Battle for Tribute: Difference between revisions

Tribute's fall was considered one of the defining tragedies of the [[Human-Covenant War]], as it had huge economic ramifications on [[Earth]] and the surviving colonies in the post-war period.<ref name="universe"/> Tribute was [[glassing|partially glassed]] in the conclusion of the battle,<ref name="h4evg2">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 177''</ref> although it would be restored to a habitable state in the postwar years as the survivors rallied to the planet's eventual reclamation and rebuilding.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike (2010)''', ''Tug o' War''</ref> Many of Tribute's major cities were heavily damaged and few industrial sites were left unscathed. Over half of Tribute's population was killed during the battle, but Earth was unable to provide any immediate assistance with the colonies of the [[Sol system]] in ruins after the Covenant's invasion. However, enough infrastructure remained intact on the planet to allow Tribute's survivors to begin rebuilding the planet's ecology and once powerful economy.<ref name="universe"/>
