Gaellivare
Gaellivare is a Volcanic Jungle Planet in Helldivers 2, located within the Talus Sector. It is currently under 
Automaton Legion control.
Lore
Months after the excavation of the plans for the Democracy Space Station on X-45, Super Earth was ready to begin construction on the station. The first step was to secure a planet which housed a large enough magnetosphere for safe construction of the station. The only two planets that had a sufficient magnetosphere where Clasa and Gaellivare, both under Automation control which High Command allowed the Helldivers to pick.
The Helldivers selected Gaellivare, and construction on the Democracy Space Station began in orbit around Gaellivare upon liberation.
The Jet Brigade Assault on the DSS
As the Automaton Jet Brigade moved towards Gaellivare through the Marspira Sector, the DSS was all but ready to go. Mere hours before the Automaton attack on Gaellivare would begin, a sufficient amount of E-710 would finally be gathered and the station would be brought online. While the bots gathered their forces on Mastia, Helldivers engaged in sample donations and due democratic process.
The Mastia Gambit & Mission "Success"
For this reason, the DSS would be absent from Gaellivare for most of the attack, as Mastia would be chosen to be its first target. While the DSS rained Orbital Bombardment on Automaton forces (and the forces attempting to liberate the planet), the bots would make considerable process on the DSS' construction site.
Evidently, the progress was such that the Mastia Gambit was aborted and the DSS returned to Gaellivare so it may aid in its defense. Bot progress was halted by the Eagle Storm, leaving the planet in the throes of Automaton assault even as the Major Order had expired.
Though Automaton forces were still present planet-side, the DSS had apparently provided enough time to evacuate enough key personnel and resources to deem the Major Order a "success".
Routing the Jet Brigade
Despite this, Gaellivare would ultimately fall as the DSS moved to contain the outbreak at the Terminid Research Preserve, and Helldiver attention went with it.
Jet Brigade forces planet-side had staged an attack on Imber, threatening the Talus Sector further. Not without help from SEAF troops gaining up to 20% ground, Gaellivare would return under Super Earth control - though not before the Jet Brigade would claim Imber. Cut off from Gaellivare's supply lines, the Jet Brigade would find itself routed, bringing Super Earth ahead in the Major Order.
The FREEDOM Act and the Center for Citizen Surveillance & Security
Following a swath of ruinous attacks by the Illuminate, the Ministry of Unity would enact the Freedom & Readiness to Enable Effective Defense & Obstruction of Mind-Influence Act of 2184, or FREEDOM Act. Part of this new act involved the creation of a new security force that would enforce loyalty, act against threats of mind control and generally enhance security all around the Super Earth Federation. Mastia was chosen as the headquarters of this new force, with a Center for Citizen Surveillance & Study scheduled for construction.
Automaton dropships would once again fill the skies over Gaellivare as the Helldivers had been tasked to create a defensive perimeter around Mastia. Being under Automaton control for long enough to ensure no living traitors would compromise the Center, Mastia was chosen as the headquarters of this new force. Gaellivare provided a supply route to Mastia, making it top priority for defense.
Though the planet would fall under Automaton control, concentrated offensive effort would see it liberated on time to achieve mission success.
Terrain
Thriving with abundant life caused by fertile soils built up over centuries of volcanic activity, Gaellivare is home to large volcanos and tropical jungles. Divided into two major continents and thousands of scattered islands, the tropical jungles of Gaellivare offer both beautiful sights and horrible battle conditions.
Thick trees and flora cover almost every location, separated by volcanic outcroppings and lagoons. In the distance, colossal volcanos can be seen that often rage due to the intense combat activity, causing volcanic eruptions that spew flaming magma onto the neighboring isles that start forest fires. Tropical storms are all too frequent as well, causing visibility to be reduced under the blinding weight of rain and high winds that tear through the isles.
