The Battle of Tribute was a conflict that took place on and over the planet Tribute in the Epsilon Eridani system in August 2552.[note 1]
Battle
After the Covenant began their invasion of Reach on July 24, they also attacked the other colonies in the system, including Tribute. ODST Corporal Taylor Miles was present during the evacuation of the colony, and witnessed the near total destruction of the UNSC Navy escort fleet in orbit as they protected civilian refugees where the fleet suffered 90% losses.[1] Army forces also participated in the battle.[2] A Spartan fireteam[note 2] engaged the Covenant assault force in the capital city of Casbah, sacrificing themselves so a group of civilians could escape the colony.[3]
The battle apparently lasted for some time, as the Covenant continued to blockade the planet. SPARTAN-II Team Black was sent to Verge to destroy a beacon supplying the Covenant ships with helium used as fuel in their reactors. Team Black succeeded in their mission, presumably hindering down the Covenant assault.[4]
Legacy
In 2558, the Template:UNSCship's SPARTAN-IV complement used a simulation of the Casbah theater for their War Games training.[5]
