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.
