The Sten Sector is a sector found on the Eastern Front in Helldivers 2. It consists of 5 planets. Sten is a Scandinavian male given name. Literally meaning "stone", it derives from a literal translation of Peter into the North Germanic languages. Notable individuals with the name include. Sten Abel (1872–1942), Norwegian sailor.
The sector has been overrun by the Terminids ever since the start of galactic hostilities. As such the entire sector was quarantined by Super Earth High Command, and any attempts to retake them have been prohibited until very recently.
As the time went on, the Second Galactic War was declared, and eventually The Gloom began emerging in the Galaxy. Despite not originating from the sector, the interstellar spore cloud expanded till it consumed one of the sector's planets, Azur Secundus. Shortly after, Supply Lines were established, allowing for Helldivers to begin liberating the sector -- starting with the planet of Trandor.
