Omicron

"A perenially chilly climate has allowed short, colorful shrubs to flourish across this planet's surface."

- Official Description.

Omicron is one of the seven planets that reside within the L'estrade Sector.

L'estrade Expedition Disaster
The planet was once the site of a military disaster. A small expedition of at least three thousand super destroyers commanded by the Helldivers attempted to liberate the world during the initial Mirin Sector Offensive, which after the liberation of Oshaune became known as the world with the highest known Terminid resistance recorded.

Helldivers were swarmed very quickly after landing, quickly making the battle for the planet known infamously as the "L'estrade Expedition Disaster" due to the high number of casualties that had quickly accumulated (even by helldiver standards) which started discouraging Helldivers from assaulting the planet. The expedition hastily retreated after Oshaune and Hellmire fell, which coincided with the commencement of Operation Swift Disassembly: Phase I in the Trigon Sector, leaving only a few stranded Helldivers on Omicron who are still listed as Missing-In-Action as well as a number of unaccounted-for Super Destroyers that are still running surveys in the L'estrade Sector. High Command is interested in returning to Omicron and bringing the rest of the L'estrade Sector back under SEAF control in the future.

Topography
Omicron is temperate montane world, characterized by it's high mountains and vast forests which grow on their slopes. A perennially chilly climate has allowed short, colorful shrubs to flourish across this planet's surface, with many comparing it to the Alps in sector 4 or the Appalachian mountains in sector 7, making it an idyllic planet for colonists. Unfortunately the bugs in their mindless need to consume and reproduce have reaped their toll on the planets ecosystem, with sections of the world the size of continents being devoured. Yet another reason why the Terminids must be exterminated...
