Developed around a prominent European aerospace design, the Helix was intended to offer military force a fast-strike ability on the changing battlefields of a post-tiberium world, but did not manage to impress the intended GDI audience with its performance. Considered too fragile and too poorly armed against the competing Orca designs, the Helix was instead bought up by a scattering of small national users and private security forces, and has proliferated slowly over the globe ever since.

Armed with a cluster of high explosive rockets, and boasting unrivalled speed, the Helix is best used for surgical strikes against targets without any AA defences. Too fragile for a stand-up fight, and carrying too little ordnance for a prolonged bombardment, the Helix shines best in situations where its high speed can be used to best effect.
