It was only the arrival of Legionnaire contingent Alpha Squad that helped turned the tide on Helghan.Ħ months after the invasion, they were weakened to the point of being a guerrilla-force as opposed to an invasion force due to the loss of a large amount of both personnel and equipment. Ironically, despite their vaunted reputation as being one of the ISA's finest ground units, they found that the Helghast were more than a match for them, especially on the Helghast's home turf. Marines are the first to fight on the battlefield and are known for their honor, valor, bravery and most importantly, their dedication as the main military forces of the ISA. Despite Visari's passing, the remaining ISA Marines found themselves stranded on Helghan as a surprise Helghast fleet began to bear down upon them. In a desperate gamble, Captain Jason Narville-who was now the de-facto leader for all ISA ground forces on Helghan - rallied any and all remaining Marines in an all-out, last-ditch attack on Visari's palace, assisting Alpha Squad in its capture, and accidental killing, of Visari.

With mounting losses and a drastically reduced support structure, the ISA's forces were nearly annihilated when Scolar Visari detonated the Red Dust nuclear weapon in the center of Pyrrhus with most of the remaining ISA forces concentrated in the city, this was a severely crippling blow. In addition, the commanding officer for the entire Helghan campaign, Colonel Jan Templar, is killed in the surprise attack by Helghast Colonel Radec himself. However, the Helghast unleashed a devastating surprise counterattack that destroyed most of the ISA's orbiting atmospheric command fleet, including the ISA's flagship. After the arrival of the second wave, which notably included a few Special Forces units, the attack resumed in earnest.Īfter intense fighting in both cramped urban and dangerous desert wasteland conditions, the ISA forces steadily gained control of vital territories in and around Helghan's capital city, Pyrrhus. Arriving approximately two weeks before the second wave, the first ISA assault wave took heavy casualties, but succeeded in establishing several planetary beachheads. The Marines reinforced the severely weakened ISA Army units on Vekta, and finally liberated Vekta from the Helghast.Īfter Vekta was liberated, the ISA launched a retaliatory attack against the Helghast's home planet of Helghan, with the Marines at the forefront of this invasion. When the Vektans called upon Earth to provide it with reinforcements after the Helghast invasion, Earth answered with a large naval task force being loaned to the ISA Navy as usual, this task force carried its own complement of Marines. Now, they are powerful and well-supplied military force as seen in Killzone 2. The Marines were first deployed by the UCA against Helghast forces in the First Extrasolar War.
