Mastia
Mastia is a Desert Dunes Planet in Helldivers 2, located within the Marspira Sector. It is currently under 
Super Earth Federation control.
Lore
Culling Terminids or Procuring the Orbital Napalm Barrage
Mastia, along with Tarsh, were key in the creation of the stratagem. The Automaton manufactories on the two planets were producing polystyrene foam required for napalm. The Helldivers were sent by Super Earth High Command to liberate the planets and retrieve the foam. However, medium-sized Terminid population had soared beyond manageable levels. Under a Major Order, the Helldivers needed to make a decision on what to prioritize; the culling of 45 million Bile Spewers and 100 million Warriors, or the Orbital Napalm Barrage.
The Helldivers ultimately liberated Mastia, followed by Tarsh, immediately providing the Helldivers access to the Orbital Napalm Barrage. Despite their new stratagem, they were unable to cull enough Bile Spewers and Warriors to complete the Major Order, causing Terminid outbreaks and extended work hours for all citizens of classification B and below.
Democracy Space Station Logistics Hub
During Phase 1 of the Democracy Space Station's construction, the Automatons attempted to cut off the DSS Logistics Hub by attacking Mastia from Shelt. Fortunately, their plan was foiled by the Helldivers, who liberated Shelt to shut down the attack, leaving the Automatons in the dark about the DSS's potential capabilities.
Jet Brigade Attack on the DSS & the Mastia Gambit
Mastia would eventually fall under attack by the Jet Brigade as they moved to Gaellivare, seeking to disable the Democracy Space Station. It served as the staging ground for the grueling, 3 day long assault on Gaellivare. Notably, it was the first planet the DSS ever deployed to. Through the use of its Orbital Bombardment capabilities, an attempt was staged to liberate Mastia instead of defending the DSS construction site. The Mastia Gambit would hypothetically sever the supply lines necessary for the attack on Gaellivare.
Pure and unfiltered democratic process then decided it was for the best that the station return to Gaellivare, aiding in prolonging the defense so vital staff may evacuate. With the Mastia Gambit aborted, Mastia would remain in Automaton control for a number of weeks.
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.
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. A Center for Citizen Surveillance & Safety would be built on Mastia after it was secured from threat of further Automaton attack. Safeguarding the CCSS would furthermore aid in halting the relentless tide of Automaton expansion.
Terrain
Known for its sea of dunes reaching far and wide, divided by rocky mesas and plateaus that make up the solid crust of this world, Mastia is a desert world renowned for its intense heat and endless sands. During the day, the heat is never ending, causing overheating to laser weaponry. Most colonies are built upon the rocky plateaus and mesas across the world where they can guard themselves against the all too frequent sandstorms sweeping across the land.
When night falls, Mastia becomes frigid and lively. Laser weaponry no longer overheats as fast, the sandstorms die down, and those that seek to conquer this patriotic planet come out from the night to bring destruction.
