Overview of Parsh
Parsh is one of the seven planets in the Rictus Sector, a colony of Super Earth that thrived in peace until the return of the Illuminate brought destruction to its doorstep.
Topography
Parsh shares geographical similarities with Seasse and Asperoth Prime. Its surface consists of vast rolling plains, dense forests, and winding rivers that carve through rugged terrain. The planet’s climate is temperate, with seasonal variations that support a diverse ecosystem. Once a promising frontier world, Parsh’s natural resources made it an ideal location for settlement following the First Galactic War.
As its economy flourished, colonists constructed urbanized settlements across the planet, expanding their reach while maintaining harmony with the natural landscape.
History
For much of its history, Parsh remained a peaceful colony in the Rictus Sector. Its proximity to the Core Colonies made it a prime target for development after the First Galactic War, with steady growth ensuring that its citizens could live free from the threats faced by more distant frontier worlds. Over the decades, the planet prospered, its economy thriving and its infrastructure steadily expanding.
However, this tranquility would not last forever. In December 2184, a long-forgotten enemy returned. The Illuminate, once thought to have been eradicated, reemerged with a vengeance, launching devastating raids across the Federation. As they pillaged their way through the galaxy, they turned their sights on Parsh.
On New Year’s Eve, 2184, the Illuminate launched an assault on the planet, arriving just weeks after their resurgence. Their objective was clear: to plunder Parsh’s resources and abduct its citizens, transforming them into their dreaded Voteless. As the invasion unfolded, chaos spread across the planet, with cities falling under siege and civilians desperately seeking refuge.
However, the Helldivers were ready. Having just repelled an Illuminate raid on Kharst, they immediately pursued the alien invaders, deploying onto Parsh with the full force of Super Earth’s might. Determined to prevent another world from falling victim to the Illuminate’s tyranny, they engaged in relentless combat, striking back against the enemy in an effort to drive them from the planet.
The battle for Parsh would be a defining moment in the ongoing war against the Illuminate, marking yet another chapter in Humanity’s fight for survival.
