The Helios system was an independent Periphery world from the mid-thirty-first to the early thirty-second centuries.
System Description[edit]
Helios is located near the Islington and Thraxa systems and lies in the unclaimed territory between the Magistracy of Canopus and Marian Hegemony, rimward and anti-spinward of Terra.[1]
System History[edit]
The Helios system was either settled at some point during the FedCom Civil War,[2][3][4] or was an already-inhabited system that became significant enough during this period for Inner Sphere nations to begin recording its location on maps. Helios vanished from maps during the Dark Age,[1][5] indicating that the system had either been abandoned, depopulated, or rendered too insignificant to merit further recording.

Planetary History[edit]
In 3066, the Manei Domini made their first appearance on Helios contesting the Wolf Spiders. This action cost the Dragoons two full Stars and a squad of commandos to terrorist-style suicide bombings before they cleared out the cell. Included in the casualties was a Dragoon Captain referred to only as "The MechWarrior."[23][24][25]
