Overview of Oshaune
Oshaune is one of the four planets in the Mirin Sector, uniquely positioned as a dual-border planet with connections to both Fori Prime in the Mirin Sector and Omicron in the L’estrade Sector. It is the only planet in the Mirin Sector that lacks direct connections to its neighboring planets, making it strategically isolated.
Topography
Oshaune’s terrain bears resemblance to the British Isles before the last great war, particularly Ireland, with rolling green valleys, highland plateaus, and rugged coastal mountains. The climate is mild and humid, with frequent rainfall covering nearly two-thirds of the year, along with dense fog at higher altitudes.
The planet’s economy thrives on natural resource extraction, including mining, agriculture, and fish farming, making it a vital colony in Super Earth’s interstellar expansion. Despite its lush, inviting landscape, Oshaune has been subject to multiple invasions and occupations throughout its history.
History
Oshaune saw early action in the First Galactic War, suffering a period of Illuminate occupation before it was ultimately liberated and restored under Managed Democracy.
Following the installation of the Terminid Control System on the Barrier Planets, Oshaune initially experienced a relatively smooth liberation, as many Helldivers, weary of the hazards of neighboring Hellmire, chose to deploy in Oshaune’s greener pastures instead.
Despite constant battles on the Terminid Front, Oshaune was often spared the worst of the conflict, as many Helldivers focused on the more dangerous deserts of Hellmire and Fori Prime. It was liberated three times even without direct orders from High Command—once during Operation CBCT Protection, another during the construction of E-710 Farms, and again during Operation Enduring Bulwark, a key success in the defense of Fori Prime.
However, this good fortune would not last. When the Terminids evolved resistance to Termicide, the Meridia Supercolony transformed into a massive infestation, triggering an unstoppable Terminid onslaught. Oshaune’s colonial defenses were quickly overrun, and the planet fell into enemy hands.
The collapse of the Meridia Supercolony on May 30, 2184, through the deployment of Dark Fluid, finally halted the Terminid advance, allowing Super Earth forces to push back into the Draco and Mirin Sectors.
During Operation Hive Breaker, a new Major Order was issued to liberate the Draco Sector, Hellmire, and Nivel 43. While Oshaune was not included in the official orders, a large contingent of Helldivers defied High Command and began deploying to Oshaune on June 18, 2184, determined to return the planet to liberty.
However, this resistance faltered, and Oshaune was eventually overrun when the Helldivers failed to maintain control of Fori Prime, allowing the Terminids to solidify their presence.
Since then, Oshaune has remained in Terminid control, completely engulfed by The Gloom, a nebula of interstellar Terminid spores. With SEAF satellites unable to penetrate the dense cloud, the current status of Oshaune remains unknown.
