MAJOR ORDER WON
After innumerable scientific expeditions, the Xenoentomology Center has more than enough Terminid specimens to progress development on Gloom-resistant technology.
Much work remains, but thanks to the Helldivers, the first expedition into the Gloom—and subsequent acquisition of its potentially vast E-710 reserves—may soon be within reach. Consult the Galactic Map on your Super Destroyer for more information.
NEW MAJOR ORDER
Intel from the Staging Grounds for the Automaton Jet Brigade on Choohe has finally been deciphered, and the source of the violent unit identified. The Factories that produced the robotic marauders is located on CHORT BAY.
The Helldivers are ordered to strike deep into Automaton territory with the objective of liberating CHORT BAY and destroying the Jet Brigade Factories there.
INTEL REPORT
Long-range imagery of CHORT BAY has confirmed the presence of Jet Brigade factories on its surface. However, no jetpack-augmented units have been spotted on the planet. It is possible they have not yet managed to rebuild their force in any significant capacity.
