Vandalon IV

"Submerged in eternal winter, this world's frosty peaks glimmer in the light of its too-distant star."

- Official Description

Vandalon IV is one of the five planets that reside within the Trigon Sector. It's covered in large glaciers and rivers of thick ice.

Topography
An arctic planet far away from it's own star, Vanalon IV is a world which is submerged in eternal winter, the frosty peaks of the worlds mountains and massive continent sized glaciers. Purposeful terraforming efforts by the federation as well as the industry of Automaton factories have warmed the planet enough that the ice has started to melt, creating several large oceans, though the water is still too cold to safely swim in. Colonists still need to wear extra layers of clothing when going outside, whilst intense snow storms are an almost daily occurrence.

The Great Defense of Vandalon IV
During the late Operation Swift Disassembly, the Automatons probably discovered a new Route directly to Vandalon IV resulting in a swift attack while many Helldivers were focusing on holding the ground of Malevelon Creek, Ubanea and Draupnir as well as attacking the remaining Automaton planets. While most Helldivers underestimated the importance of Vandalon IV as a planet that was now a barrier between the Severin and Trigon Sector, a few Helldivers engaged in a swift and bloody fight on the Planet.

While the fight looked like a loss, many Helldivers fought brave against the Automatons without receiving much reinforcements from the other frontlines.

While the fight looked like a loss, many Helldivers fought brave against the Automatons without receiving much reinforcements from the other frontlines. While many Helldivers werent able to see how important Vandalon IV was, the remaining troops and inhabitants on Vandalon IV, stood strong together. In a bloody fight they were able to defend the planet successfully in a very narrow victory and thus secured the last phase of the Operation Swift Disassembly. This planet suffered the last attack by the Automatons prior to their attack on the Northwestern region of the galaxy.

As of April 9th, Vandolon IV and the surrounding systems are safe and sound in the tender care of Managed Democracy.
