army set to destroy ODST in the battle to come. Soon enough, the ODST leader deployed his forces in scattered formations, taking cover behind hills and rocks; picking off UN members. Shadow sent his army across the waterfall side of Valhalla, and defended various sections there. The UN were at most times, in close formation while shooting, and fought off many skirmishers about. ODST men, superior in skill and advantage, cut the UN line apart. UN members were scattered and were easy targets. The UN made a further retreat pass the river, while the ODST charged at the already struggling enemy. The ODST AF butchered about 100. It was one of the most costly days fighting in the history of UN warfare.

The site where the United Nations made there stand. Close to the waterfall and the Valhalla
building, it provided a somewhat poor defense because of scattered units. It led to a mass horrendous slaughter.
UN-SOR Dispute
After the Elite's influence on the clan community, a clan known as the SOR (Spirits of Reach) used a keep against the United Nations.
The UN for the first time in keep battle history, engaged against an enemy that was concealed in a fortress that robbed most of the advantages of battle.
After the UN's siege victory against the SOR's own keep, the conflict came to an end.
UN-SOR CONFLICT
Siege of SOR keep
DATE
September 9, 2010
FORCES
SOR: 5 garrisoned
UN: 7
CASUALTIES
SOR keep taken, all inside perished; mostly from friendly fire. Ranged around over 115 killed.
UN deaths ranged on high amount, but less than SOR deaths, number unknown.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Events after the essential sightings of keeps and forts spread throughout the early community, passed down from the elites to various spartan clans; a nation known as the Spirits of Reach constructed a cheaply built fortification destined for a mass killing. The SOR had intentions to have future engagements with a number of elite clans, among these were also the United Nations clan. After the SOR invited UN members, a UN force led by Shadowsniper consequently laid siege to the castle by a handful of UN soldiers, a few in fact were the UN's best units. The defense was at most, indigent and poorly defend at numerous weaknesses, due to the early time period of siege warfare. The UN soldiers fought there way under a small hail of gunfire; killing a great portion of troops on the wall. This led to the enemy at the spawn, where it came to a point of hand-to-hand combat. The UN managed to get over the walls and into the building, securing it and using it on the past users. The victory that followed was the last battle of the UN that took place on Halo 3. The SOR will have another chance of engagement against the UN on Reach.
