The Beta Gabriel Campaign was relatively minor and unimportant, especially when compared to the simultaneous actions ongoing throughout the rest of the Epsilon Eridani system, such as Reach or Tribute. A single Covenant ship arrived at Beta Gabriel, landed, and dispatched troops - mostly Jiralhanae - who proceeded to ravage the small planet's human population. The Jiralhanae present eventually turned first on their lesser troops and then on each other, leaving them open to the UNSC counterattack. While the UNSC was able to destroy all Covenant forces on Beta Gabriel, most of inhabitants had already been massacred, and the strategic value of the planet was essentially nil. Thus, marine forces were withdrawn from Beta Gabriel, effectively abandoning the planet.
