Beta Galaxy was frequently targeted by various Clans during the [[Harvest Trials|Harvest Wars]], leading to constant attrition of its forces. This was compounded by a loss of morale when then commander [[saKhan]] Sellen [[Cage (Bloodname)|Cage]] lost his [[Trial of Grievance]] against [[Khan]] [[Asa Taney]] in [[3065]]. Low morale continued to be a problem in the Galaxy until [[3067]] when its new Commander, saKhan [[Conner Rood]] actively worked to restore it.<ref name=FMCRC85>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 85: "Beta Galaxy Profile"</ref><ref name=FMU47>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 47: "Beta Galaxy status & brief history; saKhan Rood worked with aide for two years to rebuild esprit de corps".</ref>

In [[3070]] the Galaxy move to [[Nouveaux Paris]], arriving in September. Here it began preparations for the Hellion assault on the Inner Sphere, along with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Galaxy]], [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta Galaxy]] and [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Galaxy]].

The Galaxy along with Zeta formed the Hellion secondary force under Conner Rood tasked with securing the Periphery border. The force captured [[Anywhere]], [[Somerset]], [[Erewhon]], [[Bone-Norman]], and [[Lackhove]]. On Bone-Norman the Falcons' [[11th Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|11th Provisional Garrison Cluster]] ambushed the 200th Assault Cluster almost killing the saKhan before the world was taken. However the counterattack by the [[Jade Falcon Guards (Clan Jade Falcon)|Falcon Guards]] swiftly retook Bone-Norman from Beta Galaxy.<ref name=WoR69-70>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 69–70</ref>

Beta Galaxy retreated to the [[Dark Nebula]],<ref name=WoR84>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 84</ref> SaKhan Rood had two Clusters left to him, one from Beta and the [[3rd Hector Cavaliers (Clan Ice Hellion)|Third Hector Cavaliers]] from Zeta Galaxy. When a combined Jade Falcon and Hell's Horses task force moved against the system the remaining Hellion naval assets were swept aside. Sakhan Rood accepted ''[[hegira]]'' and the remnants of the Galaxy retreated from the [[Inner Sphere]] in April [[3072]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 30</ref><ref name=WoR85>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85</ref>

Beta Galaxy was boosted by the arrival of roughly a cluster of warriors from the fallen Alpha and Zeta Prime Galaxies that had also been granted ''hegira''. Rood cobbled these together into a makeshift fighting force and retreated towards the Kerensky Cluster. However on the trip back they were ambushed by [[Clan Burrock]]'s [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Burrock)|Zeta Galaxy]] resulting in the loss of three of their five JumpShips. In December the Galaxy eventually arrived at [[Hector (system)|Hector]].<ref name=WoR98>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 98</ref>
