Summary: We provide the dictionary between four-dimensional gauged supergravity and type II compactifications on \(\mathbb T^6\) with metric and gauge fluxes in the absence of supersymmetry breaking sources, such as branes and orientifold planes. Secondly, we prove that there is a unique isotropic compactification allowing for critical points. It corresponds to a type IIA background given by a product of two 3-tori with \(\mathrm{SO}(3)\) twists and results in a unique theory (gauging) with a non-semisimple gauge algebra. Besides the known four AdS solutions surviving the orientifold projection to \(\mathcal N=4\) induced by O6-planes, this theory contains a novel AdS solution that requires non-trivial orientifold-odd fluxes, hence being a genuine critical point of the \(\mathcal N=8\) theory.
