Helios System

The Helios system is a planetary system in the [United Empire of Earth (UEE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VyvyKxy4v6-united-empire-of-earth), consisting of a peculiar main sequence B-type star, three terrestrial planets, and a gas giant. It was discovered in 2529 by a group of outlaws known as the Daybreak Marauders, who used it as a launching point for their frequent raids on convoys in the [Ellis system](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RxnBEBWBjQ-ellis-system). That same year, it was officially annexed by the [United Planets of Earth (UPE)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0QxBjKP2PN-united-planets-of-earth) when [Advocacy](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/VDoP5pmODk-advocacy) agents Avon Dorville and Gia Trask tracked the Daybreak Marauders to their hidden jump point in the Taranis system. The system's most populated planet, [Tangaroa (Helios II)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RX3rnQ3XqM-tang), has a brackish water ocean that gives rise to waves hundreds of meters high.
