Tribute is a inner colony world in the Epsilon Eridani system governed by the Unified Earth Government. Tribute is a major human colony with a large population and thriving spaceport traffic. Its strong economy was centered around the planet's large industrial capacity.[1][2] Its largest populated urbanized metropolis was Casbah City, located in a region of past volcanic activity.[3] Tribute was the homeworld of Daniel Clayton and Spartan Carris-137, who was born on December 15th, 2510 in Irbid.[4]
History
Insurrection
Tribute was one of the major focus points of Operation: TREBUCHET in 2524, where UNSC forces operated against Insurrectionist bomb cells hiding throughout the colony. At least one battalion of Marines were involved in operations on the planet, supported by the UNSC Bum Rush and flights of AV-14 Hornets. Due to the increasing amount of civilian casualties and injuries caused by the Insurrectionists, combat support hospitals were built on Tribute as a form of aid and relief.[5]
One of the missions involved Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, who led two squads of Marines in a raid on a rebel bomb shop in a town nearby Casbah City. During the raid, it was discovered that the explosives were mixed into the tires of a truck headed for Casbah. The Marines tracked the truck to a Jim Dandy restaurant in the city.[3] Three members of Byrne's team, as well as thirty-eight civilians, were killed in the restaurant when a rebel detonated a bomb during a hostage situation. Byrne was critically injured in the explosion and Johnson was lightly wounded.[6]
Between 2524 and 2525, Captain James Cutter had an extramarital affair with a woman on Tribute. This liaison produced a son, Daniel Clayton.[7]
Human-Covenant War
- Main article: Battle of Tribute
During the Fall of Reach, the Covenant also attacked the other colonies in the system, including Tribute. The UNSC Navy escort fleet suffered 90% losses during the evacuation of civilian refugees. Corporal Taylor "Dutch" Miles witnessed the near-total destruction of the fleet, which instilled in him a thorough respect for the Navy.[8] Several Spartans were deployed to Casbah City to assist the evacuation effort, resulting the in deaths of an entire SPARTAN-III team.[9] The colony remained under siege by the Covenant fleet for some time. During the battle, Team Black was sent to Verge on a mission to destroy a Covenant beacon that was mining helium-3 to provide energy for the fleet blockading Tribute.[10] Although they were successful, Tribute was eventually glassed by the Covenant.[11]
Post-war
Tribute's glassing may have been only partial, or the planet was reterraformed following the war, allowing humans to resettle there.[12][13] A series of ship graveyards continued to orbit the planet's northern pole; these graveyards served as the testing ground for the MJOLNIR Deadeye variant.[14]
