==Biography==
===Conscription===
"Beta-Romeo Actual" was of a genetic make-up that Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] regarded as desirable for the SPARTAN-II program. After being selected as a suitable candidate for the SPARTAN-II program in [[2517]], she was abducted and sent to [[Reach]], where she was specially trained to be a soldier by [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]] and the [[artificial intelligence]] construct [[Déja]].

In [[2525]], she and the other candidates underwent a [[Project ASTER|series of augmentations]] to improve their physical and mental abilities.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach'''</ref>

===Fall of Reach===
On August 30, 2552, Red Team was deployed to the surface of [[Reach]] from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. After their Pelican dropship, ''[[Bravo 001]]'', was shot down, the Spartans were forced to make a high-altitude jump to the ground, killing four of them. Upon regrouping, team leader [[Fred-104]] divided Red Team into four splinter groups, including the six-member Team Beta. 

Team Beta was then assigned to defend one of the planet's [[orbital defense generator]]s against the [[Covenant]]. As a force of 32 Covenant {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s and 260 infantry advanced toward a UNSC position, Beta-Romeo Actual ordered her team to move forward and engage the attackers in close combat. After the Spartans broke the Covenant assault wave, Beta-Romeo Actual instructed [[First Lieutenant]] [[Jake Chapman]] to withdraw his forces from the area. As the Spartans defended against two armored divisions, three [[Covenant cruiser]]s emerged from cloud cover and headed toward the UNSC position. 

Barely evading the cruisers, [[Pelican]] dropship pilot [[Iron Fist]] made a daring attempt to retrieve Beta-Red. However, [[Central Command]] ordered the destroyer {{UNSCShip|Majestic}} to bombard the approaching Covenant forces. ''Majestic'' then fired six [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds onto the target area.
