'''Hive Helsreach''' is a vast [[Hive]] city on the [[Imperial]] world [[Armageddon]]. 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.

During the first war, the hive didn't feel any particular damage, as it is located in [[Armageddon Secundus]], behind the line of defending [[Space Wolves]] and [[Imperial Guard]] although the forces of [[Chaos]] were about to begin a march on [[Hive Infernus]] and Helsreach but the [[Grey Knights]] teleported directly into combat with [[Angron]], banishing his soul for one hundred years.

It is said that, just before the [[Second War for Armageddon]] began, the earliest warnings of the coming [[Ork]] invasion were at the Statue of the Emperor in Hive Helsreach, when it is said that it wept bloody tears. When the attack came, two Ork tribes struck off for [[Hades Hive]] and one to Hive Helsreach. The population were heartened by the defence of Hades Hive and put up massive resistance at every turn. Orks were ambushed at every turn and they used improvised weaponry to arm every available person. They converted the supertankers that had arrived in the port to transport non-combatants away, although they were forced to take a lot when it was clear that there was insufficient space on the tankers for everyone in the Hive.

Finally, the Hive fell when a large group of Ork [[Wyrdboyz]] sent a huge psychic storm, which exploded the minds of many and drove the rest insane. The Orks then entered the Hive and wiped out the defenders to the man.

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, and a good fight. It was estimated that around three million humans died in its defence.
