Tribute was a UNSC colony world in the Epsilon Eridani System. Its largest populated urbanized metropolis was Casbah[1].
It had a history of volcanic activity and appeared to be a cold world. It was one of the major focus points of Operation: TREBUCHET in 2524, where UNSC forces operated against the rebel bomb cells. At least one Battalion of UNSC Marines were involved with ongoing operations on the planet, supported by the UNSC Bum Rush and flights of Hornets.
One of the missions involved Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson and Staff Sergeant Nolan Byrne leading two squads of Marines after rebel bomb makers. Three members of Byrne's team were killed in a Jim Dandy restaurant when one of the female rebels detonated a bomb during a hostage situation, also killing 38 civilians. Byrne and Johnson were both injured in the incident, Johnson slightly and Byrne critically[2].
After the Covenant glassed Reach, it is unknown whether they also glassed Tribute. However, when the Fleet of Particular Justice's commander ordered all vessels under his command to follow the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, some ships were left behind, perhaps with the intent of continuing to raze the remaining UNSC planets.
