| ~ Official Description |
Solghast is one of the three planets that reside within the Gothmar Sector.
Topography & Astrography
Solghast's surface is compromised of a planet-spanning murk, with constant rain and fog, shrouding the planet in near constant half-darkness. Ancient trees tower over the horizon, while more flora obstructs any vision. Many
Helldivers swear by their lives that they have seen pairs of eyes stalking them from under the swamps' dark roots.
Compared to the other type of swamp planet, this biome has a lot less water scattered around the map, making it a bit safer to traverse.
On a cosmic scale, Solghast lies inbetween a cluster of tightly packed and connected systems, close to
Super Earth.
History
As of March 2186, the Second Galactic War has not yet reached this system.
It is unknown for how much longer this status quo will hold, as neighboring Reaf has been under
Illuminate occupation for prolonged period of time.
