Rise of humanity
Circumstance, just after Reach and Tribute, was one of the first planets colonized in the system by the Unified Earth Government.

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.
