Rise of humanity
Interest for possible colonization in the Epsilon Eridani system originally focused on Tribute and Circumstance, though that would change to Reach. Circumstance would be settled in 2364.

Human-Covenant war
By July 2552, Circumstance was a destination listed at the Manassas Spaceport.

When the Epsilon Eridani system was invaded by the Covenant in the summer of 2552, most of the population centers on Circumstance were destroyed. The planet was attacked and likely survived at some point after the invasion.

Government and society
Circumstance possessed a rich industrial depth, thriving population, famous interstellar courts, educational facilities, and theaters.
