"During your travels, you must try to find out, discreetly, what the Empire wants with, say, the Beta System. Are there valuable resources in the system? Is it a strategic port? Does some important personage visit there on holiday? Does the Grand Moff of the sector particularly enjoy one of the local wines?"
―Airen Cracken[1]

Beta system was a generic code used by the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War to designate star systems with a Galactic Empire presence. General Airen Cracken used the system as an example while briefing new Rebel agents.[1]

Behind the scenes

Jason Fry, co-author of The Essential Atlas, indicated in June 2015 that the Beta system was excluded from The Essential Atlas Online Companion because it was an imaginary location used as an example.[2]
