The term "half-breed" is often a derogatory term used to describe people who are the byproduct of human and Helghast descent.
Description[]
Half-breeds retain traits of both humans and Helghast, such as pale skin and in most cases hair. They often do not need respiration devices. In general, half-breeds are physically stronger, tougher and heal faster than an average human (though not as much as a pure Helghast), as well as having calmer, more patient and less hostile mentalities than the average Helghast, giving them more of each race's genetic strengths rather than weaknesses.
Social Status[]
Half-breeds are discriminated by both Helghast and humans. Especially after the Second Extrasolar War and the Helghast resettlement of Vekta, any human detected with traces of Helghast descent are instantly treated as pariahs by Vektans. Chancellor Hera Visari mothered a half-breed, Echo, in which she suppressed her Vektan heritage.
Following the Black Hand attack on Vekta City, half-breeds living on the Vektan side were deported to New Helghan, where they are segregated from the "pure" Helghast population.[1]
