Beta Colony is an important planet (although rarely the setting) in Lois McMaster Bujold's science fiction series the Vorkosigan Saga. The planet's biome is almost entirely desert, described as "screaming hot," and the colony itself exists primarily underground.
The concept of Beta Colony was first created and introduced in "Dreamweaver's Dilemma." The idea was later expanded upon in Shards of Honor when Bujold needed a homeworld for Cordelia Naismith.
