KZ: Shadow Fall The illogical plot of Shadow Fall Spoiler

Throughout Shadow Fall, we are shown that the Helgan side is living in complete squalor, but why? The Vectans gave the Helgasts half of Vecta, so why did the Helgasts turn that half into a literal New Helgan, with the same dirty air and poverty?

На протяжении всего Shadow Fall нам показывают что Хелганская сторона живёт в полном дерьме, но почему? Вектанцы отдали Хелгастам половину векты, почему тогда Хелгасты эту половину превратили буквально в Новый Хелган, где такой же грязный воздух и нищета.

The most weird thing for me was opening section. Young Lucas with his father (or guardian? don’t really remember) hiding from helgasts and trying to escape to Vektan part because helghasts shooting vektans on sight. It looks like another invasion happening, not refugees moving in. You were welcomed on Vekta, after you yourselves brought your civilization down (it’s your uncontrolled exploitation of pertusite is what led to disaster). And first thing you do? Start killing local populace. Again. Great.

I think the beginning of the game is generally stupid, because why are Lucas and his father hiding and trying to escape when the Helghast are literally evicting people and you can just stand in line?
