Democracy Space Station
The Democracy Space Station (abbreviated as DSS) is a Super Earth Space Structure created to aid Helldivers in their operations. It is currently under Phase 1 of construction in Gaellivare's orbit.
Lore
Retrieval
The plans for the Democracy Space Station were originally stored inside an Advanced Weapons Lab on X-45 during the First Galactic War, which was abandoned due to dangerous levels of radiation engulfing the planet. Once the radiation levels had decreased during the Second Galactic War, the Helldivers were tasked with defending the planet from Automaton invasion while the lab was excavated by Super Earth forces in order to recover the plans for the station, as well as an intact cache containing the once lost MLS-4X Commandos. Upon successful retrieval of the plans, the lab it was formerly contained in was destroyed by Super Earth in order to prevent it from falling into Automaton control.
Construction
After a little over two months of research, construction of the Democracy Space Station was ready to begin. For the first stage of its construction, the Helldivers were tasked with choosing the location of the orbital construction site between either Clasa or Gaellivare. Both of these planets were considered suitable due to their large magnetospheres, but both were also under Automaton control, requiring the Helldivers to liberate their planet of choice to secure the site. The Helldivers descended on Gaellivare and ultimately chose it for the construction of the DSS.
Known Issues
- Beams in SECTOR 77C lacking structural integrity
- Risk of collapse (See attachment A10)
- E-710 drive combustion sparks unstable. Risk of self-combustion at use over 33mp/h
- Insufficient space for lavatories. Removed to make space for sentry repair units.
- Insufficient budget for pressure equalization Current pressure calculation is estimated -235 mmKG
- Projections show Bedding for living spaces not within budget reach Donations from Super Citizen Anne's Hospital for Very Sick Children to compensate Reward children with.
- [1] time held trip to DSS for heroic sacrifice for Democracy?
Phase 1
Upon liberation, a DSS Logistics Hub was setup nearby to support the mass scale of the construction; Super Earth High Command determined that zero-g materials, FTL propulsion, and gigastructure staffing needed significant advancements to make the DSS a reality. High Command also reminded Helldivers that they would be crucial in the defense of the DSS should it come under attack, and any failures to do so would delay its construction.
Description
