Editing Jim Dandy

{{era|CH}}
The '''Jim Dandy''' was a civilian food service establishment on the [[human]] planet of [[Tribute]] in the capital city [[Casbah]]. It was the scene of a [[UNSC]] vs. [[Insurrectionist]] conflict that was a failure for UNSC forces.

After eliminating Insurrectionist forces at one of their bombshops in a nearby city, [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] and his seven fellow [[Marines]] were ordered to move via their [[Hornet]] attack craft to Casbah. The [[Tactical Operations Center|TOC]] (tactical operations center) on the UNSC [[Mako-class Corvette|Corvette]] ''[[UNSC Bum Rush|Bum Rush]]'' had overwatch, and learned that the Insurrectionists had mixed an explosive compound into the tires of a 16-wheeler commercial hauler. This was discovered through an [[ARGUS Drone]] patrolling one of the city's major highways.

After a 20 minute flight, the strike team, made up of Alpha team led by Staff Sergeant Avery and Bravo team led by [[Byrne|Staff Sergeant Byrne]], arrived on station. Their Hornets maneuvered behind an office building across the highway from the Jim Dandy. Using an [[M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 Stanchion]], Johnson killed the Insurrectionist driver of the hauler as he exited the building.

Bravo team proceeded to land in the parking lot to secure the Jim Dandy and extract a purse suspected to be filled with explosives, as also sensed by the ARGUS drone. Staff Sergeant Bryne and his squad entered the restaurant and secured the purse, but as they did so a female Insurrectionist member took hostage a civilian child. In the ensuing chaos of panicked civilians, the purse bomb was detonated.

The explosive radius of the purse bomb also triggered the tire bombs, and thus ended the Jim Dandy Battle, resulting in three Marine deaths from Bravo team, 37 civilian casualties, and the complete destruction of the Jim Dandy.

-A Jim Dandy restaurant in the city of [[Casbah]], [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]], was destroyed during a disastrous hostage situation during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] in [[2524]]. Two squads of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], led by [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]], were neutralizing [[Insurrectionist]] bomb-making facilities when the {{UNSCShip|Bum Rush}} detected a truck full of Insurrectionist bombs with its [[ARGUS]] equipment. The teams flew to the restaurant on [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|AV-14 Hornet VTOLs]], and Johnson was successful in killing one confirmed Insurrectionist leader using an [[Model 99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 Special Application Rifle]] fired from the Hornet, but when Byrne's team entered the restaurant, a female Insurrectionist was discovered.
