Galactic War Status: Day 43
Welcome to the end of Day 43, viewers! As expected, Nivel 43 fell to Terminid infestation, but it looks like Automaton forces have been considerably depleted, meaning the major order has been a verifiable success, which gives the SEAF a major opportunity to push back into enemy territory on both fronts. In the meantime, the Federation is putting more effort into finally dismantling older Automaton factories left behind by the defeated Vanguard fleet, just in case the Reclamation forces do ever reach this territory in the future.
Already, new major orders have been dispatched. The Helldivers are to reclaim and protect five planets from Terminid clutches: Bore Rock and Acamar IV, which are already under Super Earth control, along with Erson Sands, Pandion-XXIV, and Phact Bay, which are all crawling with bugs. The most difficult to liberate will be Erson Sands, as warp routes necessitate retaking Esker first in order to reach it.
In short succession, the bugs have made attempts on Bore Rock, Acamar IV, and Fori Prime. While the planets associated with the major order have been swiftly cleansed of their filth, Fori Prime is close to completely overrun, indicating a loss.
Super Earth intimidates its researchers into 'agreeing' that the recent operations utilizing nuclear weapons to destroy Terminid hatcheries have nothing to do with this recent surge in Terminid movement, especially in regions they previously avoided, but we all know the truth.
While a majority of Helldivers are fighting for Phact Bay, a small contingent of troopers have noticed that the Automatons on Vandalon IV, the staging point for many of the bots' invasions over the past few days, have been significantly strained by the losses. This makes it the perfect time to attack the planet, cutting off one of the Automaton's most powerful warp routes currently available. An even smaller number of Helldivers have also noticed the unusually low reproduction rate of Terminids on Nivel 43—so low in fact that they cannot claw back any land the Helldivers take from them. If nothing changes, both planets will slowly yet surely shift back to Super Earth control.
That's all for today! We'll see you next time, viewers.
