Gacrux

is one of the six planets that reside within the Jin Xi Sector. 
== Topography ==
A veritable green maze, Gacrux flora is dense and ever present. Planet features frequent but small elevation changes from rocky hills into waterlogged channels and reservoirs. Helldivers should exercise caution, as the waters are treacherous. What from distance may look like ankle deep water, is in reality a very deep lake that one can very easy drown in mere seconds after stepping off from the shoreline.
The planet is also dotted with ancient fossilized trees, some reaching far above the current tree line. The Massive amounts of evergreen block line of sight, but they can be use as reliable cover thanks to their sheer thickness. Additionally, the planet features a network of gas vents, located randomly throughout the surface. Yellowish in color and emiting a green smoke, any kind of fire or bullet ignites it, causing a fiery explosion in their proximity.
== History ==
=== Second Galactic War ===
Located in remote part of Jin Xi Sector, this planet avoided the wave of Terminid infestation during The Meridian Supercolony Crisis that spilled from Umlaut Sector in early June of 2184. Once the crisis receded, its FTL Supply Lines would be restored on June 13th.
==== Operation Hive Breaker ====
On June 20th, 2184, local colony officials confirmed landing of Terminid Spores, later calculated to have arrived from Fori Prime through what appears to be a newly created FTL Line. The defenses collapsed on the midnight of June 21st, prompting the immediate calls for a liberation campaign of the swampy planet. The planet has sadly been stuck in a stalemate ever since, as other operations with higher priority have required Helldivers be diverted away from it.
== FTL Lines ==
* Fori Prime - Draco Sector (Established on June 20, 2184)
* Acamar IV (Re-established on June 13, 2184)
* Pandion XXIV (Re-established on June 13, 2184)
== Trivia ==
* Before Patch 1.000.400 Gacrux was a planet comparable to Angel's Venture or Omicron with both being Taiga Forested world with cold climates.
