“Your Ground Is Our Graveyard.”
The Helldroppers were born during the Second Tevarin War (2603–2610), but their roots trace back to the disastrous Siege of Corvan Ridge (2583). UEE Army Command (ARCOM) needed a rapid-response force capable of breaching entrenched planetary positions with zero warning. Traditional drop pods had high casualty rates and little tactical flexibility — a new doctrine was needed.
By 2587, ARCOM greenlit Project Helldropper, assembling elite Army units trained for zero-G insertions, orbital HALO drops, and exo-environment combat. The unit’s first operational success came in 2590, when the 301st deployed from low orbit directly into a fortified Tevarin mountain holdout on Jalan. They seized the position in 11 minutes. ARCOM classified the mission as a “Helldrop.” The name stuck.
