![]() Eventually, the team intercept and kill Lente when he tries to deal with them personally. With each staggering blow, Adams' position is undermined by his increasing failures to eliminate Jan and his team. Under Jan's leadership, the team destroys several Helghast bases and infrastructure projects. Adams murders Vaughton and takes control of the defense network, planning to use it to destroy the relief fleet headed to Vekta. He also recruits the services of Rico Velasquez, an ISA gunner seeking revenge for the massacre of his entire platoon.Īfter rescuing Hakha, the team discovers that General Stuart Adams, the overseer for SD network, is secretly working for Lente and was responsible for sabotaging Vekta's defenses. After fighting his way through the Helghast occupying the exterior of Central Command, Jan runs into Luger, a former comrade who is now working with an elite ISA division known as the Shadow Marshals. As Hakha is the only individual with knowledge of how the invasion bypassed SD, he assigns Jan to locate him. He also reveals that Colonel Gregor Hakha, a half-Helghan intelligence officer, had, on his orders, infiltrated the inner circle of Third Army commander General Joseph Lente, only to vanish while traveling to an extraction point in Vekta's slums. Vaughton discloses that the ISA has requested assistance from the UCN and are working to restore the defense network. While taking part in an offensive to slow the Helghast assault, Captain Jan Templar, a veteran ISA officer, is summoned to a meeting by his mentor and close friend, General Bradley Vaughton. With the element of surprise on their side, the Helghast quickly overwhelm the unprepared ISA ground forces and capture several strategic locations, including ISA Central Command. Alerted to the attack, the ISA attempt to prevent it with their SD (Solar Defense) network, but are unable to activate it in time to stop the invaders. Scolar Visari, emperor of Helghan, sends the Helghast Third Army to launch a secret invasion of Vekta. Watch out while reading this, or don't at all, until you know what's coming. Violently xenophobic and convinced of their superiority, the Helghan consider humans to be beneath them, and dream of one day reconquering Vekta and expanding their empire to Earth and the neighboring star systems. Eventually, the population, now known as the Helghast, mutated into pale-skinned hairless humanoids with increased strength, stamina, and intelligence. The harsh environment and atmosphere killed many Helghans, forcing the survivors to use respirators and air tanks just to breathe. In response, the exiled colonists established their own civilization on Helghan, built on the principles of militarism and authoritarianism. The Helghan Corporation sought to buy ownership of Vekta as well, but when the UCN imposed sanctions against its unfair business practices, a war broke out (known as the First Extrasolar War), which led to the ISA, the military arm of the UCN, driving the company out of Vekta. Partnering with private firms, the UCN moved to establish human colonies in Alpha Centauri, a system occupied by two planets: Vekta, a rich Earth-like world (named after the CEO of the mining conglomerate Helghan, Philip Vekta), and Helghan, a barren wasteland named after the same company. After nuclear war rendered much of the Earth uninhabitable in 2055, world governments formed an international order known as the United Colonial Nations. Killzone is set in an era of space colonization set in the year 2357. Can you survive the Helghast assault and halt the march towards all-out war, or will you be just another faceless casualty in unmarked grave?" ―Game description As a skilled member of an ISA squad, you find yourself in the middle of the desperate conflict. The peaceful colony of Vekta becomes the first victim of Helghan's retribution, quickly falling under enemy control in a bloody blitzkrieg that leaves thousands dead or injured. The ruthless, militaristic Helghast secede from the ISA, conspiring to wage war against them. Those that survive become stronger, and develop a burning hatred for the alliance that sent them to the accursed planet in the first place. On the planet Helghan, colonists find themselves warped by the poisonous atmosphere. But behind the smiling façade of galactic growth, unrest is growing. New colonies are formed under the Earth-loyal banner of the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance. " In the near future, mankind takes to the stars and begins a halcyon period of planetary colonization.
