Overview of Ilduna Prime
Ilduna Prime is one of the four planets within the Meridian Sector, located deep in the Southern Galactic fringe. Initially a modest colony, it gradually developed into a prosperous settlement over the years, its citizens thriving in urbanized communities under the guiding principles of Managed Democracy.
Topography
Ilduna Prime’s terrain is comparable to Andar, Kerth Secundus, and Ras Algethi, featuring arid plateaus, sprawling rocky landscapes, and dense pockets of scrubland. The planet’s semi-arid climate makes it hospitable for colonization, though occasional dust storms can disrupt long-distance travel. Sparse vegetation and occasional freshwater reservoirs support modest agricultural activity, making Ilduna Prime an independent and self-sustaining colony.
History
Ilduna Prime remained peaceful and uneventful for most of its history. As part of the Great Democratization, it was settled by Super Earth pioneers, who slowly expanded the colony into a well-structured urban environment. Over time, Ilduna accumulated wealth and infrastructure, developing paved roads, proper sanitation systems, power grids, and, most importantly, lush green lawns for displaying Super Earth flags every Liberty Day.
However, peaceful prosperity does not go unnoticed by tyranny, and an old enemy lurking in the shadows sought to destroy what Super Earth had built.
In January 2185, the Illuminate, a long-forgotten foe of Humanity from the First Galactic War, made their shocking return to the Milky Way. After launching a devastating series of raids across the Southern Galactic Rim, they set their sights on Ilduna Prime. On January 10th, 2185, the Illuminate struck simultaneously at Ilduna Prime and Elysian Meadows, their sinister forces descending upon the colony to plunder and abduct its citizens. At the time, the Helldivers were stretched thin, facing massive Terminid incursions at Terrek and Automaton offensives at Matar Bay. With only a small contingent of defenders available, the Illuminate overwhelmed the colony, pillaging whatever they could before vanishing into the dark void of space, retreating to Irulta.
However, Super Earth never forgets nor forgives the transgressions of tyrants, and retribution was imminent. Only eight days after the first invasion, Ilduna Prime’s time for vengeance arrived. The Helldivers, now regrouped and reinforced with the mighty Democracy Space Station, received orders to repel all Illuminate offensives across the Meridian Sector.
On January 18th, 2185, the Illuminate attempted a second invasion of Ilduna Prime, hoping to capitalize on their initial raid. However, they gravely miscalculated the resolve of Super Earth’s finest. The Helldivers launched a decisive counteroffensive, crushing the Illuminate in just 10 hours of relentless combat. With overwhelming firepower, superior tactics, and unwavering dedication to Democracy, they obliterated the enemy fleet, ensuring that Ilduna Prime would remain free from tyranny’s grasp.
This resounding victory avenged the suffering of the colony, securing Super Earth’s dominance over the sector and delivering a powerful message—no force in the galaxy can withstand the righteous fury of Freedom.
