Circumstance

Circumstance is a human Inner Colony planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, famous for its universities and courts of justice. Circumstance, just after Reach and Tribute, was one of the first planets colonized in the system. One of the universities on the planet was Koletre-Browning University, which Doctor Catherine Halsey attended. Kurt Trevelyan was born in the city of Mira on Circumstance in 2511, eventually growing up in Kuiper, before being abducted to the SPARTAN-II program as Kurt-051. The planet was likely glassed by the Covenant during the invasion of Epsilon Eridani in the summer of 2552.

Trivia
In the Halo: Reach live-action short Spaceport, Circumstance is a destination listed at the Manassas Spaceport.
