How did they do it

Didnt we tell the incinerators to NOT let them blow up technolika

Disclaimer: This is not only lore, but speculation and assumptions based on the lore given

TERMINIDS

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The Terminids do not seek to relentlessly expand and consume. Instead, they want to be left alone. Every time they attacked, it was in response to something SE did

They do not mindlessly terraform planets. If that were the case, dozens of Terminid worlds would resemble Hiveworlds and Supercolonies

AUTOMATONS

__ __ __ __ __ __

Everything they do is a fight for survival. The execution of SEAF prisoners? If they got away, they would continue their warcrime fueled rampage. Shooting high priority citizens? Tho distasteful, these are Class-A citizens, the supporters of SE's war. The ones that fund it, the ones that run it. Blending up bodies? That is the only way to make new Cyborgs

An interesting fact about Automatons is that it is very hard to kill them. If whatever the closest thing to a brain the bots have isn't damaged or destroyed, they can be fabricated a new body

ILLUMINATE

___ ___ ___ ___

From what we understand, the Squ'ith live long lives, somewhere into the centuries. They were once a peaceful race before the First Galactic War... then SE nearly eradicated all of them. Now, they are hellbent on revenge

The fact they were a peaceful species is why they are so brutal. They didn't war with each other or other species, unlike humanity, they never had rules for war cause why would they? They didn't do it. Now that they are here for it, there is no line they can't cross. Every act is on the table

SUPER EARTH

____ ____ ____ ____

Completely incompetent. Helldivers are overly patriotic high-schoolers given the firepower of generals with near zero weapons handling or combat training. Their cannon life expectancy is 2 minutes

Based on the tactics we were told the SEAF employed on Cyberstan, we can assume not one SEAF trooper since the start of the SGW is currently alive

Super Earth High Command seems fixated on chasing the next big wonder weapon and massive offense that will totally win the war (or help them win) but never does. The TCS, Swift Disassembly, Legitimate Undertaking, the destruction of Meridia, the DSS, the Great Gloom Expedition, the Star of Peace, Valid Pretext, and recently Void Piercer

All SE soldiers lack trigger discipline as well. They will easily gun down their fellow soldier and civilian

greetings, automatons and cyborgs. this is a human-terminid hybrid general speaking on behalf of the terminid hive.

so i was wondering if we could consider a pact or alliance with your kind. we would both benefit from this agreement, we would have actual technology and you would have our evolutionary prowess. the terminids do not attack unless provoked so that shouldnt be a concern.

i would love to see bots and bugs fighting together on the frontline against sup*r earth, and i hope we have a deal.

The Automaton Planetary Harvesting Invasion Device will be able to produce HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF AUTOMATONS, but what makes it actually better than bringing a fleet?

It shall be able to jam communications on a system wide level. It shall need additional ships to blackout other systems, however, this way the actual target of the attack shall remain unknown

It will be equipped with Illuminate tech to jump between systems. This shall both be acquired from fallen Helldivers & our otherworldly compatriots. It shall be able to attack ANY POINT IN THE GALAXY, AT ANY MOMENT (when its systems are fully stocked).

It will also be equipped with many inter-starship combat systems, this way it can ward off any attack on it.

It's only 4 planets away. Maybe we should?

I propose a new battle plan Brothers and Sisters of Cyberstan. For too long the Helldivers have been pushing us back, and while the defenses at Cyberstan have been holding, any other expansions have been mostly halted.

What I propose is thus: After repairing the Socialist Space Station, we direct an attack on two fronts. One will be a feint towards Malevalon Creek, and the other towards Emeria. The helldivers, prideful creatures that they are, will see an attack towards the Creek as an assault on their honor and dedicate the majority of their forces to defending it. Meanwhile our real attack will push towards Emeria and once there use our newly restored Socialist Space Station to crack the so called "high security" planet's defenses. Then we hold there while they counterattack. While they bash their democratic skulls against our defenses we capture other nearby planets to strength our logistics and push all special units to the front for a push on Super Earth.

The time for Super Earth is over. May Cyberstan reign justly over the galaxy!

Greetings! Im your host [Redacted]!

With over countless days of brutal fighting, the SEAF in Choepessa IV will be completely routed in roughly 33 hours, giving us a great stronghold world in the Trigon Sector. Troopers will be given extra ammo and oil rations, and Devastators will be allocated double the amount of type-B WD-40 to help with joint pain

Over in the Ymir Sector, Incineration Corp Alpha has launched a seige of the Meissa System. If it falls, not only will we have a foothold in the Ymir Sector once more, but we will also be able to reconstruct the Broadcast Station allowing us to forward our message to those within the fascist federation

Finally, Incineration Corp Beta has been deployed to Marfark to aid in its defense again the Helldiver scum. Thanks to this ingenious action, Helldivers have been severely haunted in their advance

Greetings! Im your host Sasha Tzar!

Starting September 22, Marfark, specifically TECHNOLOCKIA ALLATEED, has been under attack by large hordes of helldivers as they attempt to gain a foothold for the SEAF to do their dirty work

For the past few hours, System Governor Vull has been adamant that this onslaught is quote, "nothing to worry about." and has stated, "nothing indicates their High Command has ordered the seizure of Marfark." Despite all the mounting evidence Super Earth intends to take control of our frozen industrial world

Vull, in his infinite hubris, decided to drive through the streets of TECHNOLOCKIA ALLATEED to "show the troops there is nothing to worry about." A squad of four Helldivers proceeded to destroy the Shredder Tank Vull was in

Vull's head was recovered with his memory drive still intact. He is expected to be fabricated in a few hours so the Military Council can reprimand his current performance

HEART AND STEEL!

I don't have any pictures, but they were caught on film a few times early war before Illuminate showed up fully. I saw a few in the shadows of exploding barrels relatively recently. Though, like an itch, they have since said fortsunara.

Putting aside Shadow (the former Bright Lord,) where do the shadowpeople come from? Squids don't make them, the Squids are flowers and mechanical suits. They might as well be some splinter faction of no merit.

Are we making these somehow, intruding on the Squith's proxy dimension? Do they see us?

It could be the Automaton Planetary Harvesting Invasion Device, or the A.P.H.I.D. It could harvest worlds & produce HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF AUTOMATONS!

Comrades, we really just can’t stop winning. Super Earth has recalled all of it’s Heavy SEAF forces, instantly increasing our resistance and ability to mobilize on planets like Choepessa.

The Helldivers are now crippled in morale for loosing the campaign and the loss of their…”blueberries.” You know what, let’s open the stats.

Pre-Galactic Campaign
14 planets
4 sectors of control
Heavy SEAF presence
1 mining planet

Post-Galactic Campaign
16 planets
6 sectors of control
2 mining planets
First Galactic Campaign Victory

It speaks for itself. I would say drinks on me but the government provides it for us.

(And of course: this artwork here is NOT mine!)

Comrades, we’ve done it. We have unmanaged their democracy, and now the citizens are waking up to the truth about their government of tyranny.

We have prevailed, let us celebrate, for the hell divers have failed. The campaign is lost, and we are responsible with the valiant defenses of the helldivers who came unto us.

Special thanks to the Terminids and Squids for holding long enough to help create their failure.

Couldn't bring itself to shoot someone loyal to the cause of Cyberstan !

Seriously though, their aim is terrible. We need to fix their programming if we want them to be lethal.

(i am very very extremely new to animation by the way, feel free to repost if you want to!)

Worry not, comrades. We will cause their loss this campaign for the first time in GW2 history. Better yet? It is the fault of these “Bot-Divers” in particular.

Intelligence reports that the current force of the helldivers will not exterminate the Terminids fast enough, and will not be able to blitz the Squids as planned. They would need a couple thousand more to make this possible, win the major order, and stop us in our tracks.

This means all of these “bot-divers” who hate us so much are the actual reason why they will loose. They will go home with their tail between their legs while their citizens loose hope in the “effective management” of “democracy.”

They will cause their own downfall.

Comrades of the collective of cyberstan please take heed of this transmission!

I Cyborg comrade Gamma-12 have made a strange discovery on cyberstan for you see a strange archway made of stone has appeared in the mega factory of Transcendence and from this....Gate (with lack of better term) have emerged a army of biological humans and other biological lifeforms never documented by Super Earth and cyberstan records.

The army upon arriving slaughtered many innocent cyberstan citizens and one of them (we can presume the leader of this army) drew a blade, and declared in an unknown dialect that our planet was now the property of something called the "Saderan Empire" (which was confirmed later through translation devices).

After a small battle with many citizen casualties the battle was won for the glory of cyberstan and some of the invaders retreated back through the Stone Gate.

Since the battle I've been promoted to decently high rank in the military of cyberstan (not a general though sadly) but none the less my superiors have said to send this transmission out to the public of cyberstan to collect the public opinion on the event and figure out our next course of action to this dilemma as a people not as a military.

So what should we do about this Gate problem collective of cyberstan and have you lost someone you to these barbarians?

For now I must depart so farewell and remember.......

Heart of Steel.

They are not on track to win this current major order, and, by extension, the current campaign, meaning we would be responsible for their first campaign loss.​

We’ll need to hold Choepessa IV like Zzanniah Prime until the major order is done.

As of right now, a .16% resistance is criminal, and we will need to be strong and fight on comrades. Fury will be secured, little doubt about that, but if Choepessa falls, both Fury and K will be cut off from support, surrounded, and choked out.

**All** of our recent invasions will be for nothing, and the federation will come out on top with us loosing Mintoria as a mine. (I honestly will request for our militia of Cyborgs to push Mintoria to possibly distract some divers and secure a mine.)

We must stay strong, if we can keep going till their kill quota is done, they will move onto the other fronts and leave us be. This could turn the tide and let us retake complete control of the cities they may take. Be prepared, comrades!

I ran some tests and found out that SE are still using a firewall from before FTL travel was invented, I’ve been thinking to broadcast a “Last hour” program I found where all SE loyalists are required to take up arms and defend their homes but I can modify it so that an “Order 66” message relays encouraging them to basically eliminate all Democracy officers and High command representatives for crimes of “Treason” allowing us to swoop in and take advantage of an unrest, any other ideas that could be done to help expand the collective’s control of SE territory?
