Overview of Malevelon Creek
Malevelon Creek is one of the five planets in the Severin Sector, characterized by lush jungles, wide ponds, and persistent fog. The planet became infamous during the Automaton Expedition, witnessing some of the most intense and brutal battles on the Automaton front.
Topography
The planet is covered in dense forests, thick brush, and low-hanging fog, creating an environment of eternal night. Frequent ion storms disrupt communications and stratagem deployment, making it a treacherous battlefield.
History
Malevelon Creek became a key warzone during the Automaton Expedition, with Helldivers facing fierce resistance from the socialist Automaton forces. Despite initial resistance, the planet fell on February 28th, 2184, marking a devastating setback for Super Earth. However, Helldivers continued guerrilla-style operations, slowing the enemy’s advance.
Super Earth launched a counteroffensive in March 2184, with Helldivers fighting in near-hopeless conditions. Reports emerged of Automaton war crimes, including torture camps and desecrated Helldiver corpses. On April 1st, 2184, after heavy reinforcements and catastrophic losses, the planet was liberated. However, the Automatons launched a final desperate assault the following day, introducing Gunships and Factory Striders to reclaim the planet.
With an unprecedented deployment of 230,000 Super Destroyers, the Helldivers swiftly eliminated the enemy, securing Malevelon Creek permanently on April 3rd, 2184. This day is now observed as Malevelon Creek Memorial Day, honoring the 25 million Helldivers who perished during the campaign.
Since its liberation, Malevelon Creek remains peaceful and under Super Earth control, with two Super Destroyers standing as an eternal honor guard over the battlefield.
