## What is Helion Orbit?

Helion Orbit is free-to-play arcade space combat. Launch from the hangar, pick a hull, clear stages, and bank chips for upgrades.

Each stage is a scripted run: enemy waves, formations, debris, and a boss finale. Steer with the left stick, boost past full deflection, and use shield, pulse, and repair when the field closes in. Switch chase and cockpit view any time mid-run.

Between flights the hangar is your base:
• Unlock and equip ships
• Spend chips on hull, cooling, fire rate, handling, and more
• Choose stage and difficulty
• Manage a free ship bay that regenerates over time

Optional purchases (no subscriptions):
• Ship Refill — instant restore of your free ship bay
• Helion Pro — one-time unlock for infinite ships, infinite Shield, and no between-run ads

No account required. Pick up and fly.
