'''Beta Centauri''' is a double star in the constellation [[Wikipedia:Centaurus|Centaurus]], that forms one of the points in the [[Wikipedia:Crux|Southern Cross]] constellation. Located 350 light years from [[Sol system|Sol]], it is the furthest known human colonized system. The system is known for exports and a good vintage of [[list of food and drinks|champagne]]. It is unknown what other roles this colony played during its existence, or if it was even a battleground, or if the colony was at all glassed.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 83''</ref>

==Trivia==
A reference to a [[list of food and drinks|champagne]] of a "Beta Centauri vintage" was made in the original edition of ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', implying the system had been colonized by humanity.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach (2001)''', ''page 83''</ref> "Beta Centauri" was [[List of rectified inconsistencies in the Halo series|changed]] to "[[Procyon]]" in the 2010 edition of the novel.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach (2010)''', ''page 104''</ref> This is likely due to the fact the system is situated well beyond the known sphere of influence of humanity and thus unlikely to house a colony.
*It is unusual how far away this colony world is; given the slow velocities UNSC ships can travel in slipspace, it could take many years to reach this system.
