Helios was originally a st Ives compact mech and then a liao mech after the st Ives was retaken. The Argus is a fed com - fed sun mech from the civil war era
Facts - 2nd Star League was formed in 3058 with the purpose of uniting to defeat the Clans, which they accomplished in the Great Refusal fought on April 23, 3060. The Argus was produced 2 years later... and was featured in the FedCom Civil War. The Helios was a St. Ives Compact design that wasn't yet in usage and none of them touched ground on Huntress or had any meaningful role in defeating the Clans. The Argus and Helios are part of this forcepack because the the game designers/owners like those designs and shoe-horned them in. (Kinda like putting the Saggitaire in the ELH box when Sandra Barclay's Cerberus was an option). Its just a bad fit. The Falconer or any of the IS OmniMechs from TRO 3058 would have been much better fits if this was meant to represent the Second Star League. VSD's Dire Wolf and Emperor are appropriate.
Added timestamps in case anyone wants to jump straight to a certain segment.

I appreciate the insight. My mech origin knowledge is somewhat limited.
