Inspired by a vicious scissor-toothed shark indigenous to old-world Matar, the Hel is widely viewed as a sign of a Republic out for blood. Since the beginning of its development it has remained a project cloaked in secrecy, with precious few people aware of its progress and its capabilities, and its formal unveiling has come as a defiant slap in the face to many who formerly believed the Matari incapable of working at this scale of starship design.
Whatever comprises the soil of its roots, though, one thing is clear: from no-frills living quarters to grim, unadorned aesthetic, this ferocious behemoth has been designed for one purpose and one purpose only.
”Imagine a swarm of deadly hornets pouring from the devil's mouth. Now imagine they have autocannons.” -Unknown Hel designer

Summary
The Hel is basically an oversized Nidhoggur carrier with similar properties. It does tend to have a rougher time in larger capital brawls because its tank is not remarkable, but for drive-by attacks and as a ratting supercarrier it is the best.
Skills
Minmatar Carrier to V helps a lot for ratting applications.

18.04 Release - Build: 1706308 - 2020-04-15 - "Surgical Strike" Update (Patch Notes)
- There is a vision for a Capital ecosystem with clear escalation steps based on distinct roles for each class. Part of that vision relies on moving Super Carriers and Titans away from all-purpose damage to a specific focus on Capital and structure killing. You will have seen one big step in this direction recently with the removal of High Angle Weapons from Titans. Now, substantial changes are being made to Super Carriers as well, but there is also an acknowledgement that Super Carriers need more to set them apart from Titans and Dreadnaughts as Capital killers before their Subcapital damage application can be fully removed. For now, their fighter tube loadout will be rearranged to promote more class diversity in your local Super umbrella and decrease long range Heavy Fighter damage application. -Surgical Strike Dev Blog
- Support fighter tubes removed (could previously have up to two support fighter squads active)
- Heavy fighter squadron limit increased from 3 to 4 (+1)
- Bonus to Armor Plates and Shield Extenders reduced from 400% to 200% (-200%)
