The Inner Colony world [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] had a maglev rail system around the entire planet which centered around the main population center [[Casbah City]]. This system formed a core part of the colony's transportation grid. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[UNSC Marine]]s had to place [[ARGUS]] bomb-sniffing devices around the stations around the planet to ensure that [[insurrectionist]]s did not try to sabotage the network.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 12</ref> | The Inner Colony world [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] had a maglev rail system around the entire planet which centered around the main population center [[Casbah City]].
