Beta Mu V

Pre-War
Beta Mu V, of the Beta Mu system respectively is the fifth planet from the host star. A former resource world for the UEG Beta Mu V was covered in Farms, mines, and shortly after a substantial population to man its industrial processes. As an outer colony, Beta Mu V did not last very long into the Human-Covenant War. As a Fringe colony Beta Mu V was glassed by the covenant in 2527.

Post-War
Following the end of the Human Covenant War Beta Mu V faded into the ashes of the hundreds of similar fringe and outer colonies which were finally beginning to cool after having their surfaces scorched by the Covenant war machines. It wasn't until 2557 that the UEG Pekko, a Shaman-Class Colony Ship was sent to the system to begin the process of terraforming the planet to be habitable again.

UEG Pekko Incident
The UEG Pekko arrived in the Beta Mu system February 6th, 2557 and shortly thereafter its three escorts to include the UNSC Cool-Spirit, UNSC Favorable Winds, and UNSC Unhinged were reported lost with all hands in an emergency data burst sent from the Pekko. Being picked up by nearby patrols and relayed to HighCom the UNSC contact Commander Larose of the UNSC Call to Valor in the Jaeter system was the closest ship to the system to investigate the incident with the help of the Jaeteran Defense Forces. Cooporative the strike force was able to locate the remains of the escort craft however the UEG Pekko remained lost when the pelican transport carrying the ground team was shot down by an unknown anti-air weapon. With a minority of the pelican's crew surviving the crash they were reinforced by a Spartan sent via orbital incursion pod from a nearby O.N.I. Prowler. The ground team now being lead by the Spartan began the long trek towards the enemy AA gun while in close orbit of the planet the Jaeter Rescue party, and ONI Prowler attempted to regain contact with the ground team.
