| ==Overview==
| | '''Circumstance''' was a [[UNSC]] colony world in the [[Epsilon Eridani System]], along with [[Tribute]], [[Beta Gabriel]] and [[Reach]]. ''Circumstance'' was apparently famous for its universities and courts of justice.<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 62</ref> After [[Battle of Reach|Reach]] was [[glassed]] in [[2552]], it is unknown whether the [[Covenant]] glassed ''Circumstance'', but it is probable considering the fact that [[Terrence Hood]] says "[[Earth]] is all that [[Human|we]] have left." |

| ==History==
| |
| ===Rise of humanity===
| |
| Interest for possible colonization in the Epsilon Eridani system originally focused on [[Tribute]] and Circumstance, though that would change to [[Reach]].{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/tribute|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Tribute}} Circumstance would be settled in [[2364]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ===Human-Covenant war===
| |
| By July 2552, Circumstance was a destination listed at the [[Manassas Spaceport]].<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Spaceport (Remember Reach)|Spaceport]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| When the Epsilon Eridani system was invaded by the [[Covenant]] in the summer of [[2552]], most of the population centers on Circumstance were destroyed.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/fathom-station|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Fathom Station}} The planet likely survived at some point after the invasion.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=50}}
