Tài Sum

Tài Sum was a small city located on Installation 05 following it's Colonization at the climax of the First Human-Covenant War. It was the first city of the ring to begin construction and the first one complete. Unlike the other cities of the ring, it did not become a massive megapolis like city (mostly due to the Battle it became involved in that ended in it's destruction). Unlike Sagawitchewan and Scotsguard it only had a population made of Humans and Sangheli.

Role
The Role of Tài Sum was for the most part, built upon fishing and other similar commerical seafood industries once said creatures were imported and introduced to the Halo Ring. As such, it's culture was heavily based upon this and it became the center of the seafood industry on Delta Halo.

Battle of Tài Sum
In 2564, Tài Sum became the target of an early attack from a fleet of Brute forces that managed to get through the heavy defenses of the ring. The Fleet attacked the small settlement by storm, some of their ships even using cleansing beams on parts of the city while soldiers and other war machines took care of the rest. This went on until UNSC and Separtist forces finally overcame the Brute attackers. In total, only few buildings even slightly remained, and only roughly 300 Sangheli and 100 Humans survived the surprise attack. This battle was not a part of the Second Human-Covenant war that would happen following a later battle on the ring, but did start the UNSC career of Brandon-G229 and lead to security being slightly more thorough. Tài Sum is currently undergoing extensive reconstruction efforts as of 2566.
