H.E.L.M.

The H.E.L.M. or Hub for Emergency Logistics and Maneuvers is a Vanguard operations outpost set up on a large ship, originally docked within a hangar of The Last City.

It is staffed by Vanguard Frames and opened shortly after the Arrival of the Black Fleet. It first came into operation to deal with the arrival of Empress Caiatl's fleet in the Sol System.

War Table


The centerpiece of the H.E.L.M., the war table offers real-time tactical information on the current conflict the Vanguard is monitoring. A terminal on the table can be used to read messages and receive incoming transmissions from Vanguard agents for briefings and reports from the field. Members of Vanguard task forces frequently meet at the war table to discuss ongoing operations.

Umbral Decoder
Confiscated from Drifter by the Cryptarchy, the Umbral Decoder and Prismatic Recaster have been refined and studied by the Cryptarchs in their ongoing effort to further understand Umbral Engrams which began to appear after the Black Fleet arrived.

Other Features
The H.E.L.M. has a post box for items lost in the field for recovery, along with a terminal for accessing a Guardian's Vault. Additionally, a terminal containing intercepted messages and Vanguard reports is near the post box.

Eliksni Wing


"Guardian, I greet you in the Light. It is I, Misraaks... or "Mithrax," as your people say. I speak to you through a Servitor..."

- Mithrax, Kell of Light

The Eliksni Wing was the main operational hub for the House of Light located within the H.E.L.M. It prominently housed the Splicer Servitor which was modified to supply Ether to their encampment.

Awoken Wing
The Awoken Wing was the main operational hub for the Reefborn Awoken within the H.E.L.M. It prominently housed the Wayfinder's Compass, a portal to Mara Sov's chambers and was guarded by a number of Corsairs.

Psisorium
This wing of the HELM was a former containment unit for all Hive lieutenants of the Lucent Brood, shut down after the success of Operation Elbrus in stopping the capturing of the Moon by the Lucent Hive.

Crown of Sorrow Quarantine Wing
This wing houses the Crown of Sorrow and is outfitted with heavy quarantine equipment and a decontamination unit at the entrance with two Imperial Guard Legionaries right outside. Egregore can be seen around this wing inside the quarantined area, plus a Hive Tombship. The Tombship serves as a containment unit for the Crown of Sorrow, in the event it needs to be transported, or ejected from the H.E.L.M should it grow too strong to contain.

As the Guardians make progress in severing Calus's connections to the Lunar Pyramid, the egregore begins to spread outside of the quarantined area the crown is placed in. By the time of the final severance ritual, the dark flora had spread to the Quarantine Wing's entrance.
