'''Casbah City''', also known as '''Casbah''',<ref>[[:File:H4 Skyline Hornet.jpg|This image]]</ref> was the capital city of the human colony world [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system|Epsilon Eridani System]]. Casbah, like the rest of Tribute, was cold in comparison to [[Earth]], featuring icy temperatures in June. It was a well developed city, with highways, spaceports, a [[MagLev train|MagLev Train]] system, and high-rise office buildings, as well as at least one [[Jim Dandy]] restaurant<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 14''</ref>.

==History==
Tribute was a site of ongoing resistance from [[Insurrectionist]] forces in [[2524]] during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], and so a [[battalion]] of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] were operating in and around Casbah that year, searching for Insurrectionist bomb makers, supported by the [[corvette]] {{UNSCShip|Bum Rush}} and [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] aircraft. They found one such bomb shop, and though they were able to neutralize the facility, the marines were unable to prevent some of the bombs from making their way into Casbah, which lead to a disastrous hostage situation inside one of the Jim Dandy restaurants, resulting in the deaths of 3 marines, 38 civilians, and 2 rebels<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 20''</ref>. During the [[Battle of Tribute]] a Spartan fireteam engaged the Covenant assault force in Casbah, sacrificing themselves so a group of civlians could safely escape Tribute.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/20/The-Halo-Bulletin-22013.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 2.20.13'']</ref> A simulation of the port authority's buildings in Casbah was later used by the {{UNSCship|Infinity}}'s [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]] complement for training.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/19/Halo-4-Majestic-Map-Pack-Delivers-Close-Quarters-Action-alongside-New-Game-Type-and-Playlists-on-Feb-25.aspx '''Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack Delivers Close Quarters Action alongside New Gametypes and Playlists on Feb. 25''']</ref>

In 2557, [[Nova Austin Station]] in [[Mindoro]] offered flights to the city.

==Trivia==
The city is likely named for the [[wikipedia:Casbah|Casbah of Algiers]], a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Algeria.

-In [[2558]], the [[Nova Austin Station]] in [[Mindoro]], [[Cascade]] offered flights to Casbah City. This suggests that the city was either never glassed or it was rebuilt and resettled following the war.{{Ref/Map|Halo 4|[[Skyline (level)|Skyline]]}}
