Omicron

Omicron is one of the seven planets that reside within the L'estrade Sector. Omicron is the farthest planet that Super Earth forces have ever managed to spread Democracy into, marking the summit of the Terminid Front. It is the only planet with supply lines leading out of its sector but it is also the only planet disconnected from the rest of its own system.
== Topography ==
Omicron stands as the Terminids' attempt at mockery of beautiful Angel's Venture. It possesses perennial forests and shrubs that can allure even the most loyal of Helldivers, only for them to be gnawed and maimed by the merciless insectoids. High caution is advised, as its sights and landscapes have been deviously left untouched in order to stun Helldivers with their siren call, leaving them exposed to many unforeseen ambushes.
Nevertheless, Omicron's temperate montane climate also makes it very alluring for colonization efforts, with many comparing it to the ancient Alps and the ancient "Black Forest" of Sector 4 or the ancient forests that could once be found on the northern portions of Sector 7.
== History ==
Omicron itself has never been the target of any Super Earth High Command issued orders. However, the brave Helldivers took it upon themselves to conduct several expeditions into Omicron, going so far as to reaching around 80% liberation of the planet in April 2184, only being unable to fully liberate it due to the failure of the Terminid Control System and the Automaton Invasion of Cyberstan, which left it unable to be accessed. Below, the tales of the expeditions into Omicron have been logged by the Ministry of Defense' Bureau for War Chronicling and Helldiver Glory Preservation.
=== Special Military Operations ===
==== First Expedition - March 2184 ====
The planet was once the site of a military Expedition. A small expedition of at least three thousand super destroyers commanded by the Helldivers attempted to liberate the world during the initial Mirin Sector Offensive during the slow march to Zagon Prime, and after the initial liberation of Oshaune. Omicron had also become the world with the highest known Terminid resistance recorded at the time.
Helldivers were swarmed very quickly after landing, quickly making the battle for the planet known infamously as the "L'estrade Expedition Expedition" due to the high number of casualties that had quickly accumulated (even by helldiver standards) which started discouraging Helldivers from assaulting the planet. The expedition hastily retreated after Oshaune and Hellmire fell, which coincided with the commencement of Operation Swift Disassembly in the Trigon Sector, leaving only a few stranded Helldivers on Omicron who were listed as Missing-In-Action, as well as a number of unaccounted-for Super Destroyers that were still running surveys in the L'estrade Sector. High Command would reportedly express interest in eventually returning to Omicron and bringing the rest of the L'estrade Sector back under SEAF control in future campaigns.
==== Second Expedition - April 2184 ====
A number of weeks after the First Expedition, Oshaune was again liberated and the Helldivers mounted another expedition into the L'esterade Sector, now with four times the manpower. Starting with Omicron once again, the level resistance encountered on the planet was interestingly lower compared to the first expedition, with skeletal remains of giant unknown Terminid creatures being sighted more often. High Command additionally tasked Helldivers with recovering whatever high-value assests that were stored on Omicron. 
Later however, in an act of sinister syncronicity, both the Terminids and Automatons launched large-scale assaults across the galaxy. The second L'estrade Expedition was put on hold, with the Helldivers being pulled back in a more organized manner compared to the last time and in an effort to defend Super Earth's citizens on two fronts at once.
Eventually Oshaune was once again liberated a week later, and the second Expedition resumed again but with numbers reduced to just over three thousand Helldivers active on Omicron upon resumption of the expedition, the number would swell to over forty thousand a day later. Omicron would be mostly liberated eventually as the Helldivers had secured most of the planet on April 29th, largely avenging the shameful defeat incurred more than a month earlier. 
However, due the failure of the TCS system, the Helldivers had to put a stop to any plans of fully liberating Omicron. With the TCS causing the bugs to mutate at a rapid pace, all SEAF forces were ordered to the Umlaut Sector, with the remaining Terminids on Omicron launching a fierce counter attack now that the majority of Super Earth's forces were off world. Progress made on Omicron was quickly lost, with only some operational successes like the successful evacuation of civilians, scientists and high-value assets.
As of July 3rd, there is only 1 Super Destroyer above Orbit, still scanning and observing the planet.
