| + | == Planetary History == | ||
| + | ===Early History=== | ||
| + | Settled during the early exodus from [[Terra]], by the [[twenty-forth century]] Helen was already a wealthy independent world. Shortly after Helen signed a mutual defense pact with the nearby worlds of [[Errai]] and [[Quentin]] it was targetted for conquest by [[Director-General]] [[James McKenna]] of the newly-formed Terran Hegemony. Having secured his hold over all of the worlds within the rump state of the [[Terran Alliance]], McKenna began a "Campaign of Persuasion" to bring other former Alliance worlds and independent worlds into the Hegemony through military force, and the three allied worlds of Errai, Helen, and Quentin were his first targets.<ref name="SLSBp16">''The Star League'', p. 16, "Terra's Errant Flock"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | McKenna attacked the Helen system with a large fleet of [[WarShip]]s, and despite knowing that there was little chance of resisting the invasion, the leaders of each of the three allied worlds planned to teach McKenna a lesson; all three worlds converted fleets of cargo and interplanetary courier ships into fighting vessels by adding lasers and missile tubes to battle in space, and all three worlds beefed up their ground forces with large militia forces of trained personnel augmented by volunteers. The colonists on Helen fought a dogged, even fanatical, campaign of resistance against the [[Terran Hegemony|Hegemony Armed Forces]] before finally being conquered, and the resistance offered by those on Helen taught the HAF a number of harsh lessons.<ref name="SLSBp16"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Amaris Civil War=== | ||
| + | Like the vast majority of the worlds within the Terran Hegemony, Helen was occupied by forces loyal to [[Stefan Amaris]] following his coup on the 27th of December [[2766]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p88"/><ref name="H:LoTV1p80">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 80, "Cometh Hell's Legions"</ref> The subsequent occupation was very harsh for the local population; a planet with a huge artistic community, Helen was assigned the [[Burning Tygers]] [[mercenary unit]] as a part of their garrison. The Burning Tygers proceeded to loot and ransack the artistic community, killing upwards of one hundred thousand innocent civilians during the occupation; with Amaris' government exercising almost complete control over the [[HPG]] network and news channels, the desperate cries for help from the population of Helen went unheard as they suffered at the hands of the Tygers.<ref name="H:LoTV1p88"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Helen was targeted for liberation by the [[Star League Defense Force]] during [[Operation CHIEFTAIN]], and was one of three worlds assigned to the [[9th Army (Star League)|Ninth Army]], operating as a part of the [[21st Army Group (SLDF)|Twenty-first Army Group]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p119">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 119, "SLDF Order of Battle Operation CHIEFTAIN 14 July 2772"</ref> Helen was one of [[Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s favourite spots to visit, which likely played a part in the urgency with which [[XXXIV Corps (Star League)|XXXIV Corps]] moved to liberate the planet in September [[2772]], having already liberated [[Mallory's World]]. XXXIV Corps arrived to find Helen in ruins, thanks the depredations of the Burning Tygers. The Tygers and the garrison forces they led had massacred any of the relatively small local population who dared to try and protest or resist their systematic looting of the world, including razing entire cities. When XXXIV Corps discovered what had happened, they pursued the Tygers and their allies with no offer of quarter or mercy, hunting them down and wiping them out. XXXIV Corps then remained on Helen into the first half of [[2773]], offering assistance and relief to the population while laying the groundwork for an attack on [[Quentin]] and waiting for the arrival of [[XLI Corps (Star League)|XLI Corps]].<ref name="H:LoTV1p136">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 136, "Combine Front"</ref> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Helen was annexed by the Draconis Combine in [[2786]], one of two former Hegemony worlds to be annexed that year, and one of the last to be seized before the [[First Succession War]] erupted with full force.<ref name="FSWp27"/> | ||
| + | |||
| + | === The Dark Age === | ||
| + | During the [[Dark Age]] the diverse underwater ecology found on Helen formed the basis of Helen's economy, with tourism being the major industry. Many scientific surveys had also taken place on Helen, investigating the aquatic lifeforms.<ref name=DARWp52/> | ||

| + | == Geography == | ||
| + | Helen has two continents, Joppa and Persephonie, and deep oceans which have a wide variety of undersea life. The most well-known of these is the [[Great Helenic Whale]], a sharklike predator that can grow to four times the size of the Great White Shark on [[Terra]]. (Though named a whale, it's not actually a mammal.)<ref name=DARWp52/> | ||

The Helen system was the location of at least one habitable world, Helen V, and as at 3145 was located in the Al Na'ir Prefecture of the Dieron Military District within the Draconis Combine.[2][3]
Contents
System Description
The Helen system is located near the Errai and Pokhara systems[4] and consists of a class M0V primary orbited by seven worlds.[1]
System History
The Helen system was colonised during or shortly after the First Exodus from Terra[5] and was incorporated into or annexed by the Terran Hegemony prior to the beginning of the Age of War.[6]
Helen V
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard
Helen V - more commonly known simply as Helen - is the fifth planet in the system.[1]
Planetary History
Early History
Settled during the early exodus from Terra, by the twenty-forth century Helen was already a wealthy independent world. Shortly after Helen signed a mutual defense pact with the nearby worlds of Errai and Quentin it was targetted for conquest by Director-General James McKenna of the newly-formed Terran Hegemony. Having secured his hold over all of the worlds within the rump state of the Terran Alliance, McKenna began a "Campaign of Persuasion" to bring other former Alliance worlds and independent worlds into the Hegemony through military force, and the three allied worlds of Errai, Helen, and Quentin were his first targets.[5]
McKenna attacked the Helen system with a large fleet of WarShips, and despite knowing that there was little chance of resisting the invasion, the leaders of each of the three allied worlds planned to teach McKenna a lesson; all three worlds converted fleets of cargo and interplanetary courier ships into fighting vessels by adding lasers and missile tubes to battle in space, and all three worlds beefed up their ground forces with large militia forces of trained personnel augmented by volunteers. The colonists on Helen fought a dogged, even fanatical, campaign of resistance against the Hegemony Armed Forces before finally being conquered, and the resistance offered by those on Helen taught the HAF a number of harsh lessons.[5]
Amaris Civil War
Like the vast majority of the worlds within the Terran Hegemony, Helen was occupied by forces loyal to Stefan Amaris following his coup on the 27th of December 2766.[7][8] The subsequent occupation was very harsh for the local population; a planet with a huge artistic community, Helen was assigned the Burning Tygers mercenary unit as a part of their garrison. The Burning Tygers proceeded to loot and ransack the artistic community, killing upwards of one hundred thousand innocent civilians during the occupation; with Amaris' government exercising almost complete control over the HPG network and news channels, the desperate cries for help from the population of Helen went unheard as they suffered at the hands of the Tygers.[7]
Helen was targeted for liberation by the Star League Defense Force during Operation CHIEFTAIN, and was one of three worlds assigned to the Ninth Army, operating as a part of the Twenty-first Army Group.[9] Helen was one of Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky's favourite spots to visit, which likely played a part in the urgency with which XXXIV Corps moved to liberate the planet in September 2772, having already liberated Mallory's World. XXXIV Corps arrived to find Helen in ruins, thanks the depredations of the Burning Tygers. The Tygers and the garrison forces they led had massacred any of the relatively small local population who dared to try and protest or resist their systematic looting of the world, including razing entire cities. When XXXIV Corps discovered what had happened, they pursued the Tygers and their allies with no offer of quarter or mercy, hunting them down and wiping them out. XXXIV Corps then remained on Helen into the first half of 2773, offering assistance and relief to the population while laying the groundwork for an attack on Quentin and waiting for the arrival of XLI Corps.[10]
Helen was annexed by the Draconis Combine in 2786, one of two former Hegemony worlds to be annexed that year, and one of the last to be seized before the First Succession War erupted with full force.[11]
The Dark Age
During the Dark Age the diverse underwater ecology found on Helen formed the basis of Helen's economy, with tourism being the major industry. Many scientific surveys had also taken place on Helen, investigating the aquatic lifeforms.[1]

Geography
Helen has two continents, Joppa and Persephonie, and deep oceans which have a wide variety of undersea life. The most well-known of these is the Great Helenic Whale, a sharklike predator that can grow to four times the size of the Great White Shark on Terra. (Though named a whale, it's not actually a mammal.)[1]
Planetary Locations
- Aquanis: a large floating scientific outpost that sailed Helen's seas performing various studies during the Star League era. During the Succession Wars, Aquanis sank beneath the waves. During the Dark Age the underwater ruins were a popular tourist attraction.[1]
- Konstance, the planetary capital city.[1]
Local Fauna
- Great Helenic Whale
- Mottled Lemur (thought to be not native to Helen)
