| ~ Official Description |
Botein is one of the five planets that reside within the Guang Sector.
Topography[]
Similar to Skaash.
History[]
Second Galactic War[]
Return of the Illuminate[]
Botein was, much like all the colonies in its sector, a peaceful planet colony of Super Earth. Despite being discovered during the First Galactic War, it wouldn't be until the end of the conflict when the first colonists began to arrive to the planet. Following its settlements, not many other events worthy of note would occur, while its economy boomed and allowed for the inhabitants of the planet to finance the construction of urbanized settlements.
However, this prosperity and peace would attract the attention of an old, nefarious foe long thought extinct: The 
Illuminate. On January 7th, the Illuminate sent a raid onto Botein mere hours after their prior success at Brink-2. The Helldivers would have to immediately divert a contingent towards Botein in order to contain the invaders and mitigate the damage as they struggled to coordinate between the three fronts while High Command worked on new orders, however they wouldn't be able to succesfully commit their full strength as they were occupied with operations against the Automatons in the Marspira Sector.
