Malevelon Creek

"The strange subversion of photosynthesis that sustains the oddly-hued flora that flourishes on this planet remains an intriguing mystery to the Super Earth's greatest exo-biologists."

- Official Description

Malevelon Creek is one of the five planets that reside within the Severin Sector. Its landscape generally consists of lush jungles and wide ponds.

Topography
While devoid of any specified environmental conditions, Malevelon Creek is largely covered in flora, including thick brushing and dense, dark forests. In addition, it bears a persistent fog and heavy clouds, giving the surface an appearance of eternal night regardless of local time.

Its overall geography is varied, ranging from large lakes to shallow inlets, separated by peninsulas covered in jungles and rocky hills which are difficult to traverse.

Trivia
Malevelon Creek has become infamous in the Helldivers 2 community for its extremely intense and difficult fighting. The planet's challenging terrain, combined with its thick layer of vegetation, fog and clouds, make for engagements which are extremely challenging to keep under control. Beginning around February 15th, the Helldivers launched an increasingly massive attack on the planet, but struggled initally to make significant gains against the overwhelming force of the Automatons.

In the days afterwards, more and more Divers were directed towards the planet, as its intense fighting became a popular subject within the larger community and especially amoungst a faction organized through social media, known as the Harbingers of Liberty. Within their ranks, High Commander Shadz coordinated efforts to rally countless Divers to counter the aggressive measures taken by an official Helldivers 2 product game master, revealed publically to be named "Joel".

Joel became widely known by the community after knowledge of his game manipulation in response to the Divers' surge on Malevelon Creek, described as middle of the night reinforcements of Automatons to the planet, were made public in online media articles. Due to his widely publicized efforts to turn the tide against the Divers, Joel has become a fixture of online discussions and somewhat viewed as the nemesis to the communities unwavering dedication to spread democracy throughout the Helldivers 2 universe.

As of March, significant gains for the planet's liberation have been made, but the fight for the creek continues to rage. Joel's infamy continues to grow as well.
