Super Earth c. 2184. Liberty's Shining City in the Galaxy
Super Earth, being the shining bastion of Prosperity, Liberty and Managed Democracy that it has always been, is possibly the only planet in the entire galaxy to feature multiple biomes. However, due to the Last Great War, its northern hemisphere has been rendered partially uninhabitable. Nevertheless, Super Earth managed to eventually optimize itself into seven separate sectors.
Sector 1[]
Formerly known as "Oceania", Sector 1 is mostly comprised of an arid desert continent formally known as "Australia", along with several tropical islands, archipelagos, and peninsulas that once formed part of a continent called "Asia". It is the home of Mega City 1.
Sector 2[]

Much of Sector 2 consists of lands formerly known as "China" and "Asia", with territory stretching north into the area once known as "Mongolia" and "Siberia". The eastern and central parts of this sector are mostly comprised of ancient mountains and forests. Deserts and parts of an arid steppe are found to the north and west. This Sector is home to the Great Wall of Democracy, as well as Mega City 2.
Sector 3[]
Formerly known as "Russia" by some, and "Scandinavia" by others, Sector 3 is mostly comprised of cold mountains, tundras, fjords and ice fields that will freeze the enemies of freedom. To its north and south lie wasteland zones that cannot be inhabited, being products of the Last Great War. This Sector is home to Prosperity City, the illustrious capital of the Federation of Super Earth. This sector also consists of two islands formerly known as "Greenland" and "Iceland", as well as being home to the Emergency Seed Vault on an island formerly known as "Svalbard."
Sector 4[]
Formerly known as "Europe", Sector 4 is one of the most urbanized in Super Earth, having seen the lion's share of Super Earth's foundational history. To its north lies a now-uninhabitable set of islands formerly known as the "United Kingdom" and "Ireland". This Sector is the home of Mega City 4, and the landscape consists of plains, mountains, and forests. Its southern portion shares the ancient continent of "Africa" with Sector 5, covering much of the western Sahara Desert and the Atlas Mountains.
Sector 5[]
The Pyramids of Super Earth in Sector 5.
Formerly known by the names of "India" and "Arabia", Sector 5 consists of many different lands. It encapsulates areas formerly known as the "Arabian Peninsula", "India", the southern portion of the ancient continent of "Asia", and the easternmost portion of the ancient continent of "Africa" in which it is rumoured that the first humans were born. Much of the sector is dry and hot, with over half of the sector consisting of scorching deserts. It possesses two of the last three remaining rainforests and is home to Mega City 5 and the Pyramids of Super Earth.
Sector 6[]
Formerly known as "Latin America", Sector 6 consists of the Central and Southern portions of the ancient continent of "America". It also manages the southern portions of the land formerly known as "the United States of America". This sector is home to Mega City 6 and houses one of the last three remaining rainforests.
Sector 7[]
Superstone National Park in Sector 7.
Formerly known as "the United States of America", Sector 7 consists of the Northern portions of the ancient continent of "America". This Sector is rumoured to have been the birthplace of Super Earth's core tenets of Freedom and Democracy, with its inhabitants having a reputation of high patriotism and love for their compatriots, values that would later be imprinted into all Super Earth citizens.
Sector 7 is home to Mega City 7, as well as Superstone National Park.
Oceans and Poles[]
About 70% of Super Earth's surface is covered by water, which required the division of its oceanic surface into 3 sections:
- Liberty Ocean (formerly known as the "Pacific Ocean")
- Atlantic Ocean
- Pan-Asian Ocean (formerly known as the "Indian Ocean")
There used to be permafrost ice caps on both the north and south poles of Super Earth known as "Antarctica" and "the Arctic". However, these ice caps were melted away at some point prior to the First Galactic War, as their ice was incapable of sustaining all of mankind's Prosperity.

History[]
Creation of Earth[]
Super Earth, or Earth as it was previously known, was formed 4.5 billion years ago. It was a hot, empty planet with extreme temperatures and oceans of lava. Later on, a planet roughly the same size as Mars, named Theia, collided with Earth. The rock and debris from this collision formed a ring around the Earth until it eventually coalesced into the Super Moon.
Life on Earth[]
The planet eventually began to cool, and oceans of liquid water would cover most of its surface. Life would come to thrive on the planet, and some creatures went on to colonize the land, one day evolving into Humans.
Ancient Civilisations[]
The first Human civilization was located in Mesopotamia. Other civilizations arose in Greece, Egypt, India, China, and Central America. These societies were mostly agricultural, located near rivers and fertile land.
Modern Civilization[]
An Industrial Revolution took over the world with the invention of steam power, allowing for the entire world to be colonized and claimed. Millions found employment, and the economy flourished. One hundred years after the first Industrial Revolution, the first major global conflict would begin, known as World War One. The war would grip the world for four long years until the Treaty of Versailles ended the war on November 11th, 1918. Twenty-one years of peace would come to pass until World War Two, lasting six years and ending with a Japanese surrender on September 2nd, 1945. The post-war world would then find itself embroiled in a Cold War between the victors of World War Two, the United States and the Soviet Union.
The Last Great War[]
The Last Great War was a major conflict that reduced the majority of the Northern Hemisphere into a wasteland. It is unknown when the war occurred, but it was likely sometime during the late 20th or early 21st century; certainly, before 2016.[1] It is believed that the conflict involved nuclear weapons, as Last Great War wasteland zones can be seen on the Super Earth map - implying there was a nuclear exchange during this war. The conflict most likely included the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, and China. Most of Russia's population centres were wiped out along with the entire United Kingdom, as well as Ireland, some parts of Canada, Alaska, Greenland, and Siberia, all of which remain wasteland zones 200 years later, as seen on a 2184 map. Although they were possibly affected as well, the rest of the former United States and China contain no wasteland zones as of 2184.
Establishment of the 
Federation of Super Earth[]

Out of the dust of the Last Great War, one government stood tall. They created a new way of government, Managed Democracy, and achieved total unification of the planet to a previously unseen extent. They ventured far out into space, proclaiming themselves as the 
Federation of Super Earth, thus creating a utopia of Freedom and Prosperity.
No enemy of the Federation had ever even come close to contesting with Super Earth; not even a three front war against Humanity could threaten it. However, recent events have been painting a worrying picture. The Gloom creeps across the Galaxy with no sign of stopping, the 
Automatons have encroached on Federation space to get as close as one sector away from the home of Managed Democracy, and the 
Illuminate have returned after a hundred-year exile, abducting Super Earth citizens for vile purposes. And even after a second defeat, they refused to fall without anything more than total extinction.
Second Galactic War[]
Invasion of Super Earth[]
For generations, Super Earth stood unmolested and uncontested as a bastion of peace, hope, Freedom and Justice in the galaxy. But as the Second Galactic War developed, not even the most sacrosanct of places would be left untouched by its nefarious, despicable foes.

On May 13th, 2185, Station 81 would detect Spacetime Fluctuations around the vicinity of the 
Meridian Singularity. It was unmistakeable: the Illuminate, who had been thought eradicated after the activation of the Repulsive Gravity Field Generator, had returned once again. And what is worse, they returned with their worst, most abominable weapons alongside them: The Great Host, a massive fleet of Illuminate ships, was spotted by the Station 81 satellites shortly before their destruction.
A State of Extratyrannical Emergency was immediately declared. Illuminate Victory Parties were quickly converted into Rapid Enlistment Events. The heart of Managed Democracy was believed to be the Great Host's ultimate target, its objective being an invasion of Super Earth itself.
3 planets laid between the Great Host and Super Earth: New Haven, Pilen V and Widow's Harbor. While Cross-Ministry projections predicted that a battle on Super Earth would be inevitable, all military personnel were immediately ordered to these 3 planets, in order to delay the advance of the Great Host and deliver as much damage as possible while Super Earth's Mega Cities bolstered their defenses.
Within hours of the call to arms going out, over 120,000 
Helldivers would answer, easily the largest force of Helldivers assembled since the siege of Calypso. Meanwhile, the planetary defenses of Super Earth were being bolstered with the help of volunteer civilians young and old, who refused to abandon the heart of Managed Democracy. Many citizens "carried on" working in the face of invasion, whilst others aided the war effort with home gardens and even dissidents would be drafted to join the fight.[2]
