Beta Island is a large island in the Sapphire Archipelago. There are three known routes from the island: Remora Island, Verdant Atoll, and Iris Island. There is also one extinct route from the island: The Horseshoe Crabs.
Beta Island is also home to Piggy Morten, a pig. Since the advent of pets, you can usually find Water Sheeps and Baa Baa (the black sheep) wandering around as well.

History
The name "Beta," like all of the Midnight Ocean's capital islands, comes from a Greek letter: Beta (Β β).
The Beta Island monument is located directly northwest of the palace.
Colonization
Beta was colonized in October 2004 by Water Sleeps under the leadership of Queen Kestrel. The blockade was contested by Allied Foundation, and spanned October 9th and 10th.
The main phase of building construction finished in January 2005. Water Sleeps celebrated this by throwing the One Million Poe Beta Blast party in February 2005, giving away a full one million poe in cash and prizes (including the deed to a weavery shoppe, which is now Mouse on the Loom).
Blockades
- Beta I 2004.10.09 Water Sleeps won contested also by Allied Foundation
- Beta II 2007.07.07 successfully defeated Black Veil
- Beta III 2007.10.27 successfully defeated Fleet of his Imperial Scaled Highness
