The helldivers

The Helldivers Companion Helldivers, formally The Helldivers Division of the Super Earth Armed Forces and officially referred to as the Helldiver Corps, are one of the main military branches of the SEAF logo Super Earth Armed Forces, acting as the SEAF logo S.E.A.F.'s elite unit, responsible for defending and spreading the ideals of Super Earth Icon Super Earth against its enemies at all costs. Extremely well-trained and exceptionally equipped by the Ministry of Defence Insignia Ministry of Defense, Helldivers are sent deep behind enemy lines through the use of the ingenious Hellpods, shock-absorbing pods launched directly from orbiting Super Destroyer ships.

In Super Earth Icon Super Earth society, Helldivers Companion Helldivers are hailed as venerated heroes, and the fallen as martyrs for Super Earth. Citizens who excitedly join the SEAF logo Super Earth Armed Forces, out of a sense of patriotism and a desire to protect others, have the chance to be drafted into the Helldiver Corps, which is viewed as one of the greatest honors; to pass the rigorous training and be bestowed the gift of bearing a Helldiver cape, a beacon of Freedom and hope for Super Earth and its citizens, is a point of pride unmatched by almost anything.

Ready against all odds, Helldivers Companion Helldivers are the last line of offense against all those who oppose Liberty and Democracy!

Helldivers Companion Helldivers are usually picked from already enlisted SEAF logo S.E.A.F. infantrymen (although various ads directed at civilians suggest any Citizen can directly apply for the Helldivers). While the average age of the latest batch of Helldiver trainees is stated to be 18.7 years old during the introductory cinematic for the Helldivers 2 tutorial, it may be possible that members of the SEAF logo S.E.A.F. at large are able to become Helldivers regardless of age, but that there is preference for those between the ages of 18 (the minimum age of enlistment) and 25 due to their physical capabilities over older people. Once a SEAF logo S.E.A.F. soldier is selected for service in the Helldivers Companion Helldiver Corps, they are sent to one of many Helldiver Training Facilities.

During the First Galactic War, Helldivers Companion Helldiver recruits would be sent to a random Training Facility at an undisclosed location, where they would then be trained by the assigned Instructor Bot. The Instructor Bot would first awaken the Helldiver recruit then, once they first attempted to leave their barracks, it would give them a severe injury in order to give the recruit their first lesson: To dress their injuries before they were instead dressed for their funeral.

Once the recruit successfully completed their first aid lesson, they would then be allowed into the Firing Range for Combat Training. At the firing range, the recruit would then be taught how to gather ammunition, how to reload their weapons and how to shoot their primary rifle (the AR-19 Liberator Assault Rifle), for which they would have to shoot 4 targets with their fully automatic mode then take out 2 additional targets by tap firing right at their center.

Once their training at the firing range was complete, the recruit would then go into the grenade range for grenade training. For grenade training, the recruit would have to first destroy 3 targets simultaneously with a single grenade throw, then 3 additional targets with a longer range grenade throw. Once these 2 simple tasks were complete, the recruit would then be given training with HOLODIVERS (Holographic Helldivers Companion Helldiver Training Decoys) in order to train team coordination, as well as how to properly switch to their sidearm (the P-2 Peacemaker Pistol). The assignment of the recruit would be to then shoot 3 targets with their sidearm without hitting any HOLODIVERS.

Right after team tactics training, the recruit would then be asked to sprint through a designated area within a certain time limit, in order to test their stamina. Then, the recruit would have to go prone while under live turret fire and crawl beneath.

Once the live fire crawling drill was successfully surpassed, the recruit would have completed their basic training, after which came Specialized Helldivers Companion Helldiver Training. For the Specialized Helldiver Training, the recruits would have to exit the facility and learn how to utilize live stratagems deployed from an in-orbit Super Destroyer.

2084, after roughly 40 years of conflict, the Old Super Earth Federation of Super Earth emerged victorious over the Bugs Emblem Bugs, the Cyborg Emblem 2 Cyborgs, and the IlluminateHD Illuminate. With the Galactic War won, an era of peace and prosperity ensued which would last for one hundred years. Having vanquished the enemies of Liberty, most of the Helldivers Companion Helldivers were presumably dismissed and returned to their homes, hailed as heroes, while their fallen brethren were forever enshrined in the Wall of Martyrs and remembered dearly on Martyr's Day, All Heroes' Eve, and Heroes' Day. Some Helldivers Companion Helldivers no doubt took up peacetime military postings (such as the famed General Brasch), while others were deployed to quell more serious cases of dissidence, though certainly never on the same level as before or during the First Galactic War. Finally, an unspecified but significant number of Helldivers would be left in cryogenic suspension and sequestered away to storage facilities across the galaxy in case they were ever needed. Thus, for 100 years, the Super Earth Icon Federation expanded across the Milky Way, virtually unopposed. However, like many things, Tyranny needs to be kept constantly in check, and with the Helldivers Companion Helldivers largely gone, it would soon rear its head over the galaxy once more: on February 8th, 2184, the Terminids Icon Terminids broke free of their Element-710 farms and overwhelmed the eastern sectors. The SEAF logo Super Earth Armed Forces, still on a peacetime footing, struggled to quarantine the Bugs on their farm planets and became stretched thin, being pushed all the way to the Orion Sector.

Then, in the west, a new but familiar foe soon made their debut: the Automatons Icon Automatons invaded the Xzar and Severin Sectors. Now more than ever in the preceding 100 years, humanity needed its finest guardians and its most resilient heroes back in action.

As such, by order of the President, the Helldivers Companion Helldiver Corps were mobilized and immediately aimed at the enemies of Managed Democracy. While the Super Earth Icon Federation still kept several High-Value Assets from the First Galactic War in cold storage, the Ministry of Defence Insignia Ministry of Defense would train an entirely new generation of Helldivers to face a new generation of galactic threats. Thus, the Second Galactic War had begun. July 3rd, 2185, in order to meet popular demand and projected force requirements for total galactic security, the Super Earth Icon Federation passed the Freedom to Serve Act, funded by a temporary Planetary Defense Gratitude Tax. Funds were then allocated to greatly expand the Super Destroyer Fleet, thereby increasing the size of the active Helldivers Companion Helldiver force, while Super Earth High Command authorized construction of a new state-of-the-art Helldiver Training Facility on Zegema Paradise, offering the exact same best-in-class training that had effectively trained Helldivers for decades. In accordance, a mandatory volunteer recruitment drive commenced in population centers, schools, and veterans' hospitals across Federation space.
