	The GTM-13 Helios is the product of an entire generation of high-energy physics research, based primarily at the GTVA particle accelerator complex near Antares. The most powerful warhead in the fleet's arsenal, the Helios generates a massive shockwave from the cataclysmic annihilation of matter and anti-matter, triggered upon impact with its target. Each bank of Helios warheads can fire only once every 30 seconds. The Helios is prohibitively expensive to produce, thus its deployment is severely restricted.

			Calculations point out that this weapon has a yield equivalent to approximately 10.5 GT (Gigatons of TNT).

	A Helios torpedo is even slower than a Cyclops, making its effective deployment difficult. As with the more common torpedo, range is everything: you don't want any. Get in close and make your shot count. Due to the Helios's slow speed, it is advised to engage your burners before you release the weapon and begin your evasive maneuver. This will give the torpedo some badly needed speed as it crosses the (hopefully short) distance to the target.

	Puzzlingly, the [[GTF Myrmidon\|GTF ''Myrmidon'']] space-superiority fighter has the ability to mount a Helios ~~torpedo~~ in ~~one of~~ its bays. It is unknown whether this was a very quiet design feature, or an interesting quirk of fate.		Puzzlingly, the [[GTF Myrmidon\|GTF ''Myrmidon'']] space-superiority fighter has the ability to mount up to four Helios torpedos in its three bays. It is unknown whether this was a very quiet design feature, or an interesting quirk of fate.
