Template:Ratings Beta Gabriel was a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. It is 14 million kilometers from Reach, practically next door. In 2552, during the Battle of Reach, Captain Jacob Keyes ordered Ensign William Lovell to plot a slingshot orbit around Beta Gabriel to take the Pillar of Autumn back in-system, towards the battle, after the ship had exhausted its energy reserves while destroying a Covenant Assault Carrier.[1] Due to its close proximity to Reach, it is likely that Beta Gabriel was either not inhabited by a permanent population in the first place or was also glassed by Covenant forces.
