The Helios is CreoDron's answer to the Ishukone Buzzard. After the fall of Crielere, the once-cordial relations between the Gallente Federation and the Caldari state deteriorated rapidly and, for a while, it seemed as if war might be brewing.

==Summary==
== Skills ==
The Helios is the odd one out among covert ops, in that it only has 2 high slots. In compensation it has 5 mid slots and a rather useless 5m3 drone bay. This is a disadvantage to some because it means the Helios can't fit the standard complement of cloak, probe launcher and cynosural field generator that is the staple fit of covops frigates in null sec alliances.
* It is essential to train {{Sk|Cloaking}} to IV in order to use the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II.
* {{Sk|Astrometrics|IV}}, {{Sk|Astrometric Acquisition|III}}, {{Sk|Astrometric Pinpointing|III}} and {{Sk|Astrometric Rangefinding|III}} make a good skills base for scanning.
* If you intend to develop long term scouting skills, which will require fast accurate scans in a ship that's so nimble it warps almost instantly, it will become essential to train the Covops and Scanning skills to V.


==Skills==
== Tactics ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Helios for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
* Scanning, learn how to scan quickly and effectively by 'Play Hunting' mission ships in High Sec
* Explore Wormholes, with 'Bookmark Breadcrumbs' so you develop skills using probes to navigate
* Practice 'Punting', where you can drop a tight scan formation on a gate, so you can punt your fleet onto an enemy
* But most of all, practice, practice and practice even more the art of re-cloaking in less than the cycle of one second, it will make you almost immortal


==Fitting==
== Notes ==
{{ShipFitting|
In ancient Greek mythology, Helios was the god associated with the Sun, or a personification of the Sun: in ancient Greek, ''helios'' was the word for the Sun. Some writers treated Helios as the son of the titan [[Hyperion]], while other writers considered Hyperion and Helios to be different names for the same deity.
