Project Helios ICBM

The Helios Intercontinental Ballistic Missile is a two-stage strategic weapon system developed in 2262 during the height of the Europa War. Engineered for unparalleled range and destructive capability, it represents the pinnacle of 23rd-century missile technology.

The first stage employs a massive solid-fuel booster, delivering immense initial thrust to propel the missile beyond the lower atmosphere. Once separated, the second stage activates its Pixie engine, a highly efficient liquid propulsion system optimized for deep-space trajectories and precision targeting.

Though never deployed in actual combat, the Helios remains infamous for its unmatched explosive payload, capable of leveling entire megastructures or destabilizing planetary surfaces. Its advanced guidance systems and redundant fail-safes ensure near-perfect accuracy, making it one of the most feared weapons ever conceived—despite its silence in history.
