Helltunans

An April 2016 version of this page from the original BHH Wiki is available at (2016) Helltuna

The Helltunans, collectively Helltuna, were a major species-nation in the After-Human Era, including in BHH. Helltuna were major villains in older versions of BHH. They prioritised military strength and their hard power (military coercion) made them one of the Two Great Powers from 300 AHE, one of the Three Great Powers from the 400s, and by the era of BHH, the most influential power in the universe. In addition, it was the only (or one of the few) species-nations to establish an empire, and the area under their control spanned several star systems.

Traditionally, the Helltunans' main rivals were Olympa, and neither state was consistently more powerful than the other in the middle After-Human Era. Whereas the Helltunans saw themselves as warriors who valued skill, violence and bravery, the Olympans believed they were power-hungry and dangerous. The Evon joined the opposition to Helltuna in the 400s. Helltunans and Evon hated each other — the Helltunans saw Evon as arrogant, manipulative, patronising and soft; the Evon saw the Helltunans as brutish, lazy, sadistic and stupid. The Olympans became less idealistic over time and the Evon became the main opposition to Helltuna.
