Vekta City

Vekta City is the capital and largest city on planet Vekta, and was currently known to be famous for the Rebellions conducted against the Helghast Empire during the decades of Helghan's Occupation of Vekta since the start of the Second Extrasolar War on August 11th, 2357.

The city was occupied for about 11 years until the area along with the rest of Planet Vekta was finally liberated in 2368.

Invasion of Vekta
When the Helghast Third Army touched down on Vekta during the outbreak of the Second Extrasolar War, the defending companies of the Rapid Reaction Force both inside and outside the city's limits were quickly overrun and destroyed, especially when Helghast troops aided General Stuart Adams in taking control of the ISA's orbital weapons platform, using its ordnance on the main ISA fortress in the city, flattening the fortress and causing massive collateral damage to the city, although not destroying it completely. This left the helpless civilian population to be ruthlessly slaughtered by Helghast troops in a fit of genocidal fury. In addition, the city itself was further devastated in the first hours of the war due to the Helghast's indiscriminate use of heavy weaponry against the Vektans.

However, Helghast control of the city was severely reduced after reinforced, re-equipped, and reinvigorated ISA forces mounted vicious counterattacks in attempts to retake the city. Despite multiple gains against the Third Army, that were mostly caused by Templar and his squad, the tide turned against the ISA, when Templar and his squad was captured, which resulted in most of the areas around Vekta city being obliterated by General Adams, along with a genocidal counter attack that would later plague the ruins.

Vekta city came into complete Helghast control on August 21st, 2357, the very same day that Osiris was massacred.
