Following the Lunar rebellion in 2098, the many nations of Earth banded together to keep the Lunar rebels from attaining what they sought, independence from Earth as the Lunar Republic. While Earth had a vastly superior pool of manpower, troops, and weapons, they had little to no available transports when the war broke out to transport them there in large enough numbers and in proper battle suits to fight on the Lunar surface, while the rebels had a vast amount of missile systems aimed at various nations on Earth due to old national rivalries, as well as the human races only Space Military Fleet, which had been built up years prior to the rebellions outbreak as to help keep the rebellion in the rebels favor, while Earth had only a few armed transport ships.
