In a matter of hours, two thirds of the planet fell to the invaders, including the planetary capital, Vekta City. The Helghast military invaded the UCN's breadbasket, Vekta, in August of 2357. Agreeing to Visari's ten year proposal, the Army would be at the center of the new Helghan Empire's efforts, enlarging the military and transforming the nation from a starving and impoverished refugee world into a galactic superpower, and the greatest threat to the United Colonial Nations. In 2347, the Army lend in their support of Scolar Visari in overthrowing the Administration in a successful military coup. Intervening Years Īt some point after the resettlement of Helghan, the reformed Helghan Administration established a standing army to protect itself and enforce its authority. Eventually, the corporate forces were brutally routed by the combined forces of the more technologically superior UCA and ISA in 2202. However, they were unable to eliminate the ISA, which many of their forces have escaped in the initial fighting and conducted hit-and-run operations against the corporate forces. ĭuring the outbreak of the First Extrasolar War, the Helghan corporate forces relied on overwhelming numbers against the ISA contingent garrisoning the system.

Because of this, the Helghan Militia were less experienced and under-equipped than their ISA counterparts, and limited to only customs, police and ceremonial duties. As the militias were not directly part of the ISA or UCN/UCA chain of command, the ISA imposed strict limitations on their size and equipment, and having their officers provided by the ISA. The early Helghan Corporation militias was founded in coincidence with the establishment of the Helghan Protectorate in 2138.
