The '''Battle of Beta Gabriel''' was a land battle that took place on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] of [[Beta Gabriel]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] in [[2552]], shortly after the [[Fall of Reach]].<ref name="stomp">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss]]''</ref> | |||

When Ceretus finally confronted Parabum, the prisoners attempted to escape. However, the only two prisoners to escape were Brien and Geradvim. From what he'd witnessed, Brien was convinced that there was no way the UNSC could ever use the Jiralhanae and instead thought ONI would be more interested in learning how the Covenant kept them under control. Upon arriving at Brien's camp, Gevadim shot Brien with his own [[M6 Series|M6 pistol]]. Shortly afterward, the Calypso arrived, and with it a recon team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, including [[Kojo Agu]]. They killed the remaining Jiralhanae, and upon discovering there were apparently no human survivors, left. Gevadim stayed alone in seclusion on Beta Gabriel. | When Ceretus finally confronted Parabum, the prisoners attempted to escape. However, the only two prisoners to escape were Brien and Geradvim.

Despite the loss of the colony and one of ONI's best agents, the battle was a tactical victory for the UNSC - although the colony was destroyed and no intelligence on the Jiralhanae was gained, the ODST reinforcements drove off the attacking Covenant. | Despite the loss of the colony and one of ONI's best agents, the battle was a tactical victory for the UNSC - although the colony was destroyed and no intelligence on the Jiralhanae was gained, the ODST reinforcements drove off the attacking Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|stomp}} | ||
