The Cold War begins as the Helghast flee their dead world
Gates in the wall allowing Vektans to leave.
The Cold War on Vekta is the result of the Second Extrasolar War. With the Helghast fleet, industries, and planet in total ruin, the Vektan government offered the survivors of Helghan a place on their planet. The Helghast, out of anger, fear, and a desire to maintain their independence, began isolating themselves from the humans. A massive wall was constructed to divide the planet in half, and soon tensions rapidly escalated, with ISA cruisers patrolling their skies of Vekta City and keeping a close eye on the Helghast, who have counterparts patrolling their own airspace.
Thirty years after the resettlement the cold war has begun to heat up. With Helghast terrorists attacking Vekta City in response to VSA forces continuously probing into New Helghan collecting information and engaging in full scale fire fights with Helghast Security forces along with the Vektan Council and Earth upholding trade embargoes and economic sanctions against the Helghast.
