Overview of Hydrobius
Hydrobius is one of the five planets in the Omega Sector. It remained a peaceful and relatively uneventful colony after its initial settlement following the First Galactic War. However, its tranquility was shattered when it became one of the many targets of the resurgent Illuminate during the Second Galactic War.
History
For much of its existence, Hydrobius prospered quietly, developing its infrastructure and economy without major incidents. However, the return of the Illuminate—a long-forgotten enemy of Super Earth—would soon threaten its safety.
On December 21st, 2184, the Illuminate launched a coordinated attack on Hydrobius, just hours after concluding raids at Osupsam and Baldrick Prime. Their tactical timing left little room for organized resistance, and with the Helldivers preoccupied with securing the Umlaut Sector, the planet was at risk of falling.
Despite this unexpected assault, a contingent of Helldivers was dispatched to aid in repelling the invasion, aiming to protect the planet’s resources and ensure its citizens’ safety against the xenophobic invaders.
