Lore
Construction
“The Ministry of Defense has awarded a multitrillion-Supercredit contract to AM Defense to expand production of high-quality military equipment for the Helldivers. AM Defense has a proven history of constructing top-of-the-line armaments for the SEAF line units, and their expansion to providing Helldiver weaponry marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the Defense-Marketplace Partnership.
To begin this new chapter, AM Defense will construct a massive. multi-complex Factory Hub on Achernar Secundus, creating millions of exciting labor opportunities for Super Earth citizens. However, temperature readings shows an increase of Terminid activity in the Jin XI and Sten Sectors, seemingly in response to this momentous project. This supports the theory of many Terminid experts: the alien race may instinctively sense and attack areas with heavy Democratic activity.
The Helldivers must protect the investments of our security partners. They are ordered to ensure the construction of the AM Defense Factory Hub on Achernar Secundus continues unimpeded.
The Factory Hub was constructed on Achernar Secundus on December 10th, 2184. The Helldivers where tasked with defending the facility from Terminid attacks until the construction could be completed.
However, this Major Order was cancelled with the surprise return of The Illuminate on the planet Calypso.
Illuminate Attack
During the "Defend Many Planets from The Illuminate" Major Order, the Factory Hub found itself under attack by the resurgent Illuminate, threatening production of the Fast Reconnaissance Vehicle. Fortunately, the Helldivers defended the planet in time, and development of the car resumed.
