Due to their significance to interplanetary and interstellar transportation, spaceports are common targets for [[terrorism|terrorists]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[Tribute]]'s numerous spaceports were under constant supervision by [[ARGUS drone]]s to prevent bombings.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 12''</ref> | Due to their significance to interplanetary and interstellar transportation, spaceports are common targets for [[terrorism|terrorists]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s.
