Editing Achird III (section)

==== Operation Ring of Freedom ====
Achird once again came under attack shortly after announcement of Operation Ring of Freedom. Despite not being the target of the Major Order, its position as a stepping stone towards Turing made it obvious bugs would use it as staging ground for their next infestations. Helldivers mobilized enmasse to save this planet from fascist incursions.

Despite the strategic importance of the planet, the defense was suffering from a severe lack of reinforcements, as the majority of divers continued their work on Pandion-XXIV. It was only during the early hours of October 12th, that divers begun to move towards Achird III, as more and more began to realize the defense was possible. 

With heroic fervor, Helldivers fought with guns and nails to save the world, eventually turning the tide of battle less than 2 hours before bugs amassed critical mass on the surface.  With less than 8 minutes to spare, the last Terminid nests would be expunged and their larvae sufficiently purged, granting victory to the Helldivers in one of the closest defense saves of the Second Galactic War up to that point as celebration erupted across the planet's surface. Many platoons of Helldivers would refer to this event as the "Miracle of Achird III" from hereon.

The shocking and unexpected defense of the planet wouldn't go unrecognized. Immediately following the brilliant defense, Super Earth High Command dispatched a victory message stating that the Helldivers' victory on a razor's edge was their highest level of bravery and valor shown since the Battle of [[Mort]] against the Automatons in the early days of the war. Achird III stood tall, the planet perhaps one of the brightest beacons of freedom anywhere in the galaxy. 

To all the soldiers who participated and gave their lives in the defense of Achird III, particularly into the nighttime and morning hours of the battle, this here stands as their recognition and commemoration of their service in the most high stakes of situations.
