STRATEGIC ALERT
The Jet Brigade ceaseless aggression has trapped them! With the recent liberation of Gaellivare, the Jet Brigade find themselves caught on Imber without an adjacent escape route. Their reinforcements are finally wearing thin, this is an opportune time to strike.
The Autocannon support weapon has been granted to all Helldivers on Imber. End them now, and find their staging ground later.
JET BRIGADE ROUTED
The Helldivers have delivered Justice to the Automaton Jet Brigade for their atrocities against Liberty. The Automaton unit's avaricious pursuit of the DSS led to their entrapment on Imber, where they were finally destroyed.
But the totalitarianism is a resilient virus. The Automatons still possess the means to rebuild a new Jet Brigade: a production facility somewhere deep in their territory. We will not be truly free until it is found and destroyed.
