Overview of Valmox
Valmox is one of the seven planets in the Rictus Sector, known for its vast crimson algae fields and rugged landscapes. Despite being a peaceful Super Earth colony for much of its history, Valmox became a battleground during the Second Galactic War when it was attacked by the Illuminate in December 2184.
Topography
Valmox’s terrain is similar to Gatria, Ubanea, Crimsica, and Ingmar, featuring treeless flat steppes, rolling hills, and expansive wetlands. The planet is intersected by several continent-spanning mountain ranges, creating a diverse and rugged ecosystem. From orbit, Valmox appears covered in crimson-red grass, but this is actually a unique species of algae that has spread across the entire planet.
History
For most of its history, Valmox remained a peaceful and uneventful colony within the Federation of Super Earth. Settled during the Great Democratization after the First Galactic War, early colonists discovered a resource-rich and fertile region, which allowed for steady urban development. Over time, fortified settlements grew into thriving cities, complete with electricity, waste management, and other staples of modern civilization.
However, Valmox’s peace would not last. From the dark void of space, a long-defeated enemy turned its gaze toward the planet once more. The Illuminate, an alien faction once presumed eradicated, had returned with a vengeance, reigniting their war against Managed Democracy.
On December 17th, 2184, Valmox was simultaneously attacked alongside Kerth Secundus, another Super Earth colony in a neighboring sector. However, hope was not lost. The Helldivers, who had already achieved decisive victories against the Illuminate at Calypso and Bellatrix, quickly mobilized to defend Valmox.
For nearly eight hours, Helldivers valiantly held the line, engaging in intense combat against the Illuminate forces. As Kerth Secundus was successfully defended, the Helldiver Corps shifted their full focus to Valmox, launching a final counteroffensive against the alien invaders. Through relentless firepower and unwavering determination, the Helldivers repelled the Illuminate, restoring peace and security to Valmox once more.
