Beta Gabriel

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 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.
