Hellespont is a star system in the Vega Sector. Although listed as a territory in the Union of Border Worlds, as of 2673, it seemed to be under the control of the Terran Confederation.

Hellespont is a frontier system, making it very close to Kilrathi airspace. It is unknown what role it played in the Terran-Kilrathi War, although it was likely occupied for some time during the war. After the war, this system joined the Union of Border Worlds, but at the same time, it hosted two Confed outposts, Blue Point Station and the Orlando Depot.

Colonel Christopher Blair and Major Todd Marshall were en route to the Orlando Depot after Marshall recalled Blair to active service in the wake of the Border Worlds Conflict in 2673. They were to pilot a shuttle back to the Sol System to receive their commands from Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn. While en route, the two men dueled each other with non-lethal lasers as a means to refresh their skills.

When the two men arrived at Orlando, the station was completely destroyed by a Border Worlds bomber, killing 3,000 Terrans. The two pilots were force to divert their course to Blue Point Station, where they continued to Sol. The man who attacked Orlando was later identified as "Seether", a Black Lance operative.
