When the Covenant fleet arrived at [[Reach]], [[Chieftain]] [[Parabum]], upon seeing the size and strength of the defending human forces, deserted. He ordered his ship, the ''[[Valorous Salvation]]'', to retreat to Beta Gabriel, a small world with a population of about five hundred civilians. The deserters immediately set down and attacked the planet's only town, and communications with the planet's port [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] were lost. A few civilians were armed but they were quickly killed by the invaders, who took many humans captive. After human resistance ended, Parabum decided it was best to stay on the planet and the Jiralhanae ate the Unggoy troops they brought with them and then turned to eating human captives. One Jiralhanae, [[Maladus]], challenged Parabum's rule but was quickly killed. This created high tensions in the Jiralhanae ranks, as they were made up of two rival clans: one, led by Parabum, and another, led by Maladus and his brother [[Ceretus]]. Ceretus swore revenge on Parabum for killing his brother. | When the Covenant fleet arrived at [[Reach]], [[Chieftain]] [[Parabum]], upon seeing the size and strength of the defending human forces, deserted.
