From the beginning, the Outer Colonies were bound to become more unstable than the Inner Colonies. Whereas the original settlers of the latter had been carefully selected from Earth's finest, by the time the Outer Colonies were created the recruitment standards had loosened considerably and were no longer as strictly supervised. Many of the corporations contracted for off-world colonization had their interests in obtaining rights to valuable resources, colonial personnel being a secondary consideration: this led to the illegal conscription of colonists or acquiring them from among pardoned criminals. The Outer Colonies also became a haven for Earth and Inner Colony citizens unhappy with the Earth government or otherwise looking for a fresh start, and many fled to the Outer Colonies through both legal and illegal means.{{Ref/Reuse|history}} | From the beginning, the Outer Colonies were bound to become more unstable than the Inner Colonies.

As a result of the growing rumblings of discontent, many inhabitants of Earth and the Inner Colonies began to feel threatened by the Outer Colonies surrounding them.

The fighting eventually spread to the [[Epsilon Eridani system]]. By [[2524]], the fighting involved in Operation: TREBUCHET alone had taken over a million lives, the majority of which being civilians. In that year, a Marine battalion was posted at the colony world of [[Tribute]], commanded by Lieutenant Colonel [[Aboim]] and supported by the corvette {{UNSCShip|Bum Rush}} and air support from [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]]s. The battalion attempted to put a stop to rebel bomb makers near the city of [[Casbah]]. Two special warfare squads, led by [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]], were involved in disastrous operation in June. Byrne's team was killed during a hostage situation at a [[Jim Dandy]] restaurant near Casbah city; thirty-eight civilians, three Marines, and two rebels were killed in the bombing. Byrne and Johnson were pulled from the system, and were later sent to [[Harvest]].{{Ref/Novel|CH|Chapter=Prologue}} | The fighting eventually spread to the [[Epsilon Eridani system]].
