Sorola Sun

Sorola Sun is a Moon that Orbits the Planet of Sorola located within the Universal System, that was best known for the Destruction of the Third Army of Helghan, and the first ever Clash between the Coralition Republic, and the Helghast Empire during the Second Extrasolar War in 2364.

Under the Third Army
At some point in the Second Extrasolar War, the Third Army of Helghan landed on the Moon on September 28th, and was able to establish a vast variety of defenses and structures along the Moon around 8 different Sectors, with the command center being at the center.

At the time of the Third Army's occupation, the Moon was mined for resources for Helghan as it was revealed that Sorola Sun was held trillions of resources that could be used to fuel the Helghast War effort against both the ISA and UCA forces at the time, however the Helghast would have no idea of knowing that their mining efforts would eventually stand in the path of a Coralition Invasion.

Battle of Sorola Sun
At some point on October 5th, 2364, Sorola Sun came under fire by as surprise Coralition Invasion, which despite heavy resistance conducted by the Helghast at Sector 8, the Helghast were pushed from the area allowing the Coralition to not only gain a foothold on Sorola Sun, but also opened up the first time ever that the Helghast would ever encounter the Coralition Republic.

Despite the bloody surprise attack the Third Army counter attacked and reclaimed the region throwing off the Coralition Republic, however the tide soon turned when more and more Coralition ships started to arrive at Sorola Sun to the point that the Third Army navy that was at the time fueling up on Helghan had to race back to Sorola Sun in order to aide the Third Army forces in the upcoming Invasion.

During the first 2 days, the Third Army was able hold back the Coralition Republic at Sector 8 until the deployment of super tanks which surprised the Third Army and decimated most of Sector 8 by October 9th, 2364, forcing the Third Army to divert all of its army against Sector 8. Despite severe attempts to hold against the Coralition the Republic was able to push the Third Army back one Sector at a time, to the point that by October 14th, 2364, the Coralition was completely able to overrun the Third Army Navy in orbit, and deploy troops all around the moon, making it narrowly impossible for the Third Army to defend all sectors at once.

By October 15th, the Coraltion was able to launch one final attack against the Third Army which smashed through their lines and obliterated the remaining Sectors that were around the Moon's surface completely trapping the Third Army at Sector 5, where the official Command center was located. With their forces being overrun, the Third Army attempted to try and evacuate the moon, but their transports were shot down due to a single Coralition cruiser that broke the atmosphere and began guarding the skies, preventing the Third Army from escaping.

With no means of escape, the Third Army fought on for hours until 11:45 PM when the Coralition eventually overwhelmed the exhausted Third Army slaughtering them all including the Commander and General Joseph Lente in the Process, allowing the Republic to gain control of the Moon.

Post Sorola Sun
Following the Engagement at Sorola Sun and the elimination of the Third Army, the Coralition Republic remained on Sorola Sun for about 4 hours, before they eventually continued their advance deeper into the Universal System.

Since then, Sorola Sun has remained vacant and abandoned, even though it was revealed that Col Radec at one point arrived with a Helghast relief fleet in hopes of making it to save the Third Army prior to the news spreading of the Third Army's destruction, only to find the planet abandoned, war torn. It would be from Radec and his forces on how Helghan would learn about the destruction of the Third Army on Sorola Sun on October 15th, 2364.

Following the Battle on the Moon, Sorola Sun would be abandoned and left vacant for the rest of the Second Extrasolar War, and beyond until a group of Human colonial explorers from Everest arrived on the Moon about 375 years later in the 28th Century in the year 2509, where it was eventually revealed that most of the old Structures bases and equipment that was left behind by the Third Army still remained on the Moon, despite it being vacant for over 300 years.

Terrain
The Moon was described to have had a breathable Atmosphere, as General Lente was able to venture on it without a helmet, and was known to be a rock of barren wasteland and mountains.

The Moon itself was known to be extremely Mountainous and very hazardous for massive Armies to clash, however during the Second Extrasolar War the Coralition Republic, during the Battle of Sorola Sun was able to beat the Moon's own terrain thanks to their advancements of technology and Giant Tanks, that they were able to unleash against the Helghast Third Army at the time back in 2364.

The moon is also described to have a very weak atmosphere, where despite it being breathable, it was revealed that during the Battle of Sorola Sun, that some of the planets gravity is not as strong which could allow those to jump at tremendous heights, but only at a certain distance before coming back down, the cause of this was never known, though it was mentioned by Joseph Lente, that the thin and weak atmosphere of Sorola Sun was known to be an unavoidable hazard for both sides during the Battle of Sorola Sun.

At the time of the Third Army's occupation of Sorola Sun, the Moon was known to have been divided in 8 sectors, with the most important being in the center, and the most heaviest of defenses being on the outer parameters, when the Coralition Republic Invaded Sorola Sun in order to clash with the Third Army for the first time, the Battle of Sorola Sun would occur at Sector 8, which would be in the flatlands just outside the mountain regions of the Moon's rocky terrain before the war spread to the rest of the 7 Sectors before the Third Army was overrun and destroyed.

As of 2709, the Helghast base and most of the Third Army structures that were left behind following the Battle of Sorola Sun were known to still be present on the Moon but were left deteriorated after about 345 years of being abandoned, when the Moon was visited by an unidentified group of Humans from Planet Everest as part of a mission for colonial expansion in the first years of the 28th Century.
