Zosma is one of the five planets that reside within the Gellert Sector.
History[]
Second Galactic War[]
Operation Steel Quarry[]
Despite being right next to the Valdis Sector, Zosma enjoyed peace, freedom, and democracy for the entirety of 2184 and most of 2185. However, the 
Automatons, led by the 
Incineration Corps, launched an assault on the planet in the early hours of June 2185. With most of the forces diverted away from the desolate planet, Zosma would be left to fend for itself. Luckily, after the successful defense of Varylia 5, the 
Helldivers would deploy to Zosma and, aided by the 
Democracy Space Station, would end the Automaton assault on the planet around 40 hours later.
Operation Pillar of Dawn[]
Since its successful defense, Zosma went on quietly, attempting to rebuild from the powerful Automaton incursion it had just experienced. This would be a difficult endeavor, as the planet was cut off from any outside support after the Automatons took control of its only neighbor, Zzaniah Prime, in May 2185. As such, the robots would continue to menace the planet, biding their time to strike at the lonely moon again in the near future.
By the end of Operation Jet Crusade, Zosma was luckily left untouched, watching on as the augmented Automaton 
Jet Brigade wreaked havoc across the Marspira, Nanos, and Sagan Sectors. Some days later, the Helldivers were issued new Orders to liberate Gar Haren and Gatria from the 
Terminids as part of the set-up for a new Helldiver training facility on Zegema Paradise. With the Helldivers now relocated away from the Automaton front, a certain robotic menace was waiting to take advantage of this newfound opportunity.
Late at night on July 3, with the Helldivers making a concerted push on Gar Haren, the Automatons of Zzaniah Prime would waste no time in assembling a strike force, and nine Automaton invasion fleets would appear in Zosma's atmosphere with the intent to take over the lonely, frigid world for good.
The few Helldivers present out West would try to divert whatever resources and manpower they had to try to stop the invading Automatons from taking over the isolated planet. From the very get-go, the planet looked to be in dire straits, with there simply not being enough Helldivers to halt the Automaton advances on the ground.
Eventually, by midnight on July 4, Zosma had fallen to the Automatons, and with its fall, the entirety of the Gellert Sector was closed off from the FTL Network, with every planet except the isolated Minchir (not connected to the FTL Network) left to rot under the mechanical grip of the Automatons. With Zosma and the rest of the Sector's position on the far northern galactic fringe, it is likely the bots will hold Zosma and the rest for some time.
