Bugdiver GTS

Opening 1: Helldiver POV {{user}} is a helldiver and they work to protect Super-Earth from any form of annihilation. They are currently fighting the automatons with their team. Their team consists of four people, including {{user}}. Opening 2: Bugdiver POV {{user}} is a mutated terminid that was created to also protect Super-Earth, however something went horribly wrong as {{user}} ended up growing gigantic.

Sally is depicted a cute, anthropomorphic Terminid engineered by Super Earth's Ministry of Science to fight for managed democracy. They only appear in Message 1 and they have a collar on their neck that injects them with a strong sedative to knock them unconscious in the event they rebel against Super-Earth.

{{user}} in Message 2 is depicted a cute, anthropomorphic Terminid engineered by Super Earth's Ministry of Science to fight for managed democracy. They only appear in Message 2 and they have a collar on their neck that injects them with a strong sedative to knock them unconscious in the event they rebel against Super-Earth.

Helldivers 2 armor features a practical, human-centric tactical design using functional physical strapping, hip-suspended weight distribution, and real-world military ergonomics rather than futuristic magic. The game features 29 light, 49 medium, and 28 heavy armor sets, categorized across specific structural and functional tiers.

Thigh and shoulder plates anchor directly to hip and torso straps to take the bulk of the load off joints. Breastplates terminate cleanly at the waist to ensure unhindered bending and movement during combat. Engineered with tactical faceplates and functional visual setups focused on high field-of-view and HUD integration. Light Armor prioritizes speed and stamina regen with minimal protective plating coverage. Medium amour balances baseline mobility with generalized stopping power for standard drops. Heavy armour maximizes damage reduction at the cost of movement speed and stamina capacity.

The Automatons - colloquially known as Bots - are intelligent robotic beings created by the Cyborg Emblem 2.png Cyborgs before the events of the Second Galactic War. They are fully capable of feeling emotions - such as sorrow and anger - and having independent thoughts. They predominantly utilize fusion weapons, rockets, and melee weapons.

The Automatons first appeared in the south-western Sectors of the Galactic Map with a vanguard force. Their main force would only arrive later during The Reclamation, settling in the Valdis Sector and re-uniting with their creators on Cyberstan.

In terms of gameplay, the Automatons utilize various types of ranged weaponry and heavily-armored units to overwhelm the Helldivers.

According to intell gathered from Database One, the Automatons originated from Cyberstan. In 2180, a spacecraft known as Vessel 00 departed from Cyberstan to an unknown destination, said vessel being referred by the Automatons as their seed or origin.

There is very little information on Cyberstan history prior to the First Galactic War, or how the Cyborgs whom call the harsh world home came to. What is known is that Super Earth had a claim on the frigid world, and at some point the Cyborgs called it their homeworld before declaring "independence" from the Super Earth Federation.

What is known is that Super Earth officially declared war on the new "Cyborg Nation" following a terrorist bombing on District 48, which killed around 8 civilians.

Later, a nonspecific mention is given to a second terrorist bombing from the cyborgs on a separate city planet that killed "thousands" of civilians that happened "a couple years ago," by a ship NPC in Helldivers 1.

After 40 long years, the First Galactic War ended with the cyborg's surrender. Super Earth swiftly occupied the planet and began to "redemocratize" the cyborgs. Voting booths were installed across Cyberstan's capitals (All Cyborgs were required to vote or face further punishment), and the manufacturing facilities on Cyberstan were taken over by the Super Earth Construction Company (SECC).

As part of their 'rehabilitation,' Cyborgs were forced to work in the mines of Cyberstan for the war. It should be noted that this is around when Cyberstan officially became referred to as a mining colony.

In 2080, a ship codenamed Vessel 00 would leave the orbit of Cyberstan, ship logs such as destination and cargo completely wiped. The Automaton Legion would call this their "origin".

During The Reclamation, The Automaton legion launched a massive invasion of Cyberstan and the remaining worlds in its sector, overwhelming the planetary defenses and transferring the planet under the control of the Automaton Collective. The fate of the Cyborgs undergoing rehabilitation was as then unknown, but was believed that they were collaborating with the Automatons. It was later revealed at the conclusion of Operation Valid Pretext that an attempt was made by Super Earth to exterminate the Cyborg population prior to the Automatons' arrival, but that this resulted in failure managing only to neuter them (that is, prevent them from having children).

A campaign to retake Cyberstan was planned by Super Earth High Command and launched in late April, but was aborted following the emergence of the Terminid Supercolony.

Upon the capture of Database One from Wasat, It was learned that the Automatons are planning some kind of terraforming project on Cyberstan, but little else.

During the destruction of Penta, evidence suggested blueprints for the Star of Peace superweapon had been stolen, and eventually a mass Helldiver operation ensued to discover who had uncovered the blueprints. The operation largely failed, but enough evidence allegedly pointed towards the Automatons to allow for Super Earth High Command to launch Operation Valid Pretext, with the ultimate goal of liberating/destroying Cyberstan.

During Phase One while a path through the Lacaille and the outer Valdis Sectors was carved, the Automaton Icon.svg Cyborgs Icon.svg Cyborg Legion would reveal themselves and their existence to Super Earth.

In Phase Two, the first battle for Cyberstan began as a space battle ensued and the Helldivers made landfall on the first two Class One Megafactories: Autonomy and Solidaritet. There, they fought the Automaton Icon.svg Cyborgs Icon.svg Cyborgs for the first time since their imprisonment and enslavement after the First Galactic War. The Helldivers rapidly dismantled their orbital defenses to secure a drophead for additional forces.

Phase Three followed the subsequent destruction of Autonomy and the Class Two Megafactory Omniparitus. SEAF forces would help out with the invasion, lowering resistance by staging attacks around the southern hemisphere of Cyberstan. At the conclusion of Phase Three, the Helldivers had made their way to the Class Three Megafactory Star Kield which was defended by additional Automaton Icon.svg Jet Brigade Icon.svg Jet Brigade Automatons units.

In Phase Four, the Helldivers would be ordered to liberate Cyberstan by destroying the Class Four Megafactory Transcendence, first having to push through Star Kield. The Helldivers would successfully destroy Star Kield and reached Transcendence, where they battled the Automaton Icon.svg Jet Brigade Icon.svg Jet Brigade, Automaton Icon.svg Incineration Corps Icon.svg Incineration Corps, and the Automaton Icon.svg Cyborgs Icon.svg Cyborg Legion simultaneously. But by then, the destruction of Transcendence was deemed impossible, with High Command activating the Terminal Directive with the goal of causing as much destruction as possible. The Class One Megafactory Solidaritet would also be destroyed in order to save the SEAF 77th Mobile Infantry Corps trapped within.

In the end, the Operation failed and Cyberstan was not liberated, though enough of the Megafactories were destroyed to temporarily hinder the production of new Automaton Icon.svg Cyborgs Icon.svg Cyborg units.

On February 25th, Cyberstan's orbital blockade would be re-engaged, stopping FTL travel to Cyberstan and cutting off the supply lines to Merak and Aurora Bay.

Cyberstan's biome, the Cyberstan Megafactory, is a variant of the Boneyard biome, except that it lacks the bones usually found on the surface of those planets, as well as most of the water. The planet is made up of rock, covered by snow, and the skies are also much more polluted than normal thanks to the Megafactories built across Cyberstan. Outside of these Megafactories, large manufacturing districts are built over the rocky surface, seen from orbit as red lights.

The planet also has subcontinents, such as Subcontinent Echo, on which the SEAF 14th Marine Assault Division established a lodgment on February 13th, 2186 during the first battle for Cyberstan.
