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]]. By October all the forces were in place for the operation to commence.<ref name=WoR55-6>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 55–56</ref> 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 pushed on capturing [[Botany Bay]], [[Von Strang's World]], and [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] in a second wave of attacks.<ref name=WoR71>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 71</ref> In October Beta took [[Last Chance]] and recaptured Lackhove.<ref name=WoR72>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 72</ref> The Falcon counterattack by [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Gamma Galaxy]] hammered Beta.
