Editing Hellmire (section)

==History==

===Special Military Operations===

====Activation of the Terminid Control System ====
Helldiver expeditions first began dropping on Hellmire shortly after the installation of the Terminid Control System on the [[Umlaut Sector|Barrier Planets]], allowing the SEAF to push the hated insectoids into the Mirin and Draco sectors. However, Hellmire's hostile environment made it difficult to stem the tide of fascism there. High Command wisely shifted [[Federation of Super Earth|Super Earth's]] attention to higher-priority targets, especially as the Automaton Front hardened during the siege of [[Tien Kwan]].

====Operation CBCT Protection====
In March 2184, several Civilian Biomass Collection Teams were deployed on Hellmire, alongside [[Fori Prime]], [[Crimsica]] and Estanu. The Helldivers were tasked with maintaining the planet's defense until the operation's completion.

Though inclement weather forced the sacrifices of many brave soldiers, superior work by the Helldivers kept the planet under Super Earth's control. Upon successful completion of the operation, the SEAF tactically retreated to avoid unnecessary occupation-related paperwork. 

====Operation E-710 Farms====
In April 2184, the Helldivers were ordered to liberate and hold control of Hellmire, Crimsica and Estanu to enable the construction of safer, more efficient E-710 farms. This endeavour was carried out flawlessly. Hellmire remained stubbornly resistant to Liberty's hands, yet the Helldivers proved they could tame it with their indomitable spirit.

Unfortunately, the Terminids' hatred for peace knows no bounds. Hordes of bugs quickly overwhelmed the newly-constructed farms, and Hellmire fell into another bloody deadlock.

=== Second Galactic War===

====Failure of the Terminid Control System ====
The unexpected failure of the Terminid Control System prevented the SEAF from approaching Hellmire for several months. Thankfully, on May 30th, 2184, the Terminid Supercolony at [[Meridia]] was utterly eradicated through the Helldivers' judicious deployment of Dark Fluid. This development instantly crippled the Terminid advance, opening a path toward Hellmire once more.

==== Operation Hive Breaker====
The development of the Hive Breaker drill enabled the liberation of planets which had consistently been occupied by the Terminids. In June 2184, High Command ordered its deployment to Hellmire, Estanu, Crimsica, Fori Prime, and [[Nivel 43]].

By the late hours of June 19th, Hellmire had been successfully liberated by the Helldivers. The planet's fiery deserts were doused with Terminid blood, enabling its future colonization. The Ministry of Science has calculated a 102% probability that the Terminids will never return, proving once again that Democracy overcomes all.

====Operation Andromeda====
Hellmire would see its peace cut short once again as, due to the diversion of Helldivers towards the Automaton Front shortly after its liberation, the Terminids would launch multiple assaults upon it and [[Esker]]. While the Helldivers managed to defend Hellmire the first time on July 11th, the second assault came immediately after on July 13th. Due to the ongoing Operation Andromeda funneling the majority of Helldivers towards the Automaton Front, Hellmire fell on July 14th, alongside with Esker and nearby Estanu.

===Post Operation Andromeda===
After the end of Operation Andromeda, [[The Gloom]] quickly began to expand, completely engulfing the world in a matter of hours. The status of Hellmire remains unknown, as any and all ships sent inside have lost signal almost immediately. Ever since, the Terminids have unjustly used this planet as a launching pad by which to consistently trouble [[Fenrir III]] and [[Erata Prime]], forcing the Helldivers to repel their massive gloom-driven incursions time after time. Hopefully, the construction of the [[Democracy Space Station]] can fight back against The Gloom once and for all. But for now, its fate remains uncertain.

==== Operation Emperor's New Brood ====
Since the first apparition of the Gloom that quickly engulfed the Terminid-infested Hellmire, the planet would remain under the clutches of the vile Terminid plague. The Helldivers would constantly have to bat between Fenrir and Erata Prime as they constantly fell under attack from massive Gloom-driven assaults time and time again. Into 2185, and the Helldivers still could not break through the Gloom and remained in a relative standstill on the Eastern Front as a whole following the shocking reappearance of the {{Illuminate2}} in the Galactic South and the movement of the Meridian Singularity toward Super Earth, which necessitated an all-hands-on-deck response to the squid threat.

On February 15, 2185, the bugs at Hellmire thrust themselves back into the spotlight and partially revealed what horrors lie behind the Gloom. A new, mutated strain of bugs known as the Predator Strain would surface on Fenrir III in a mammoth assault on the planet and its Centre of Science. All Helldivers would immediately be ordered to defend the planet to save the Centre and stop this new formidable foe. 

After 35 hours of grueling fighting on Fenrir, the Strain would be defeated impressively and convincingly by the righteous Helldivers. The SEAF wouldn't have long to rejoice however as the same Predator Strain resurfaced on Erata Prime just moments after their defeat at Fenrir.
