Matar Bay

""Rocky outcroppings punctuate fields of tall grass in a planet dominated by misty highland terrain.""

- Official description

Matar Bay is one of the 5 planets that reside within the Andromeda Sector.

Topography
The landscape of Matar Bay shares some similarities with the pre-great war Scottish highlands, leading some Helldivers to call the planet Space Scotland. The planet is well suited to human habitation, with the misty highland terrain prepossessing lush grass-life, several large continent sized lakes and vast oceans. Rocky outcrops expose the skeleton of the mountain landscape with a vegetative skin of heath and grasses covering most of it. Swathes of flowering heather together with patches of moss and pasture form a visually diverse but integrated landscape.

Much like old-scotland back on Super Earth, Matar Bay does not have a dry season or a wet season, instead, rainfall is fairly consistent across the year, with some months wetter than others and thunderstorms being a common occurrence. The planet also possesses a unique native wildlife in the form of luminescent floating jellyfish which can be seen floating in the air, ranging in size from the size of a human palm to being larger than a Super Bowling Ball. Whilst appearing to be non-aggressive, field observations have noted that larger specimens also have the ability to shoot out their own bolts of electricity, seemingly at random. Investigations into whether this electric sting is lethal or not are ongoing...

Trivia
The name of the planet is a play on the setting of 2 naval-dominated missions in the Supreme Commander (2007) campaign taking place in a bay on the planet: Matar
