Tibit

Tibit is one of the five planets that reside within the Severin Sector. It compares quite similarly to Turing in the Umlaut Sector. As part of operation Swift Disassembly, intel analysts were able to identify the planet as the most significant producer of illegal Automaton combatants in the sector.

Liberating this planet would significantly impact the enemy’s capacity to replenish decommissioned socialists. It would also limit further theft of the planet’s natural resources from future generations of inarguably sentient humans. However following the setback that was the Ubanea Gambit and despite a valiant effort by the Helldivers to regain the initiative even with the failure of a major order looming, the Automatons would ultimately hold Tibit and it's manufacturing facilities, at least for the time being.

In the aftermath the Automatons would begin increasing production elsewhere through the use of Factory Striders and Gunship Facilities, decreasing Tibits strategic value. However intercepted bot chatter includes expressions of great sorrow for the "murder" of in-development bots - a transparent attempt at disinformation, as bots can neither feel nor be considered alive. Even so, the simulated oaths of vengeance may indicate actual strategic intent. With a counteroffensive likely...

Topography
Tibit is comparable to Turing in the Umlaut Sector, with it's landscape characterized by dense forests and rocky terrain. Some Helldivers have also referred to Tibit to as a purple Malevelon Creek, both due to some similar terrain and it's status as a major Automaton stronghold.
