Editing Claorell (section)

===='''Operation Freedom's Forge'''====
For the past several weeks, development of the [[Democracy Space Station]] has proceeded on-schedule. However the next step to construct the powerful battle station is the establishment of the Deep Mantle Forge Complex. This Deep Mantle Forge will use extreme heat and pressure near a planet's core to create an extremely strong and ductile chronium-cobalt-nickel alloy. The powerful alloy will be required to withstand the acceleration of the immense DSS to warp speeds.

Super Earth was able to identify -- based on atmospheric readings -- that the Automatons were already engaged in deep-mantle mining operations on the moon of Claorell. Thus liberating their mining tunnels and repurposing their facilities became top priority, as it would greatly accelerate the construction of the Deep Mantle Forge. Further, it would deny the Automatons their own access to the high-cost mine network, and reveal insight into their larger intentions. Thus the Helldivers are directed to liberate Claorell and its deep-mantle mining complex from the Automatons.

After 2 days of battling, Imber's defenses collapsed, allowing for its swift liberation, whichthen allowed the Helldivers to move onto Claorell with haste. With merely hours to spare, the Helldivers spared no bullet in liberating the barren moon, managing to liberate it on October 7th, mere hours before the Automatons managed to bring reinforcements onto the planet and securing the tunnel system for Super Earth's miners to build the Deep Mantle Forge Complex, which will allow for the creation of a brand new alloy that will permit the DSS to withstand FTL Warp Jumps.

However, it was also discovered that the Automatons were also developing new alloys in these tunnels in order to create new types of armor plating. More on this development is being investigated by the Ministry of Intelligence.
