The Colonial Empire of Helghan Colonial Force is a large nation whose system of naming themselves (people, planet, region, empire etc.) is based around the fact that they were once a mere Colony of 5 million people. They take pride in their beginnings as a new nation and as such keep their region of space named the Helghast Colony and their Empire the Colonial Empire.

History

Beginning as a small nation in the East Pacific, the Helghan Colonial Force hated their home region and their neighbours. Reaching out to space, the Colonials colonised the planet of Atarr and renamed it to Helghast Colony 101. Here they grew into a powerful and deeply militaristic society, conformity and uniformity are expected of all subjects.

Soon, however, a group of natives were discovered and subsumed into the Colonial Force. In time the Colonial leader became friendly with the natives leader, the masochistic and occultist, Karl Ruprecht Kroenen. Kroenen was granted a planet of his own along with his followers and became the Disputed territories of Kroenen Followers.

In time the Colonials (as they became known, rather than as Helghast) came across many other planets, a few with fledgling nations, such as Gyranis, and the Helghast Colony-the name given to their new region-grew even larger, no longer a mere colony, but now the Colonial Empire. They have taken several worlds which were previously uninhabitable to Helghast, terraformed them and now use the worlds as mining colonies and military ports.

Government

The Helghan Colonial Force is ruled over by their cruel dictator Cetanu Guan'thwei. Political freedoms are outlawed and civil rights are few. Anyone who speaks out against Lord Marshall Cetanu are executed. The people have a small amount of freedom in the Senate, which can fight Cetanu and is the only power which can do so. Rumours are ripe however that Cetanu is planning on wiping out the Senate altogether.

Military

The Colonial army is a massively powerful war machine, the largest in the region. At the age of 16, male colonists leave school and join a Military Acadamy. After staying there for 4 years, the colonist has a choice:join the army or get a job outside of the military. All male colonists who don't join the armed forces are kept as reserves in case the Colony is invaded.
