BERCOL

(A-6: SEEK-LOCATE-DESTROY / B-6: TRIAL)

In Seek-Locate-Destroy Bercol was referred to as a Councillor by Servalan, whereas in Trial he named himself as Senator Bercol, head of the Information Bureau and ex officio member of the High Council.
In Seek-Locate-Destroy
In Trial He presumably died, along with everyone else in the courtroom, following Blake's attack on Servalan's headquarters. On both occasions he was in the company of the President's personal secretary, Rontane, and in Seek-Locate-Destroy Servalan wished him a "safe journey back to Earth".

BERG

(B-5: PRESSURE POINT)

A member of Kasabi's resistance group on Earth. He died with Arle after penetrating too far into the Forbidden Zone, falling victim to the high intensity radiation grid.

BERSHAR

(C-3: VOLCANO)

Resident of Obsidian, son of First Citizen Hower, and responsible for the defence of the planet. He was less than committed to his father's ideals and liaised with Servalan in helping her gain control of the Liberator, believing her strength was necessary to the Pyroans" long-term survival. He handed Dayna and Tarrant over to Mori, although he refused to let them be killed out of hand. He was eventually killed on Hower's orders, suffering a lethal dose of an anaesthetic vapour.

Hower said that Bershar as a child was described as being "at risk" by a therapist.

BETA 5

(D-10: GOLD)

A planet in the Ark Rough Bennett Complex, and the site of Keiller's rendezvous with Servalan. Although the planet was uninhabited, the atmosphere was breathable and some surface vegetation was visible. Scorpio landed on Beta 5, and Avon, Tarrant, Dayna and Soolin remained on the surface, where they met Servalan and four guards. Servalan left Keiller's body behind when she departed with the gold from the Space Princess.

BETA CLASS ASTEROID

(C-4: DAWN OF THE GODS)

The remains of a beta class asteroid were found on Crandor. According to Orac, all the naturally occurring minerals were present, with the exception of herculanium.

BETAFARL

(D-12: WARLORD)

Frontier planet, ruled by Zukan. Betafarl was said by Zukan to have perpetual day (perhaps one hemisphere always faced the sun). Zukan claimed that a plant growing wild there could provide an antitoxin to pylene-50, though this claim was never seen to be substantiated. The planet was visited by Avon and Tarrant, and it was then that Tarrant first met Zeeona. Scorpio made a later visit, carrying Avon and Soolin. Flight time from Xenon was noted as thirty hours, suggesting that the two worlds were not very far apart. Scorpio made a surface landing on Betafarl.

BETA GRADE

(B-3: WEAPON)

Coser was described as a Beta class technician, though he referred to himself as Beta grade. This may reflect either the overall social grading system implied by comments from Vila in Shadow, or an internal grade within the technical services. See GRADE.

BETA REGION

(B-10: VOICE FROM THE PAST)

Area of space where Asteroid P-K118 was abandoned once urite ore mining ceased.

BIG WHEEL

(B-11: GAMBIT)

The largest casino in Freedom City, making Krantor a profit of four million credits a week. It was fixed by a computer at 5% in favour of the House, something which Avon and Vila exploited through Orac's abilities to read computers. After seven wins in a row Vila was half a million credits up, and Krantor was forced to close the Wheel when Vila's winnings reached five million credits. Vila was seen to place bets on 15 black and 14 red.

BIG ZERO

see OUTER DARKNESS
