The Humans that lived on The Rubble were either Insurrectionists, sympathizers, or surviving colonists from the UNSC world Madrigal. The habitats were made up of many asteroids that were linked together with docking tubes. Each of these asteroids had its own means of propulsion, and they were kept together by the machinations and calculations of the smart A.I. Juliana. She had been operating far past her normal [[List of "seven" references in Halo|7]] year life span and was approaching rampancy, but she had to remain in operation because the tasks that she performed were too difficult for humans. | ||
The station was home to several ships that had navigational data that led back to [[Earth]]. After the enactment of the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]], Spartan Gray Team was sent to The Rubble to eliminate the data. In the end, only one set of nav data managed to survive this event. | The station was home to several ships that had navigational data that led back to [[Earth]].

In response, Juliana ordered the citizens to evacuate into the Exodus Project, and worked in concert with the Spartan Grey Team and the crew and ODSTs of the UNSC frigate ''[[UNSC Midsummer Night|Midsummer Night]]'' then used the empty sections of The Rubble to bombard the enemy before they could get all their transports and warships airborne and attack the humans. | ||
