Beta team was a group in Terran Confederation Fleet Intel. After 2 similar failed attempts of the last 3 months, the team was assembled in the eve of the Terran-Kilrathi War to slip into Kilrathi Empire space near the Ingraya system in order to set up a listening post. During the process they were killed, raising the number of failed attempts to 3. The narrative mentions that 30 people were lost, but it is not clear how many if all, belonged to Beta team; possibly each team was assembled of 10 people.
