History
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 UNSC Marines, led by Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne were neutralizing Insurrectionist bomb-making facilities when the UNSC Bum Rush detected a truck full of Insurrectionist bombs with its ARGUS equipment. The teams flew to the restaurant on AV-14 Hornet VTOLs, and Johnson was successful in killing one confirmed Insurrectionist leader using an M99 Special Application Rifle fired from the Hornet, but when Byrne's team entered the restaurant, a female Insurrectionist was discovered. When they tried to apprehend her, she took a child hostage. In the chaos that followed, the bombs were detonated,[2] killing the woman, three Marines, and 38 civilians.[3]
A Jim Dandy was also present in the city of New Haven, New Jerusalem in the Cygnus system in 2552.[4]
