History WMG / Killzone

I doubt that the Head of Vekta's intelligence agency would be so incompetent as to be unaware of such a plot, it's more then likely he simply allowed it to happen so it would drive up tensions, and permit him to use it as a pretext to deport everyone with Helghast heritage. Given how ruthless he's shown to be at the end of the game, he no doubt considered the innocent people who died to be just another means of fulfilling his vendetta, just like Kellan ultimately proved to be in the end.

!! ISA Propaganda
The entire series is ISA propaganda, because the Helghast have a much more sympathetic backstory than most villains, and for the sake of not damaging their public image, the ISA portrays themselves as heroes despite much evidence to the contrary. This could also be responsible for the difference between ISA and Helghast uniforms, the more low-tech ISA is fairly realistic, resembling modern-day armies, while the Helghast have been slightly altered to appear more threatening. A form of HistoricalVillainUpgrade?
** On the other hand, ''the Helghast themselves'' could be responsible for the sympathetic slant, having had some hand in writing history after the war, and the ISA just another example of GoodIsNotNice.
** It could also be taken someone in the ISA RootingForTheEmpire, inserting a more balanced view to paint a more realistic picture of the war.

Chances are, UCN troopers have better training than ISA and Helghast ones. Compare how, as Sev, you always fight as a squad or with a friend. And then, there's Danner, a former UCN soldier turned mercenary, who is the very reason the ISA managed to get their foots on Helghan, and he did all of it on his own.

While this conjecture is made without having played any of the games, the story elements of Helghast and the planet of Krieg seem to bear some similarities--such as the nuclear annihilation visited upon it. Kriegan Imperial Guard troops are all GasMaskMooks like the Helghast. Granted, the similarities seem superficial otherwise.

* Jossed. [[spoiler: The Destroyer is given for the last chapter played as Kellan. The Savior for the mid credits chapter played as Echo.]]

Judging by the leaked trophies, two in particular "The Destroyer" and "The Savior", there will be a choice where the player can allow the ISA and Helghast to restart the war and continue to destroy themselves, or bring peace (or another truce) to both sides.

[[spolier: Confirmed, though YMMV on how "grand" it is.]]

* They are in peace talks with the Vektans and in conflict with the black hand because of pragmatic villainy. They are regrowing their military and creating more deadlier weapons and machines, and their diplomatic treaty is a way to hold off any conflicts until the time is right. They also seek to destroy the black hand because the radicals are trying to instigate a war that they do not intend to restart just yet.

* Or they will agree to make peace with the ISA. Either way, they can't afford to lose again.

Aside from the fact they, albeit unintentionally, contributed to the deaths of millions of Helghast, they are technically in violation of the ISA's direct order for a ceasefire at the time.

** Alternatively, there was a second planet inhabited by the Helghast and kept hidden from the ISA and UCN and secretly rebuilt their strength for the last 30 years when the ISA and UCN all thought that the Helghast threat was destroyed for good. And Stahl is they're new Autarch !
