Helghan Senate

The Helghan Senate or the High Council is the main legistlative/governing body of the Helghan Empire and is one of the antagonist factions in the Killzone series. Founded after the rise of Autarch Scolar Visari, the Helghan Senate is ran by officials that were personally chosen by Visari and ruled the Helghan Empire follwoing Visari's death and after the collapse of the Helghan Empire in 2360.

History
In the year 2347, Scolar Visari had rosen to power and had taken over planet Helghan. After taking power, Visari began to organize a major governing body comprised of major government officials who were chosen by Visari for their loyalty for him, not by popular vote from the Helghast people. During the early years of the Helghan Empire, the High Council had been falling under the influence and control of Khag Stahl, then CEO of Stahl Arms but then Orlock and his associates had cut off that influence and soon his son, Jorhan Stahl succeded him and took control. During the Second Extrasolar War, the High Council had been supporting Visari during his ordered invasion of Vekta and led the nation after the death of Visari. Admiral Orlock had soon battled Stahl over control of the Senate as Stahl had used the failed counter-attack led by Orlock, against the remaining ISA Forces fleeing from Helghan in retreat and used it to show how Orlock had failed as Commander-In-Chief of the Helghast Military and said that he would be a better military leader due to the Stahl Arms Private Army that the company had and managed well along with much of the Helghast Military resources coming from Stahl Arms. Stahl had then planned to execute ISA prisoners to gain complete control of both the senate and the state but was failed misrably by a prison riot and soon Orlock took the title of Autarch. Stahl then betrayed the Senate and whipped out all of the Invasion Fleet for erath execept his own cruiser to have them beg for mercy but soon the cruiser crashed and the Senate collapsed after the terricide happened and whipped out all of Helghan and killed off most of the Helghast population.
