“From Fragments, We Forge. United by loyalty, driven by purpose.”
The Helion Covenant’s History
“From Fragments, We Forge.”
Upon reaching the Monolith, the team quickly discovered it was unlike anything they’d encountered before. Strange energy signatures, communications disruptions, and unexplained psychological effects plagued their efforts to explore the structure. Whispers, visions, and paranoia crept into the minds of the crew, pushing them toward chaos. What began as an exploration quickly unraveled into a desperate fight for survival. Cut off from UEE support, the team was left stranded, with members vanishing one by one amidst inexplicable events and equipment malfunctions. In the end, only a handful made it out.
When they returned to UEE space, they were met not with honor but with silence. The entire mission was classified, its survivors bound by secrecy and abandoned by the very government they had served. Disillusioned, a small group of those survivors eventually reunited, led by the former dropship pilot who had kept them alive. Together, they vowed to create an organization that would answer to no authority but its own and uphold loyalty to its members above all else. Thus, The Helion Covenant was born. Operating on the edges of lawful space, The Helion Covenant is more than a mercenary band—it is a family bound by a shared understanding of survival, loyalty, and purpose. The Covenant specializes in high-risk contracts that require precision, adaptability, and a willingness to venture into the unknown. Their creed, “From Fragments, We Forge,” reflects the spirit of unity they hold dear, a unity forged in the fires of betrayal and tempered by the determination to carve their own path.In The Helion Covenant, each member carries the weight of Helion—a reminder of the true cost of loyalty and the price of freedom
“We are the fragments forged into something greater.”
The Helion Covenant is an independent alliance of mercenaries, explorers, and survivors who defy the confines of corporate control and government neglect. We stand for loyalty, freedom, and resilience in a universe that often leaves its strongest behind. We are not beholden to the UEE, nor do we submit to the ambitions of megacorporations. Instead, we answer only to each other, united by bonds forged through hardship and guided by a purpose far beyond simple profit.Our Intentions We seek to build a haven for those who have been overlooked, betrayed, or cast aside. Our goal is to provide sanctuary and purpose to those who, like us, have faced the harsh truths of the ‘verse and emerged stronger for it. Within the Covenant, each member finds both camaraderie and a shared mission: to carve a new path, to support one another, and to survive—no matter the cost.
Our Motives The Covenant was born from the ashes of Operation Helion, a classified UEE mission abandoned and erased from official records. In the aftermath of that betrayal, our founders made a choice—to forge their own path, free from the chains of politics and greed. We fight for ourselves and for each other, not for empty promises from faceless entities.
We are driven by a desire to reclaim what was lost and to pursue the mysteries that others are too afraid to confront. Our missions take us to the edges of known space, to the frontiers where secrets lie buried, and to places where the faint-hearted fear to tread. We believe that true freedom is found in embracing the unknown and in standing by those who share our resolve.Our Views In the Helion Covenant, loyalty is earned, not demanded. We believe in respect, integrity, and the freedom to choose our own destinies. While others may see us as outlaws, renegades, or mercenaries, we know ourselves to be something more: a family bound not by blood, but by shared experience and purpose.
We do not seek conflict, but we are prepared for it. We honor our contracts, protect our own, and seek knowledge and opportunity in all things. We do not see the UEE as our enemy—only as a cautionary tale of power misused and trust betrayed. We operate in the shadows, away from prying eyes, yet we stand together in the light of our own truth. In The Helion Covenant, each member is part of something larger, something forged from fragments into unbreakable unity. Together, we pursue the mysteries of the ‘verse and face the challenges others shy away from. We are free, and we are united.This is our Covenant. This is our purpose. From fragments, we forge.
The Helion Covenant Charter The Helion Covenant is a collective of individuals bound by a shared experience of survival and a mutual understanding of freedom. We exist as a family forged from fragments—united not by the shackles of politics or corporate allegiance, but by a bond of trust and a common purpose. This Charter stands as the foundation of our organization, governing our conduct, structure, and mission as we chart our own path through the ‘verse.
