~ Official Description |
Inari is one of the five planets that reside within the Korpus Sector.
Topography[]
If the planet of Inari ever support life, then it was long before the Federation stepped foot on the world. The environment is typical of a "Boneyard" type world; an extremely cold and thin atmosphere, with only the hardiest of human colonists and native lichen surviving for any length of time. Whilst there are some sparse colonies on the planets surface, unlike other planets within the Korpus Sector, Inari possesses no major cities and were it not for it's connections to other
History[]
Crucible was, for much of its recorded history, a peaceful planet colony in the Eastern Galactic Mid Rim. Having been settled during the Great Democratization after the end of the First Galactic War although unlike it's neighbors in the Korpus Sector, Inari would never thrive on account of the planet's hostile environment. Even so, whilst it was not prosperous it was at least a quiet world and somewhat peaceful world though this was never to last.
Second Galactic War[]
Operation Pest Control[]
Early in February 2184, Inari would have to cut itself off the Federation's FTL Network alongside the rest of the Korpus Sector in order to prevent the Terminids at Veld from possibly spreading farther south, a move that would unfortunately only delay the inevitable. Whilst Inari would be spared the horrors of the
Illuminate terror campaign, an outbreak of the
Predator Strain would overwhelm the neighboring Orion and Celeste Sectors, with Veld, Slif and Krakatwo falling to the
Terminids.
Then, on June 10th, 2185, the Terminids launched a massive onslaught onto both Crucible and Alta V. Super Earth High Command immediately issued a major order for the Helldivers to hold all planets in the Korpus Sector by all means necessary. Spore-fall would occur on Inari on the 11th of June, with outbreaks of the
Predator Strain occurring across the planet. The few
S.E.A.F. garrisons were immediately overwhelmed, requiring an intervention by the
Helldivers. Despite a valiant effort by the
Helldivers to hold the world, too much of the corps were unfortunately spread across other, more strategically vital planets across the sector. Twenty four hours later, the defenses of the
S.E.A.F. defenders collapse barely an hour before the terminid swarm was predicted to break.
Almost immediately the Predator Strain would spread to nearby Alta V, ensuring the planet's fall in similarly short order. Inari itself would be liberated two days later on the 14th of June, with the having to immediately split themselves once more to defend the planet of Caramoor and liberate Alta V. Let Inari be a reminder that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance... and a well oiled military complex.
