One month ago today, Automaton and Terminid onslaughts forced the firm hand of Super Earth into a righteous fist, and the 2nd Galactic War began. In that time, the war — which Super Earth Command first would be quickly won — has turned into a slow tide of planets changing hands. In the last week, the Automatons have launched a desperate attack to prevent the deployment of important Super Earth tactical assets: exosuits. At the same time, Terminids have pushed back and are now moving back into Super Earth space.
Galactic War Reports 3/2 – 3/8
Seen the Galactic War Reports below for a daily summary of the progress of the war between March 2nd and March 8th:
Campaign Summary
Helldivers had a successful week in the war front, defending Democracy from bugs and bots alike. Notably, Helldivers succeeded at keeping Angel’s Venture and Heeth under Super Earth control, holding a major strategic objective despite a hidden army of Terminids just beneath the surface.
Super Earth would like to remind Helldivers that Angel’s Venture is no longer a major strategic objective, and while it should be held, it will not negatively impact our war footing whatsoever should we lose it. Only the good citizens on it, which is reason enough to fight.
Super Earth also announced that production was underway on Tien Kwan of EXO-45 PATRIOT EXOSUITS, powerful mechanized mobile platforms capable of delivering righteous payloads onto the enemies of liberty, while protecting its valiant warriors. However, shortly after this announcement, a traitor must have leaked this production schedule, because the Automatons attacked Tien Kwan.
However, these Automatons stood no chance against the might of the Helldivers and, earlier today, Tien Kwan was liberated, opening up production of the EXO-45 PATRIOT EXOSUIT, improving Helldiver combat efficacy by 84% (approximate numbers from Super Earth sources).
Automatons
Automatons have stagnated in the last week, and little progress has occurred on the western front, aside from a foolish attack levied against Tien Kwan. While this attack temporarily interrupted the creation of an array of mechanized exosuits, our Helldivers quickly cleared the planet, allowing for the mass production of Patriot Exosuits.
Super Earth now believes this attack to be one of desperation, and think that it may demonstrate the Automaton forces are being weakened. Keep pressing, divers!
Terminids
The Terminid front has been somewhat more dire. Previously fought to a standstill, the underhanded bugs proved their ability to rapidly evolve this week. While their inferior forms are still crushed under the boot heel of liberty, their sheer numbers caught Super Earth forces by surprise as they pushed the front back to the Umlaut and Orion Sectors.
Much of this push seems to have been fueled by an accelerated growth pattern, which has made the insectoid menace harder to deal with, leading to operational failures even in missions that would’ve been surefire a week ago. Super Earth reminds all Helldivers to keep appraised of the situation.
Update Change Logs
The following updates were released during this week:
Though our enemies are weak and their cause unjust, the wily resilience of barbarism and cruelty has proven this week that no citizen of Super Earth is safe until the enemies of it are purged from the galaxy. Be it in the factories of Tien Kwan, the battlefields of Errata Prime, or the homesteads of Super Earth, Helldivers will claim victory.
