'''Hive Helsreach''' is a vast [[Hive]] city on the [[Imperial]] world [[Armageddon]]{{Fn|2a}}, devoted primarily to the production of fuel.{{Fn|22b}} It has vast docks and a link to the Deadlands far to the south in the form of an underwater pipeline. It is always one of the earliest hives to be fought over due to its strategic position and control of the pipelines.{{cite this}}

The [[Third War for Armageddon]] saw the bloodiest fighting around Hive Helsreach. Again it was its port facilities that drew the attention of the Orks as well as the prospect of a good fight. It was estimated that around three million humans died in its defensedefence.{{cite thisFn|3}}

An attack was attempted by the Orks of the a variety of tribes against the south and east side of the Hive which were repulsed by the The [[Black Templars]] [[Space MarineChapter]] led a [[crusade]] in defence of Helsreach, dubbed the [[ChapterHelsreach Crusade]] , led by [[Reclusiarch]] [[Merek Grimaldus]].{{Fn|2b2a}} while They were supported by [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s of the [[Armageddon Steel Legion]] and [[Imperial Titan Legion|Titans]] of [[Legio Invigilata]] bombarded the Ork landing positions to the north from within the Hive.{{cite thisFn|2a}}}}

Along Hel's Highway, Ork forces often broke through the defences and assaulted the north of the Hive. Despite these constant attacks and setbacks, the population of Hive Helsreach fought like their forefathers, with a vigour and zeal that made the Orks pay dearly for every inch of ground they took.{{cite thisFn|3}}
