Overview of Wezen
Wezen is one of the five inhabited planets within the Ymir Sector, acting as a gateway to the Trigon Sector. Known for its constant wildfires and hazardous terrain, it became a major battlefield during the Second Galactic War due to its strategic position.
Topography
Wezen’s landscape consists of mountainous terrain, deep ravines, and open plateaus with sparse vegetation. The planet features exploding mushrooms, thorny shrubs, and low grasses, making it a difficult environment for movement and combat.
History
During the Second Galactic War, Wezen was initially far from the frontlines but fell under Automaton attack on May 23, 2184. Despite heavy Helldiver casualties, planetary defenses collapsed by May 24.
On June 7, 2184, Operation Valiant Resistance saw a Helldiver counterattack to liberate Wezen, as it was the best route toward Wasat, home to Automaton Database One. By June 8, the Helldivers secured the planet, but Automaton forces launched a counteroffensive on July 3, recapturing Wezen by July 6 after an intense battle.
Following weeks of Automaton occupation, the Helldivers regained control during Operation Liberty Crush and Operation Vengeful Cleansing (August 2-4, 2184). Though the Automatons had momentarily won, Super Earth’s strategic divide-and-conquer efforts in Ymir and Andromeda proved successful, securing the path to victory in the war.
