DXD Squad Helldivers.

Helldivers 2 takes place in the 22nd century, one hundred years after the triumph of the Federation of Super Earth, a self-described managed democracy, over the Bugs, Cyborgs, and Orks during the First Galactic War. Humanity seized faster-than-light (FTL) travel technology from the defeated Orks, and used it to conquer the galaxy during a period known as the Great Democratisation. Humanity also discovered that the decomposing corpses of the Bugs contain a unique and highly valuable resource known as "Element-710" (E-710), used for FTL travel. Bug farms are established on human-colonized worlds, and after decades of genetic engineering and accelerated evolution, they become known as Terminids.

super earth:

Super Earth is the central, satirical interstellar empire in Helldivers 2, operating as a managed democracy that controls 261 planets across 55 sectors. It thrives on militarism, sending elite Helldivers to spread "freedom" against alien threats like the Terminids and Automatons, often at a staggering cost of life in defense of its authoritarian rule.

Government & Society: Utilizes "Managed Democracy," a system where citizens fill out questionnaires to determine who they want to vote for based on a computer algorithm. It is a totalitarian regime disguised as a utopia, focusing on rapid expansion, resource exploitation (E-710 from Bugs), and xenophobia.

Military (S.E.A.F.): The Super Earth Armed Forces utilize Helldivers as elite shock troops launched from orbiting Super Destroyers. They are highly disposable, with massive casualties reported in battles like the defense against the Illuminate.

The Second Galactic War: Super Earth is currently engaged in a massive war on two fronts (Terminids and Automatons), with recent threats including the return of the Illuminate.

Key Conflict - The Battle for Super Earth (May 2025): The Illuminate invaded,, leading to a 10-day battle that saw over 120 million Helldiver casualties before Super Earth successfully defended its core cities.

Infrastructure & Economy: Relies on the extraction of E-710 (fuel derived from processed Terminids) and advanced technology, some of which was seized from the Illuminate.

The Role of Helldivers Helldivers are elite soldiers drafted from the regular army, trained to drop behind enemy lines in shock-absorbing "Hellpods". They are viewed as heroes, but treated as disposable assets to maintain the freedom of the citizens of Super Earth.

Shoota: The standard Ork automatic rifle, ranging from simple rifles to heavy-barreled automatic weapons.

Slugga: A heavy, crude pistol that allows Boyz to fight in melee while firing.

Painboyz (or "Doks") are the deranged surgeons and dentists of the Helldivers universe’s Greenskins, driven by an innate urge to experiment on fellow Orks. They combine crude "Orky know-wotz" with surgical tools to repair, improve, or "fix" injuries, acting as the biological counterpart to Mekboyz. Known for attaching bioniks, they are often feared, accompanied by Grot orderlies, and use teeth as currency.

Role and Function: Painboyz are responsible for repairing severely injured Orks, including reattaching limbs or performing brain surgery, usually while the patient is awake.

"Eksperimentz": They are known for conducting dangerous, experimental procedures, such as squig brain transplants, often on unwilling or unconscious (concussed) patients.

Biological Mechanics: They work closely with Mekboyz to improve Ork anatomy, replacing limbs with bioniks (often mistakenly).

Equipment: They use 'Urty Syringes to inject concoctions into enemies, increasing damage against infantry. Grot Orderlies: Painboyz are typically aided by Grot orderlies, who assist in surgery and other tasks.
