| ===Colonization===
| | Along with [[Fumirole]], the colony was one of two on which Insurrectionists were known to utilize [[Rumbledrug]]s in a vainglorious attempt to fight [[SPARTAN-II Project|SPARTAN-II's]]. 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. |
| Hellas was established as a UEG colony in the [[Minos system]] in the year [[2458]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ===Insurrection===
| | The planet's status following the [[Human-Covenant War]] is unknown. |
| During the [[Insurrection]], Hellas—along with the colony [[Fumirole]]—harbored [[insurrectionist]]s who were known to utilize [[rumbledrug]]s. In [[2527]], [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]]s were involved in an operation on Hellas where they had forced twenty insurrectionists to retreat into an indefensible fox hole. Cornered, one of them injected rumbledrugs into his arm and started pushing forwards. One of the Spartans fired on him with an [[MA5B assault rifle]], with the insurgent only beginning to stumble halfway through the magazine. When the insurgent's own allies moved up to cover him, he turned on them, shredding through them like they were nothing.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippo|Halo: Hippocratica}} Unencumbered by the body's normal safety limits, people under the influence of rumbledrugs 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.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian", ''page 93''</ref> [[Omega Team]] had knowledge of this particular event on Hellas, though it is uncertain if they participated in the operation itself or if they were simply briefed on reports following the mission.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippo}}

| In [[2540]], Spartans [[August-099]], [[Leon-011]], [[Robert-025]], [[Kai-125]], [[Riz-028]], and [[Vannak-134]] of Omega Team were involved in operations on Hellas.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF150|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-give-em-lore|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - If They Want Lore, We'll Give 'Em Lore|D=22|M=02|Y=2024}}
