Helios, a temperate world, orbits an uncharted sun on the fringe of the Koprulu Sector. It houses a set of overgrown ancient ruins, remainders of a war waged by a long-dead civilization. The ruins feature a pyramid and a crypt. A khaydarin crystal lies beneath the ruins. Uncovered by torrential rains that frequent the summer years, the ruins became exposed, once again igniting the battle for the crystal.[2]

Crown Prince Valerian Mengsk opened a veteran's hospital on the planet on the eve of the Second Great War.[3][4]
