Galactic War/First Battle For Super Earth

PHASE 1

On day 1 of the Battle of Super Earth, The Great Host landed on Eagleopolis with roughly 70% of their full power. They were met with heavy resistance by both Helldiver and SEAF forces.

On day 2, the Illuminate began to assault the Megacities of Remembrance and Equality-on-Sea, splitting the Helldivers numbers between the three cities at the same time. The thinned-out Helldiver fleet allowed the Illuminate to completely raze Eagleopolis, destroying Congressional Rapids Family Fun Zone.

However, the fierce fighting on multiple fronts caused a massive blow to the Great Hosts' sheer numbers, reducing it to roughly 60 percent of its original strength.

PHASE 2

At the beginning of Phase 2, roughly 4 days after the initial landings, the Illuminate began to invade Administrative Center 02, quickly managing to raze both it and Remembrance.

Suffering heavy losses from the loss of two Megacities, Super Earth High Command activated Super Defense Protocol: Sapphire. All remaining rain forests left were converted into Eagle airstrips, decreasing the rearming time of Eagle stratagems. However, the loss of 3 Megacities comprised the global defense network, increasing orbital reload times as a result.

The Illuminate then widened their attack, invading both York Supreme and Port Mercy, further thinning Helldiver forces between the 3 Megacities remaining.

However, the DSS, previously disabled by Illuminate counterattacks on Pilen V, was nearly completely repaired. In an unprecedented move, High Command launched a second simultaneous Major Order which requested Helldivers to kill 200 million Automatons for scrap metal for repairs.

PHASE 3

On day 9 of the Great Host's invasion, Super Earth was in a severely weakened state. Ammo and reinforcements were scarce, and thousands of Helldivers were busy fighting the Automatons for the 2nd aforementioned Major Order, allowing the Illuminate to raze Port Mercy, and then York Supreme.

Soon after the destruction of the two Megacities, the DSS was finally repaired. It was able to deploy a brand new tactical action - Eagle Blockade, which provided the effects of both Eagle Storm and Orbital Blockade - across Super Earth, solving many of the logistical issues plaguing the defense forces and devastating Illuminate numbers. Largely due to the DSS’s help, Illuminate forces were pushed to the edges of Equality-on-Sea, and took additional casualties trying to establish a foothold on the city.

On the 10th day, a technician on Fort Union had developed malware capable of disabling Illuminate technology. This was threatened by a low-level invasion from the Terminids, though the Helldivers successfully defended against the invasion, allowing the malware to be fully prepared. That very same day, the malware was activated, leading to five percent of the Great Host being rendered useless. The Fort Union technician was rewarded with a field promotion to Command of the 405th Cyberwarfare Detachment.

With just 10% of their original strength, the Great Host attacked Prosperity City. The President of Super Earth was killed in the fighting with only a pistol. The president's authority was placed in the hands of the Ministry of Defense temporarily. Nevertheless, morale was at an all-time high as Super Earth successfully counterattacked the Illuminate on both remaining Megacities.

On the 11th day of the invasion, the Great Host's strength finally depleted and the Illuminate retreated from Super Earth. The new President of Super Earth was soon after elected in a landslide victory.
