Choohe

Choohe is one of the four planets that reside within the Lacaille Sector. According to the supply lines, Choohe is the gateway to Matar Bay and beyond, with the securing of the planet being vital to prevent further automaton expansion into federation space.
== Topography ==
Choohe's landscape is typical of a desert planet on the outer fringes of Federation space, comparable to similar planets like Durgen. Blazingly-hot, its rocky mesas are the sole interruptions to the endless sea of dunes which cover it's entire surface. Whilst they usually last only a few minutes, Choohe's massive sandstorms kick up large amounts of blinding, choking sand which obscures the vision of man and machine alike. Blinding local SEAF and Helldiver forces whilst also confusing the sensors of the invading Automatons. 
The Socialist War Machines have taken advantage of Mesa formations to build their bases on high ground with clear lines of sight. However these same rocky formations also provide much needed cover for assaulting Helldivers.
The only true life to be found on this sand trap planet are a small but hardy verity of Desert scrub and the just as hardy human colonists of Super Earth.
== Operation Legitimate Understanding ==
Despite a valiant resistance, SEAF forces were defeated and ultimately forced to abandon the planet during the early phases of Enduring Bulwark. The planet's fall opened up FTL lanes to Marfark and Menkent, making it's loss all that much harder to bare.
Yet despite the Automaton's unjust and brutal occupation, the loyalty and bravery of Super Earth's surviving citizens shined through. Despite being trapped on Choohe, they were able to test a new Fortification System, vital to the survival of the federation: MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines. These mines are designed to destroy heavily armored vehicles such as walkers and tanks, something desperately needed halt the Automaton's armored spearhead. However with Automaton's closing in on the last survivor enclaves of both Choohe and Penta, time is running out for surviving personnel and equipment for both planets.
Penta would be liberated first, securing it's stores of caustic chemicals and experimental air-burst rocket launchers. Unfortunately the Automatons, in their calculated oppression and hardwired avarice, have stymied our valient efforts to liberate Choohe. The loss of the indispensable explosives on the planet will mean significant delays to the production of Anti-Tank Mines. The explosive technicians on Choohe have almost certainly been torn to pieces by the vicious blades of the Automatons. All will agree that every possible resource was directed towards their salvation. Their sacrifice is hereby honored.
