Hellas

Hellas was a human colony world of the Unified Earth Government.

History
Hellas was established as a UEG colony in the Minos system in the year 2458.

During the Insurrection, Hellas, along with the colony Fumirole, harbored insurrectionists who were known to utilize rumbledrugs in a vainglorious attempt to fight SPARTAN-IIs. Unencumbered by the body's normal safety limits, subjects were capable of feats of enormous strength, but the subsequent lack of control and mental instability together with the immediate physiological damage meant that users often died long before they ever laid hands on an actual Spartan.

The planet was later glassed in 2541 during the Human-Covenant War.

Trivia
The colony is likely named after the Hellenic Republic (commonly known as Greece), a nation located on Earth.
