The Helios system is an independent system in the rimward and anti-spinward region of the Periphery.[1]

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.[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."[22][23][24]
