Zefia is one of the six planets that reside within the Tanis Sector.
Topography[]
History[]
Second Galactic War[]
Operation Bulwark of Democracy[]
Zefia was, for most of the Second Galactic War, a peaceful planet colony that Super Earth had settled at some point after the First Galactic War, serving mostly as a xenobiology outpost where scientists could research on all forms of alien fauna and flora. However, the Automatons, envious of Super Earth's progress and prosperity, would force Zefia into the conflict.
On September 19th, the Automatons would violently occupy the nearby planet of Clasa. However, thanks to the Helldivers' righteous interference, they would be unable to make much moves onto any of the planets connected. As such, Zefia stood on guard as it monitored the developing Automaton force on Clasa while discretely evacuating its research materials.
For almost a whole month, the colonists at Zefia watched Clasa closely, anticipating an attack. On October 9th, 2184, their expectations became true, as the Automatons launched an attack onto Zefia. However, in their delay, they had allowed the Helldivers to mobilize towards Zefia en masse. Zefia was successfully defended by the end of the day and allowed the Helldivers to return to other planets without much incident.
Interim (Oct. 22nd - Oct. 23rd)[]
Ever since, Zefia has remained free. However, the Automatons, as baked into their programming, could not bear to see free and prosperous planets. As such, they would launch an attack onto Zefia on October 22nd, pretty much hours after their special strike force, the Jet Brigade, had been decisively defeated at Marfark. This attack would be very well timed with an attack at Gatria from the 
Terminids.
Given the lack of a major order, the higher priority of other operations and the remoteness of Zefia, the Automatons would encounter no resistance and would capture Zefia the next day.
FTL Lines[]
- Clasa (Established on September 18, 2184)

- Yed Prior (Re-established on September 18, 2184)
FTL Timeline[]
- February 8th, 2184: Zefia is connected by FTL to Demiurg and Yed Prior.
- June 13th, 2184: FTL lines to Demiurg and Yed Prior are destroyed.
- September 18th, 2184: FTL line to Yed Prior is re-established, plus a new line to Clasa.
- October 28th, 2184: New FTL line to Mintoria is established.
Trivia[]
- Following the implementation of patch 01.002.101, players partaking in difficulty 3, “sabotage supplies” mission types would discover what appeared to be Automaton urban maps, with mines in the streets, turrets and bunkers set up. This is likely a glitch or future content accidentally implemented as part of the patch.
