Planet Helghan was placed on trade sanctions by the ISA in which Vekta profited off from the planet's rich mineral resources at the expense of reinvestment on Helghan. After a century, due to genetic conditioning and the planet's harsh environment, the third generation of indigenous Helghan were biologically adapted to the harsh conditions, becoming the now-mutated Helghast. Life for the settlers were brutal, as many early settlers died to illness, storm damage and starvation within two years until the death subsided as the Helghan adapted to their surroundings and collectivized their resources and labor to rebuild their civilization under a reformed Helghan Administration. Settlements were set up on Helghan's surface during 2215 to 2220, and the Helghan Administration was reformed to rebuild Helghan civilization. Planet Helghan became the destination of many Helghan loyalists who left Vekta to escape ISA occupation beginning in 2204 and ending by 2210. įollowing the war, the Helghan Administration was dissolved and the system was put under direct ISA administration. During the battle many of the orbital facilities surrounding Helghan were destroyed, including the main hub which was home to the shipbuilding and management of the Helghan industries. The Helghan fleet fought the UCA Navy over Helghan, but were no match for the superior UCA Navy ships.

In 2200, the First Extrasolar War broke out in Alpha Centauri between the Helghan Administration and the United Colonial Nations. Shipbuilding also became an industry of Helghan, and became the largest of its kind outside of Earth.

Orbital facilities began to grow around Helghan in the following years, and the Helghan Corporation made good profits from the production of energy on Helghan, which was sold to ships which passed through the system. The planet was deemed uninhabitable due to hazardous dust and lightning storms, so the Helghan Corporation chose to deploy a prefabricated space station in its orbit to manage automated facilities on the surface. The Helghan Corporation's colonization fleet first reached Helghan when they entered Alpha Centauri in 2127, and named it after their company.
