Aesir Pass

is one of the three planets that reside within the Hydra Sector. Its landscape generally consists of dead, coral-like flora with the occasional purple parasitic flower growing on top of it, similar to Penta, Nivel 43, and Troost
This planet marks the border between the Hydra and Marspira Sectors, as it contains the only FTL line that goes into it through Curia. 
==Topography==
A cold, grey and rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Permafrost covers most of the surface except for the more temperate equatorial regions. The low temperatures cause evaporation of water to be slow. Much of the planet experiences seasonal rain and fog in the summers, as water gathers in bogs and ponds. A stable biosphere exists but vegetation is mostly limited to mosses, lichens and violet flowers seen on other primordial worlds.
==History==
=== Second Galactic War ===
For the most part Aesir Pass was able to avoid the rigors of the second galactic war, at least until the Automaton reclamation and their surprise invasion of the Valdis sector. With the Automaton fleet advancing towards super earth, High Command established the Menkent Line in order to stop the fleet, however the Automaton's then attempted to go around the line by trying to flank through Marfark and then, presumably, continue their advance through Aesir Pass, but thankfully the attempt was thwarted on Menkent and so Aesir Pass was able to avoid becoming a battlefield... for the time being.
After the Lesath breach and the attack on Vernen Wells; war would come to Aesir and after the official declaration of the Galactic War on Tyranny, the planet would be one of the four chosen by Super Earth High Command to be the location of new training facilities, required to process the Billions of able-bodied citizens from across the Federation who volunteered for conscription. 
==== Operation Destiny Manifested ====
Aesir Pass would go through the rest of the month of May untouched, save for a couple Automaton assaults that would be quickly repelled. However, as Super Earth High Command refocused its efforts into the containment of the Terminid Supercolony, the Automaton Front slowly collapsed, with Vernen Wells falling during Operation Freedom's Calling and having its forward base destroyed, which permanently crippled the SEAF's ability to assist the Helldivers in liberation campaigns.
Shortly after the destruction of Meridia, as new liberation campaigns were ordered, Aesir Pass would face its third Automaton assault of the war, now being very understaffed and undersupplied. ByJune 6, Aesir Pass had fallen and its SEAF Training Facilities were destroyed.
==== Operation Trolley Problem (June 11th - 12th) ====
On June 11th, High Command has recieved two urgent pleas for rescue. One coming from Vernen Wells, and other from Marfark. From Wells, plea for rescue of civilians stranded in Super Citizen Anne's Hospital For Very Sick Children, while the one from Marfark shown that Automatons hold hostage the final components for Anti Tank Mines, stolen from Choohe. With both planets behind the frontlines, Helldivers decided to begin their breakthrough on Aesir Pass. 
By June 12th, the Helldivers successfully liberated Aesir Pass, allowing the battle to flow towards both of the planets designated for liberation by the Major Order, with Vernen Wells being the clear favorite. 
==== Operation Starslayer ====
Whilst the details of the project remain highly classified, during the first Galactic War an advanced weapons lab on the planet of X-45 was working on the development of a powerful interplanetary battle station. However the project was abandoned along with the laboratory (and the planet) due to high levels of radiation on X-45 -- possibly nuclear in nature. 
Automatons shortly after learnt of this endeavor through cyber attacks on Super Earth network infrastructure, and launched a series of massive attacks from neighboring Meissa on July 3rd, 2184. At the same time, SEAF has announced a massive mobilization of troops on Aesir Pass, to further strike at automatons once the excavation on X-45 ends. The amassment of troops was interrupted on afternoon of July 6th, when Automatons, fearing a cut off from their southern claims, attacked the pass with massive force. With Helldivers already stretched thin in Ymir sector, and other half of their force farming Terminids, the defense prospect looked grim. The stationed SEAF infantry fought to their last man, as the Helldivers, being stretched between the defenses of Meissa, Vega Bay and Aesir Pass, could not arrive in time to help relief their brethren. 
However, their sacrifice was not in vain, as despite all the losses, X-45 would be successfully defended and the plans for the intergalactic battle station secured.
==== Operation Andromeda ====
With hearts heavy from the recent massacre, and shortly after conducting a short weapons test on the Terminids, Super Earth Command would issue a new major order: In the name of the slain SEAF soldiers and with the momentum behind them after their victory on X-45, the Helldivers now had to secure Aesir Pass, alongside Marfark, Matar Bay and Martale. If victorious, this operation will sever the Automaton Front in half and turn the tide of war in Super Earth's favor.
Our slain brethren awaits retribution, do not let them through.
