Eastern Front

The Eastern Front is theater of war during the catastrophic Second Galactic War. The theater opened up on February 8th, 2184, which began constant fighting between Super Earth and the Terminids in this region of the galaxy ever since.

In total, over 50 Billion Terminids have been killed. Over a billion Helldivers have fallen on the Eastern Front, as well as countless S.E.A.F volunteers and innocent civilians. It is becoming apparent that the Second Galactic War is one of the worst losses of life ever experienced in history.
== History ==
=== February 2024 ===
The Eastern Front opened on February 8th. The Terminids are a race of fascistic alien scum who were responsible for this heinous act against peace. Ever since the end of the First Galactic War, Terminids were successfully and peacefully harnessed by Super Earth to create E-710, a valuable resource and the very fuel of Managed Democracy. The special military operations preceding the war began with Terminid revolts on multiple planets. The first plan to resist Terminid invasion began with the "TCS" on various barrier planets in the Orion sector. With the first Automaton attacks coinciding with the emergence of the fascist threat, forces were divided between the two fronts. Fighting was focused in the Orion sector throughout February and early March. 
=== March 2024 ===
With the liberation of Veld in early March, the offensive focus shifted to the Umlaut sector. The Terminid Control System was established here to prevent the coreward spread of fascism. The main front line began to develop within the Umlaut, Draco, and Mirin sectors. These three sectors would consistently see the heaviest fighting between man and bug. The establishment of the TCS temporarily contained the Terminid population to the Outer Rim of the galaxy. 
=== April 2024 ===
With footholds into the Draco and Mirin sectors, Helldiver forces shifted to the Western Front throughout April. The return of the automatons in the Northwest following their complete defeat further reduced Helldiver concentration in the east. As heavy fighting continued throughout April, a brief respot to kill 2,000,000,000 Terminids for E-710 was declared following the establishment of the Menkent-Lesath line in the Northwest. A Terminid counter attack in the Draco and Mirin sectors was launched concurrently with an Automaton one. This terminid breakout was resisted. It is important to note that the fighting in the Draco and Mirin sectors was a constant back-and-forth from this point on. By the end of April, another threat had came from the failure of the TCS. This resulted in the evolution of resistance in the Terminid population, and an enemy breakthrough into the Umlaut sector. The adaptation in the Terminids resulted in their takeover on Meridia, which would go on to transform the world into a super colony. The TCS was successfully deactivated in the Umlaut sector.
=== May 2024 ===
Due to the spores produced by the Meridia Supercolony, Terminid infestations were introduced to the Orion and Jin Xi Sectors. Helldiver forces failed to stop all of these assaults. Later in May, Angel's Venture and Heeth were retaken. A xenocide offensive this month would fail to reach their target number however. With the rapid expansion checked, Helldiver forces began the push to retake the Umlaut sector and destroy the Meridia Supercolony. Two hard offensives led to the recapture of the Umlaut sector and the destruction of Meridia. Meridia was the first planet to be turned into a black hole via the use of dark fluid. 
=== June 2024 ===
Early in June, The Umlaut sector was completely liberated. Fighting by this point was in full swing in the Jin Xi Sector. Later this month, an offensive into the Draco and Mirin sector was successful. Hellmire was a particular stronghold of resistance in this month. Most of the fighting consisted of stagnant back-and-forth combat this month. The first battle of Gacrux also happened this month, the first time Helldivers fought in deep forested swamps. 
=== July 2024 ===
In July, the Falstaff sector was attacked for the first time. Early in this month, an operation was undertaken to liberate the Falstaff and Jin Xi sectors, reducing terminid presence there significantly. A xenocidal operation was also carried out shortly after Operation Starslayer for research purposes. In mid-july, the terminids counterattacked on Hellmire and Esker, and these planets would fall quickly. July has been characterized by disorganized and bogged down liberation campaigns across the frontline.
