This article has a separate continuity.
This article is in the Richard Hatch continuation separate continuity, which is related to the Original Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

The helm is the Colonial term for the helmet worn by Viper pilots.

It serves several functions, when worn it erects an energy shield that covers the opening in the face, in addition to the breach around the neck. On the inside of the shield, it offers a visual readout called an info-scroll, in addition to an internal communicator that allows communication to other ships and the Fleet.

It also serves as a filter and oxygen supply, capable of extracting oxygen from unbreathable atmospheres^[1] (RH: Armageddon)

Notes

This is implied to be the same as the helmet worn in the Original Series, however none of these functions are ever specified as being part of the helmet in the series, nor is this term used.
