Editing Bellatrix (section)

====Return of the Illuminate====
Bellatrix was an ancient colony of Super Earth from the very first days after the [[First Galactic War]]. Having been identified in times before Managed Democracy, it had always been a fixture in the charts of space navigators. However, with the ongoing war and the lack of FTL Travel Technology, it was unable to be settled until after the invention of the Alcubierre Drive and the victory of Super Earth over its alien enemies.

Once an inhabitable planet was identified in the Bellatrix system, some of the Federation's bravest took on the challenge of settling it and claiming it for the cause of Liberty, labouring its cliffs and grasslands for many solar cycles until, through their hard labor, the colonists of Bellatrix managed to earn enough wealth to build urbanized settlements with commodities such as working electricity, paved roads, working water and waste management and, most important of all, pristine grass lawns on which to pitch Super Earth Flags and Helldiver Memorials.

However, an ancient foe lurked in the shadows, wishing to tear down all that which the children of Managed Democracy had so proudly built. The {{Illuminate}}, blighted by their xenophobic hatred of humankind and blinded by their mystical fervor to their death space cult, could only writhe in envy as it watched such resplendent prosperity.

On December 17th, hours after they had devilishly plundered the colonies of [[Genesis Prime]] and [[Mog]] off their resources and an important portion of its populace, they would initiate an invasion of Bellatrix's own settlements, decided to crush the object of their envy. However, they had stirred the righteous wrath of the Helldivers, who were now thirsting for retribution over their plundered compatriots.

For 12 hours, the Helldivers fought to the best of their ability in order to fend off the Illuminate invaders. After some 6 hours of combat, the Squ'ith raiders would be successfully repelled, preventing further damage to Bellatrix's beautiful settlements.

However, the Illuminate were not ready to accept defeat just yet and sent a second assault onto Bellatrix some weeks later, on January 6th, 2185. This time however, Bellatrix would not count with as many Helldivers as before due to ongoing operations against the Automatons. This time, the Illuminate would not be repelled, as there simply weren't enough Helldivers to contain them.
