Talk:Battle of Tribute

Dutch's in-game description says he "volunteered in time to participate in the failed defense of Tribute". Dutch enlisted in 2540, but the battle couldn't possibly have taken place back then, if Tribute is still considered a part of the Epsilon Eridani system. Well, Contact Harvest referred to it as "Epsilon Eridanus", but i doubt it meant the Eridanus system with that. Unless Staten got the two mixed up, which seems likely considering the way the system is referred to in CH.

So my point is, if Dutch enlisted in time to partake in the battle, wouldn't that mean it took place a pretty short time after he enlisted? 12 years is not exactly "just in time". Though it seems extremely unlikely that the Covenant would just arrive in the UNSC's most heavily defended system, leave for 12 years and then come back. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 14:59, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
