"Welcome to Tribute. A world of opportunity."

— A sign on Tribute

致敬星，又名波江座ε行星系第三行星，[3]是波江座ε行星系中的一颗人类的近地殖民地行星，由地球联合政府管理。作为围绕波江座ε星运行的第三颗行星，致敬星由一颗天然卫星Emese环绕。[1]致敬星是所有人类占领空间中最著名的商业殖民地之一，拥有庞大的人口和繁荣的太空港交通。其强大的经济以行星上巨大的工业产能为中心。[4][5] 模板:Ref/Book

致敬星在2552年沦陷于星盟，这被认为是人类-星盟战争的悲剧之一，这场战争在地球和战后幸存的殖民地上造成了巨大的经济影响。然而，这颗星球并没有完全消失，其幸存的居民已经开始重建致敬星曾经强大的经济。[1]

Tribute, also known as Epsilon Eridani III, is a human Inner Colony planet in the Epsilon Eridani system, governed by the Unified Earth Government. The third planet in orbit around Epsilon Eridani, Tribute is orbited by a single natural satellite Emese.模板:Ref/Reuse Tribute is one of the most prominent commercial colonies in all of human-occupied space, with a large population and thriving spaceport traffic. Its strong economy was centered around the planet's large industrial capacity.模板:Ref/Book

Tribute's fall to the Covenant in 2552 was considered to be one of the tragedies of the Human-Covenant War, which resulted in huge economic ramifications on Earth and the surviving colonies in the post-war period. However, the planet was not completely lost and its surviving residents have begun to rebuild Tribute's once powerful economy.模板:Ref/Reuse

历史

Rise of humanity

致敬星是波江座ε行星系中数量惊人的宜居行星之一，这一事实被视为早期殖民努力的偶然性。该体系最初的殖民化努力在争取政治和经济支持方面面临重大挑战。对星系殖民潜力的兴趣最初集中在致敬星和境遇星上，尽管致远星很快就引起了地球联合政府规划者的注意。[1]

致敬星是继其姊妹行星致远星之后，第二颗被地球联合政府和殖民管理局在波江座ε星系中殖民的行星。UEG 正式记录了致敬星的殖民化始于2364年8月8日，当时 CAA Casbah 抵达并建立了最初的导航和通信卫星星座，尽管殖民建立的正式日期受到一些人的质疑。CAA伊尔比德号的人员声称，他们早在2364年7月24日就登陆并开始殖民了。[1]

Tribute is one of the Epsilon Eridani system's improbably high number of habitable planets, a fact that was seen as serendipitous to the early colonization efforts. Initial colonization efforts in the system faced significant challenges in marshalling political and economic support. Interest in the system's colonization potential initially focused on Tribute and Circumstance, though it was Reach that would soon capture the attention of Unified Earth Government planners.模板:Ref/Reuse

Tribute was the second planet to be colonized by the Unified Earth Government and the Colonial Administration Authority in the Epsilon Eridani system, after its sister planet of Reach. The UEG officially records Tribute's colonization as beginning on August 8, 2364 when 模板:CAAShip arrived and established the initial navigation and communication satellite constellation, though the official date of colonial establishment is contested by some. Personnel of 模板:CAAShip claim that they had landed and begun colonization earlier, on July 24, 2364.模板:Ref/Reuse

大叛乱

致敬星是2524年特雷布切特行动的主要焦点之一，联合国太空司令部的部队对隐藏在殖民地各地的叛军炸弹小组采取行动。至少有一个海军陆战队营参与了行星上的行动，得到了护卫舰UNSC Bum Rush和AV-14大黄蜂飞行的支持。由于叛乱分子造成的平民伤亡人数不断增加，许多战斗支援医院都建在致敬星上，作为一种援助和救济形式。[7]UNSC最初铲除叛乱分子的努力失败了，引发了一波爆炸、暗杀和联合国安理会在城市地区的袭击，导致大量平民伤亡。[1]

其中一项任务涉及参谋长艾弗里·约翰逊（Avery Johnson）和诺兰·伯恩（Nolan Byrne），他们率领两个海军陆战队小队突袭了卡斯巴哈市附近一个城镇的叛军炸弹店。在突袭中，小队发现炸药混入一辆开往卡斯巴哈的卡车的轮胎中。海军陆战队追踪卡车到该市的一家吉姆丹迪餐厅，最终导致人质情况。[6]伯恩团队的三名成员以及三十八名平民在事件中被叛乱分子引爆炸弹时在餐厅丧生。伯恩在爆炸中受重伤，约翰逊受轻伤。[8]致敬星上的叛乱分子最初得到了民众的默许支持，但随着暴力的升级，致敬星的民众很快就明白了，叛乱分子并不是许多人想象中的浪漫的自由战士，他们的民众支持迅速减弱。尽管暴力叛乱的周期性爆发持续了十多年，但随着人类-星盟战争的开始，外殖民地的破坏和对星系间运输的严厉限制有效地切断了致敬星叛军的任何外部支持。在整个人类-星盟战争期间，少数叛乱分子仍然活跃在致敬星上，他们显然相信对星盟帝国的战争只是UEG的阴谋，以巩固殖民地的支持，至少在星盟到达致敬星之前是这样。[1]

在2524年至2525年之间，詹姆斯·卡特上尉在致敬星上与一名女子发生了婚外情。这次联络产生了一个儿子，丹尼尔克莱顿。[9]

Tribute was one of the major focus points of Operation: TREBUCHET in 2524, where forces of the United Nations Space Command operated against insurrectionist bomb cells hiding throughout the colony. At least one battalion of Marines were involved in operations on the planet, supported by corvette 模板:UNSCShip and flights of AV-14 Hornets. Due to the increasing amount of civilian casualties and injuries caused by the insurrectionists, numerous combat support hospitals were built on Tribute as a form of aid and relief. The UNSC's initial efforts to root out the insurgents failed spectacularly, triggering a wave of bombings, assassinations, and UNSC raids in urban areas that led to massive numbers of civilian casualties.模板:Ref/Reuse

One of the missions involved Staff Sergeants Avery Johnson and Nolan Byrne, who led two squads of Marines in a raid on a rebel bomb shop in a town nearby Casbah City. During the raid, the squads discovered that the explosives were mixed into the tires of a truck headed for Casbah. The Marines tracked the truck to a Jim Dandy restaurant in the city, eventually resulting in a hostage situation.模板:Ref/Reuse Three members of Byrne's team, as well as thirty-eight civilians, were killed in the restaurant when a rebel detonated a bomb during the event. Byrne was critically injured in the explosion and Johnson was lightly wounded. The insurrectionists on Tribute initially enjoyed tacit support from the population, though as violence escalated it quickly became clear to Tribute's population that the rebels were not the romantic freedom fighters imagined by many and their popular support quickly waned. Although periodic outbreaks of violent rebellions continued for over a decade, the destruction of the Outer Colonies and draconian restrictions on inter-system transport effectively cut off the Tribute rebels from any outside support as the Human-Covenant War began. A handful of insurgents remained active on Tribute throughout the Human-Covenant War, apparently convinced that the war against the Covenant Empire was simply a plot by the UEG to shore up support in the colonies, at least until the Covenant arrived on Tribute.模板:Ref/Reuse

Between 2524 and 2525, Captain James Cutter had an extramarital affair with a woman on Tribute. This liaison produced a son, Daniel Clayton.

人类-星盟战争

主条目: 致敬星战役

2552年7月下旬，随着致远星沦陷的开始，星盟也攻击了星系中的其他殖民地，包括致敬星。尽管UNSC地面部队和波江座ε星系舰队做出了努力，但星盟最终在致敬星战役中占了上风，并开始以人口和工业中心为目标进行轨道轰炸。[1]负责撤离殖民地居民的UNSC海军舰队遭受了90%的损失。[10]吉拉哈奈的军队开始强行登陆这个星球，尽管UNSC和平民的顽强抵抗使他们的狼群比他们的酋长预期的更血腥。然而，星盟获得了对天空和致敬星轨道的无可争议的控制权；UNSC几乎无能为力来拯救殖民地。[1]

几名斯巴达被部署到卡斯巴哈市协助疏散工作，导致整个斯巴达-III小队死亡。[11]第105突击部队师的至少一个排也被部署到Jaeraub市。[12]该殖民地在一段时间内一直被星盟舰队围困。在战斗中，布莱克小队被派往Verge执行一项任务，摧毁正在开采氦-3的星盟信标，为封锁致敬星的舰队提供能量。[13]虽然他们取得了成功，但致敬星最终还是被星盟部分地否定了。[14]具有讽刺意味的是，致敬星的“幸存”是由于星盟的真理与遗憾的至高先知的干扰，他们在2552年9月19日发现04号装置后开始巩固他们的忠诚力量。致敬星上仅存的几艘星盟飞船在力所能及的情况下以人类部队为目标，兴趣不大，但除此之外，他们只是等待新的命令，并开始移动轨道残骸，准备新一轮的致敬星玻璃化战役。然而，当 2552 年 11 月 3 日大分裂开始时，Jiralhanae 和 Sangheili 的船只随后在致敬星上空的轨道上和行星的天空中相互交战。由于星盟内战导致大多数星盟船只被摧毁，致敬星的人类幸存者只能困惑地看着。[1]

Casbah City under Covenant siege.

As the Fall of Reach began in late July 2552, the Covenant also attacked the other colonies in the system, including Tribute. Despite the efforts of UNSC ground forces and the Epsilon Eridani Fleet, the Covenant eventually gained the upper hand in the Battle for Tribute and began targeting population and industrial centers for orbital bombardment.模板:Ref/Reuse The UNSC Navy fleet charged with evacuating the colony's populace suffered ninety percent losses. Jiralhanae forces began to land on the planet in force, though stiff UNSC and civilian resistance left their packs bloodier than their chieftains had anticipated. However, the Covenant gained uncontested control of the skies and Tribute's orbit; there was little the UNSC could do to save the colony.模板:Ref/Reuse

Several Spartans were deployed to Casbah City to assist the evacuation effort, resulting in the deaths of an entire SPARTAN-III team. At least one platoon of the 105th Shock Troops Division was also deployed to the city of Jaeraub. The colony remained under siege by the Covenant fleet for some time. During the battle, Team Black was sent to Verge on a mission to destroy a Covenant beacon that was mining helium-3 to provide energy for the fleet blockading Tribute. Although they were successful, Tribute was eventually partially glassed by the Covenant. Ironically, Tribute's "survival" was due to interference from the Covenant's High Prophets of Truth and Regret, who both began to consolidate their loyal forces once Installation 04 was discovered on September 19, 2552. The few remaining Covenant ships at Tribute targeted human forces when able, with little interest, but otherwise simply waited for new orders and began moving orbital wreckage in preparation for a renewed campaign of the glassing of Tribute. However, when the Great Schism began on November 3, 2552, the Jiralhanae and Sangheili vessels then fought each other in orbit over Tribute and across the planet's skies. As the Covenant civil war led to the destruction of most Covenant vessels, Tribute's human survivors could only look on in confusion.模板:Ref/Reuse

战后

在行星上的战斗中，致敬星并没有被星盟完全夷为平地或玻璃化，[1]允许人类继续生活在它的表面。[15][16]然而，它的所有主要城市几乎都被完全摧毁，很少有工业场所毫发无损地幸存下来。超过一半的人口在战斗中丧生，地球无法立即对太阳系的废墟殖民地提供任何援助。尽管如此，殖民地幸存下来，足够的基础设施仍然完好无损，幸存者开始重建生态和经济。[1]

一系列的飞船墓园继续围绕着行星的北极运行;这些墓地是MJOLNIR Deadeye变体的试验场。[17]在某个时候，联合国海军陆战队部队测试了雷克斯VISR的原型，以追踪行星上的Jiralhanae顽固分子。在战争期间被击落的Ceudar型重型护卫舰Supplication of Purity的残骸将从该星球上回收，后来在Outpost Discovery展出。[18]在2555年至2558年之间，中央司令部第一区与星盟舰队残余部队进行谈判，奥林匹亚谷担任顾问。[19]到2558年，致敬星现在是UNSC海军主要造船厂的所在地，与环绕火星的造船厂一起建造新一代战舰。此外，在波江座ε星系和太阳系之间发现了一条新的滑流太空路线，并建立了一条贸易路线，卢瑟斯堡的小型外殖民地向致敬星和火星提供金属和稀土。[20]

Tribute was not completely razed or glassed by the Covenant during the battle on the planet,模板:Ref/Reuse allowing humans to continue living on its surface. However, all of its major cities were almost completely destroyed and few industrial sites survived unscathed. Over half of the population was killed in the battle and Earth was unable to spare any immediate assistance with colonies of the Sol system in ruins. Nevertheless, the colony survived, and enough infrastructure remained intact that survivors began rebuilding the ecology and economy.模板:Ref/Reuse

A series of ship graveyards continued to orbit the planet's northern pole; these graveyards served as the testing ground for the MJOLNIR Deadeye variant. At some point, prototypes of the Rex VISR were tested by UNSC Marines units to track down Jiralhanae holdouts on the planet. The wreckage of the 模板:Pattern Supplication of Purity, downed during the war, would be recovered from the planet and later displayed at Outpost Discovery. Between 2555 and 2558, Region One of Central Command entered negotiations with Covenant fleet remnants, with Olympia Vale serving as an advisor. By 2558, Tribute is now home to major shipbuilding yards of the UNSC Navy, building a new generation of warships along with the shipyards orbiting Mars. In addition, a new slipstream space route between Epsilon Eridani and Sol was discovered and established as a trade route, with the minor Outer Colony of Ruthersburg providing metals and rare earths to both Tribute and Mars.
