Major Order Status: Day 20

Welcome back, viewers! Michael Adams here with a new major order handed down from High Command.

While the last message from Super Earth sent to the Super Destroyers yesterday implied that High Command intended to immediately pivot to the Automaton front, it now appears they need more time to thoroughly plan the next offensive against the bots. In the meantime, Super Earth's armed forces are intent on retaking four planets from the Terminids. According to the order, the Federation must regain control of Erata Prime, Acamar IV, Turing, and Phact Bay within four days. Once these planets are taken, the Terminids will once again be bottlenecked through the Umlaut sector.

Speaking of termicide, Super Earth seems set on reinventing it, putting the Ministry of Science on the path towards producing a new, more lethal formula. This is clearly a move by the bureaucrats and military leaders who know nothing of biology. No matter how effective termicide becomes, there will be no way for it to kill 100% of Terminids without being hazardous to many other lifeforms as well, especially humans! This is another supercolony of mutations waiting to happen, as the few bugs that remain will breed again and again until they become the majority!

Let's hope the Federation doesn't end up destroying another planet. In the meantime, give 'em Hell, Divers!

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.

Galactic War Status: Day 40

Hello, viewers. Today's another short one for you.

The gambit to defend Pöpli IX by cutting off its supply routes from Mort was a success, once again securing all planets in the sector. Unfortunately, the bots are now making much use of Vandelon IV as a staging ground, having launched yet another attack already.

This time, the robots are threatening Mantes, a planet that had gained a reputation back when the Helldivers were facing off with the original Automaton Vanguard fleet. Being one of the primary battlegrounds of that era of the conflict, it seemed to change hands almost every day. Looking to avoid repeating that mistake, the Helldivers have descended with great fury upon the initial invasion force. Their efforts have been wildly successful so far, and the planet is already nearly cleansed of the robot's influence. At this rate, the major order is in the bag.

Back with the Terminids; things are only getting worse. As the Helldivers leave their advance unchecked, they have now nearly completely infested the Jin Xi sector, with Phact Bay the most recent planet to fall under their shadow. Although efforts are underway to protect the planet, it's looking rather grim. In the meantime, many Helldivers continue to hammer the jungled surface of Gacrux in hopes of retaking it but have only managed to fight to a standstill. Let's hope things pick up soon.

That's all we have prepared for now; we'll see you next time.

Give 'em Hell, Divers!

Galactic War Status: Day 23

Greetings, viewers. We're back with a recap of Day 23 of the Galactic War. There's not too much, so let's get through it!

Despite the rallying cries of many heroic Helldivers and the urging of High Command, the majority still refused to protect Aesir Pass. As we mourn the loss of the last training facility on the bot front, we can only hope that Super Earth will establish more well-protected replacements in the future. In the meantime, the war has just gotten harder on all fronts. At this cost, however, the Helldivers were able to easily finish securing Acamar IV from the Automatons before focusing their full force on Phact Bay. 

Although by now we've rolled over into day 24, the Helldivers have just recently completely cleared Phact Bay of Terminid influence! With all four planets secure, the fight against the bugs is once again restricted to just two sectors, and the major order is officially a success. How Super Earth will proceed is yet to be seen.

Next up will be Day 24's personal orders. That's all for now.

Give 'em Hell, Divers!
