Major Orders

Example of a major order

Major Orders (abbreviated as MOs) are game-wide overlapping objectives, which serve as the main goal(s) in Helldivers 2. Due to the large scale of these orders, a majority of the Helldivers community must participate in it to progress and complete them. As time progresses, they contribute to the events of the Second Galactic War.

Due to the game's dynamic nature, Major Orders can have various consequences for the Galactic War, depending on whether they are completed or failed within the given timeframe.

When completing Major Orders, players are typically rewarded with requisition slips or medals, however depending on the MO, they can also unlock new equipment and Stratagems.

February 2024

Operation Valiant Enclosure: Phase I
Faction	Terminids
Reward	10000 Requisition
Briefing	Freedom is under attack. The Terminid outbreak threatens to spread out of control, and probability of child eviscerations is at an all-time high. In response, our scientists have developed the Terminid Control System: a planet-wide bug extermination network. The TCS will be constructed on an unbroken line of Barrier Planets, quarantining the bugs behind them. The worlds leading to the Barrier Planets are crawling with Terminids. This Infestation must be cleansed.
Overview	The bugs are out of control. They must be pushed back to the Barrier Planets, where the Terminid Control System will be built. Liberate all planets between Super Earth and the Barrier Planets: Heeth and Angel's Venture.
Outcome	SUCCESS.
Automaton Attack
Faction	Automatons
Reward	12500 Requisition
Briefing	The Automatons have launched cowardly surprise attacks on multiple highly-populated Super Earth planets. The Super Earth Armed Forces in the region have been overrun. Million of citizens are in grave danger of death, or disenfranchisement. This grievous attack on Freedom will not go unanswered. The homes of our citizens must be defended.
Overview	The Automatons have launched a cowardly surprise attack against our innocent civilian populations. Their homes must be defended. Win at least 8 Defend Campaigns against the Automatons.
Outcome	FAILURE.
Defense of Draupnir and Mantes
Faction	Automatons
Reward	12500 Requisition
Briefing	Intercepted messages indicate bot plans for a significant push. Increased resistance on Automaton planets is anticipated.
Overview	Defend Draupnir and Mantes
Outcome	FAILURE. Despite the valorous efforts of the Helldivers, Automaton marauders have invaded Super Earth territory. Patriotic citizens mourn as their sufficiently-sized homes burn to the ground. Super Earth citizens demand justice, and they will receive it. But for now, the Terminid Control System is ready for activation.
Operation Valiant Enclosure: Phase II
Faction	Terminids
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Terminid spores have engulfed Heeth and Angel's Venture, spawning hordes of Terminids that overwhelmed our colonial militias. Clearly, the bug hive instinct oriented their mindless expansion towards dishonoring the memory of those who fought to free these planets. Countless Helldivers paid for these lands with their lives. We cannot lose them now.
Overview	The Terminids are swarming Super Earth planets. Designated planets must be under Super Earth Control when order expires: Heeth, Angel's Venture
Outcome	SUCCESS.

Galactic Frontier March 2024

March 2024

Liberation of Veld
Faction	Terminids
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Contain the Terminid outbreak, before the bugs are able to spread further.
Overview	Liberate Veld
Events	Free Eagle Napalm Strike stratagem for a limited time.
Outcome	SUCCESS. Well done, Helldivers. SEAF Containment Teams will take over cleanup and inoculation operations from here. Colonists have been advised that there is absolutely zero threat of further Terminid violence, and to settle their families with total peace of mind. Additionally, the pilots allocated to spore clearance on Veld have now been redirected to Helldiver support operations.
Liberation of Tien Kwan
Faction	Automatons
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	Tien Kwan is home to the sole arsenal of new Exosuit technology. It is only a matter of time before the Automatons discover the arsenal and steal it for themselves. Liberate Tien Kwan, before it is too late.
Overview	Secure the new line of combat Exosuits by liberating the planet where the production facilities are located. Liberate Tien Kwan
Outcome	SUCCESS. Well done, Helldivers. Tien Kwan has been returned to the care of Managed Democracy. The Morgunson Arsenal, and its stockpile of freshly-produced Exosuits, were recovered intact. The EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit is now available for requisition.
Notes	Introduced new stratagem upon success: EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit.
Operation Valiant Enclosure: Phase III
Faction	Terminids
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	Upon each Barrier Planet now stands a network of massive, Termicide-dispensing towers: the Terminid Control System. Once activated, the TCS will exterminate every Terminid on that planet, and inoculate it against all future infestations. However, surges in Terminid activity have forced the SEAF Engineers to evacuate. Now, only Helldivers can ensure the safety of our citizens. The Terminid Control System must be activated—at any cost.
Overview	Termicide-dispensing towers have been built all over every Barrier Planet. They need only to be activated to quarantine the bugs for good. Activate the Terminid Control System on the Barrier Planets: Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, Turing
Outcome	SUCCESS. The Terminid Control System is fully activated. The Termicide is working as intended, culling millions of Terminids on the Barrier Planets. Our citizens may finally rest easy, knowing their children are forever safe from being eaten alive by fascist insects.
Notes	Introduced event-exclusive mission type: Activate Terminid Control System. New enemy type introduced after completion: Shrieker.
Liberation of Zagon Prime and Fori Prime
Faction	Terminids
Reward	35 Medals
Briefing	In support of civilian population expansion and new energy demands for FTL travel, the Helldivers are ordered to cull the Terminid swarm within the Quarantine Zone through liberation of several planets.
Overview	With the TCS securing our citizens' lives, now we can secure their economic future, by culling the Terminid population and harvesting the E-710 they provide. Liberate Zagon Prime and Fori Prime.
Outcome	FAILURE. Though many Terminids have been mercifully culled, the Helldivers were unable to penetrate as far inside the Quarantine Zone as ordered. The expansion of our citizens to new planets will be reduced in line with the reduction of expected Element 710 to be produced. Further procreation applications will be denied until further notice.
Protection of Biomass Collection Teams
Faction	Terminids
Reward	35 Medals
Briefing	Civilian Biomass Collection Teams (BCTs) are gathering and processing inert Terminids. The Helldivers must maintain our control of the planets until these operations are complete.
Overview	Designated planets must be under Super Earth control when order expires. Fori Prime, Estanu, Crimsica, Hellmire
Events	Terminid Surge - Ministry of Science reports an unanticipated spike in Terminid spore counts. Expect a severe increase in resistance on Terminid planets. Cybersecurity Update - A recent systems security breach has resulted in Galactic War tables displaying inaccurate information. The breach has been addressed, and all systems have been returned to normal operation. Any discrepancies are to be considered the result of dissident misinformation. Rest assured that the parties responsible have been identified, arrested, tried, and executed.
Outcome	SUCCESS. The last of the crude solid E-710 has been collected, processed, and shipped off-planet, providing a healthy boost to our colony settlement efforts. The planets can now be left behind to allow the Terminids to repopulate—under careful supervision.
Operation Swift Disassembly, Phase I: Disrupt Communications
Faction	Automatons
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	Interrogators have extracted alarming information from captured bots, through use of Unpleasant Sensory Experience Simulations. The Automatons are planning something called "The Reclamation," which appears to be a massive invasion of unprecedented scale. Further details are scarce. In response, High Command has authorized OPERATION SWIFT DISASSEMBLY. The objective: eradicate the Automatons entirely. It will consist of several phases, each critical to overall success. PHASE I: Disrupt Communications. We have identified a long-range communications array deep in Automaton space. Its capture may reveal critical intelligence about the enemy's plans.
Overview	We have discovered Automaton plans for something called "The Reclamation." Capturing their deep-space comms array on Troost may reveal critical intel about their plans. Liberate Troost.
Events	Arsenal Expansion Notice - In order to support the destruction of the Automatons, the Ministry of Defense has fast-tracked new support weapons for immediate distribution. The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun are now available for requisition.
Outcome	SUCCESS. The Automaton Comms Array on Troost has been decommissioned. Strangely, it appears to have been broadcasting outside the Galactic Frontier. Analysts are working to determine more, but much data was already deleted. However, we did discover a transmission containing blueprints for a new Automaton type: aerial gunships. With this advance warning, our hardworking factory laborers have been instructed to accelerate production of our most effective anti-air weaponry.
Notes	Introduced new stratagems: LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and MG-206 Heavy Machine Gun.
Operation Swift Disassembly, Phase II: Reduce Non-Sentient Combatant Production
Faction	Automatons
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Intel analysis have identified the planet Tibit as the most significant producer of illegal Automaton combatants. Liberating this planet would significantly impact the enemy's capacity to replenish decommissioned socialists. It would also limit further theft of the planet's natural resources from future generations of inarguably sentient humans.
Overview	We have identified the most significant source of Automaton combatant production. Liberation of this planet will severely impact the enemy's force replenishment capacity. Liberate Tibit.
Events	Automaton Counterattack - Intercepted messages indicate bot plans for a significant push. Increased resistance on Automaton planets is anticipated.
Outcome	FAILURE. The Automatons have retained Tibit, and its manufacturing facilities. Reports indicate they have already begun increasing production elsewhere. Intercepted bot chatter includes expressions of great sorrow for the "murder" of in-development bots—a transparent attempt at disinformation, as bots can neither feel nor be considered alive. However, the simulated oaths of vengeance may indicate actual strategic intent. A counteroffensive is likely.

April 2024

Galactic Frontier April 2024

April 2024

Liberation of Malevelon Creek
Faction	Automatons
Reward	35 Medals
Briefing	Several weeks ago, our citizens watched in horror as Malevelon Creek fell to the Automatons. Millions of valiant heroes perished attempting to defend it. For too long, the bots have maintained their illegal occupation, desecrating the memory of the fallen by rapidly depleting the planet's exceptionally rich rhodium deposits. This travesty will be allowed to continue no longer. Take vengeance for the fallen. Honor our heroes. End the theft of valuable minerals. Liberate Malevelon Creek.
Overview	The Automatons have illegally occupied and mined Malevelon Creek for too long. The time has come to take it back. Liberate Malevelon Creek.
Outcome	SUCCESS. At long last, Malevelon Creek is free. The heroes who died in its defense can finally rest in peace, knowing justice has been served, and the planet's rhodium deposits will be mined by the citizens who rightfully own them. Colonists are returning to the ruins of their settlements, pickaxes in hand, hopeful for a prosperous future. For at last, dawn breaks upon a free Creek.
Notes	In honor of the liberation and the immense narrative that players have created around this planet, April 3rd has been decreed as Malevelon Creek Memorial Day.
Operation Swift Disassembly, Phase III: Hold Ground
Faction	Automatons
Reward	40 Medals
Briefing	The Automatons, clearly having calculated their impending shutdown, have put their remaining resources into a large-scale counterattack. Desperate as it is, should this re-invasion succeed, it may jeopardize our ability to destroy the bots in time to prevent their incoming invasion. Hold your ground.
Overview	Designated planets must be under Super Earth control when order expires. Malevelon Creek, Ubanea, Draupnir
Outcome	SUCCESS. The Automaton counterattack has been repelled. They no longer have the resources to sustain an offensive on such a scale. While the timeline of their phaseout has been extended, it remains within reach.
Notes	Introduced new enemy units: Gunship and Factory Strider.
Operation Swift Disassembly, Phase IV: Annihilation
Faction	Automatons
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	The Automatons have been a thorn in the side of Freedom long enough. Though the Ministry of Intelligence has not yet discovered where they came from, or what they want, we can wait no longer. There is only one sure way to defend our citizens from the bots: total eradication. All Helldivers are ordered to make an all-out push to completely destroy the Automaton Legion. Despite the enemy's losses, Automaton messages still include references to "The Reclamation." They must be annihilated before this plan can be carried out. Countless Helldivers gave their lives to acquire this opportunity. Do not let their sacrifices be in vain. Protect our way of life. Destroy the Automatons at any cost.
Overview	All Helldivers are ordered to make an all-out push to completely destroy the Automaton Legion. Liberate all Automaton-held planets. Tibit, Durgen, Maia
Events	TIBIT LIBERATED - The factories on Tibit have been destroyed. Now, the enemy will be forced to distribute their forces more thinly, lowering their planetary resistance. The Automatons are beginning to crumble. Keep up the attack.
Dispatches	MOTIVATIONAL REINFORCEMENT — The Automatons are lifeless, emotionless, hateful socialists. They murdered innocent families. They ravaged Malevelon Creek. Worst of all, they threatened our way of life. All without any provocation or cause save a hard-coded hatred of Freedom. Save our citizens. Save Managed Democracy. Annihilate the Automaton threat, once and for all.
Outcome	SUCCESS. The Automaton threat has been fully eradicated from our galaxy. Our citizens are safe, our heroic fallen avenged. With the bots eradicated and the bugs contained, the galaxy is free once more. The supposed threat posed by the so-called "Reclamation" can be considered fully ended. Out of an abundance of caution, SEAF teams will continue to search what remains of the Automaton facilities and servers for any additional intelligence.
Notes	After the order, the Automatons no longer own any planets.
Safe E-710 Farm Construction
Faction	Terminids
Reward	35 Medals
Briefing	With the Automatons eradicated and Terminids contained, the time has come to work towards a more prosperous future for all citizens. To that end, construction of new, safer, and more efficient E-710 farms will soon commence. On these farms, Terminids will be raised in spacious enclosures and enriched with state-of-the-art nutritional supplements, all under careful supervision. Clear the way for the safe construction of the E-710 farms.
Overview	Clear the way for the construction of new, safer, and more efficient E-710 farms. Liberate the designated planets: Hellmire, Estanu, Crimsica
Outcome	SUCCESS. With the planet cleared, laborers have broken ground on the first of many Terminid Enrichment & Extraction Centers. New security measures, E-710 extraction procedures, and accelerated growth additives will be tested and perfected, laying the groundwork for development across the rest of the Terminid Quarantine Zone. Thanks to the Helldivers, the future of humanity is bright. Procreation applications will now be considered for approval, following the typical 180-day review process.
The Reclamation
Faction	Automatons
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	HIGH PRIORITY BROADCAST. ALL UNITS TO LIBCON 1. FEDERATION UNDER ATTACK. MULTIPLE PLANETS HAVE FALLEN. A massive Automaton Invasion Fleet, comprising tens of thousands of warships, arrived from FTL jump to the Valdis Sector and overran nearly every planet in just hours. Attacks on communications networks delayed warning until now. SEAF reserves are scrambling. All Helldivers are called to deploy immediately to the defense. This Fleet dwarfs the Automaton armies destroyed in Operation Swift Disassembly. As we predicted from the start, they were merely a vanguard. This is the Automatons' true force. Where the Automatons hid this fleet, and what their true intentions are—those questions must be answered later. The Reclamation has begun.
Overview	The Automatons have revealed their true force: a massive invasion fleet sweeping through our territory. Defenses are scrambling. Slow its advance as much as possible. Succeed in the Defense of at least 5 planets.
Dispatches	SUPER DESTROYER FLEET UPGRADE. In response to increased enemy threat, Helldivers are now authorized to requisition Level 4 Modules for all Super Destroyer systems. Like previous upgrades, the Level 4 Suite significantly upgrades the Super Destroyer with cutting-edge technology, provided by defense contractors who are galactic leaders in quality and safety. These critical upgrades will be installed without delay upon submission of the requisite number of samples, proof of commitment to furthering the cause of Liberty.
Outcome	FAILURE. The Automatons have seized control of many innocent and once-beautiful worlds. The valiant and tireless defense raised by the Helldivers was commendable, but it was not enough to stop such a large and cowardly assault. Any colonists not driven from their homes were likely slaughtered, their votes forever lost.
Notes	The Automatons are reintroduced to the game. Introduced new mission type: Evacuate High-Value Assets. Introduced Super Destroyer Fleet Upgrade in response to the Automaton invasion which provided level four upgrades for Ship Modules.
Halt the Automaton Advance
Faction	Automatons
Reward	55 Medals
Briefing	We must halt the Automaton advance. Helldivers are ordered to establish and hold the Menkent Line, consisting of the planets Menkent and Lesath. Establishing this defensive line will allow SEAF Engineers to begin construction of orbital defenses on those planets, deterring the advance of the Automaton Fleet and allowing counteroffensive preparations to begin.
Overview	The Automaton advance must be halted. Establish and hold the Menkent line to allow establishment of orbital defenses. Designated planets must be under Super Earth control when the order expires: Menkent and Lesath
Outcome	SUCCESS. The defense held. The Menkent Line has been established. The Automaton advance has been arrested. Rudimentary orbital defenses have been established along the line, and are being augmented by hardworking SEAF and civilian laborers. Meanwhile, the SEAF Forward Command Base on Vernen Wells is up and running, providing fresh recruits and supplies to the front.
Defense of Marfark
Faction	Automatons
Reward	35 Medals
Briefing	With the Menkent Line established, the Automaton Fleet has been forced to divert their plans. Now, they are attempting a concerted effort to punch through at a single planet. The Automatons are likely to muster the entirety of their strength for this endeavor. You must outlast the enemy. Hold the planet, no matter the cost.
Overview	The Automatons are attempting to punch through the line at a single planet. Hold it at all costs. Designated planets must be under Super Earth control when order expires: Marfark
Dispatches	INTELLIGENCE BRIEF - The Automatons have deployed a new heavy unit: the Factory Strider. Previously deployed in very limited quantities, likely prototypes, this massive abomination is a walking Automaton fabricator. It is heavily armed and armored, and should be engaged with coordinated firepower and unhesitating aggression.
Outcome	SUCCESS. The Automaton Invasion Fleet has been repelled. The bots committed much of their reserves to this attack. Even the large-scale deployment of the Factory Strider could not break the resolve of the Helldivers. The situation remains dire. The Automatons still illegally occupy vast swaths of our territory. But with this victory, the Helldivers have won the opportunity to turn back the tide.
Notes	Reintroduced the Factory Strider enemy unit to the game.
Gathering E-710
Faction	Terminids
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Thanks to the valiant and unceasing defense of the Helldivers, a robust defensive line has been established. This is likely only a temporary respite, while the bots refit in preparation to break through our defenses once more. We now have the opportunity to refuel our war effort. The defense effort depleted our E-710 reserves. In order to allow for a counter-offensive, the Helldivers are ordered to manually produce Terminid corpses for conversion into E-710.
Overview	The Automaton invasion has slowed, thanks to valiant defence efforts. We must take this chance to refill our E-710 reserves in order to stage a counter-offensive. Kill 2,000,000,000 Terminids.
Dispatches	In further proof of their elite training and irreplaceable value, the Helldivers reached the target set for Terminid production far faster than anticipated. While additional destruction of Liberty's enemies is always beneficial, E-710 refinement pipelines are full at the present time. However, there will be ample opportunities for additional biomass production in the future.
Outcome	SUCCESS. Valiant work, Helldivers. Thanks to your noble efforts, millions of tons of Terminid biomass has been rendered safe for collection, and is being processed into Element 710 as we speak. This surplus of fuel will enable the transport of weapons, equipment, and personnel to the frontlines of the Automaton fight. We now have the logistical means to enable and sustain an effective counter-offensive against the Automatons. Soon, we will take back lands they stole.
Notes	First major order with the "Kill X enemies" type.
Defense on Two Fronts
Faction	Automatons Terminids
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	Freedom is under attack once more. In an act of sinister syncronicity, both the Terminids and Automatons have launched large-scale assaults. The Helldivers must now defend our citizens on two fronts at once.
Overview	Both the Terminids and Automatons are attacking. Defend our territory on both fronts. Succeed in the Defense of at least 10 planets.
Outcome	SUCCESS. Freedom has overcome oppression once more. Even the combined might of the Terminids and the Automatons was no match for the fierce and obedient resistance of the Helldivers. Though some ground was lost, our enemies are exhausted, their assault broken upon the immovable shield wall of the Helldivers. The fight is far from over, but the light of Liberty shines bright over the worlds of the Federation today.
Operation Legitimate Undertaking, Phase I: Citizen Rescue
Faction	Automatons
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Intel has identified surviving citizens on two planets: On Choohe, citizens who have proved their loyalty through testing of a new Fortification Stratagem are trapped. On Penta, citizens who have synthesized tons of caustic chemicals for a new Support Weapon Stratagem are awaiting rescue. Likely, only the citizens and weaponry of the first planet liberated will be saved.
Overview	Brave surviving citizens on Choohe and Penta may still be saved, along with the weaponry they have continued to develop. Only the first planet to be liberated is likely to still have any surviving personnel or equipment. Choose Democratically. Liberate Choohe or Penta.
Events	The RL-77 AIRBURST ROCKET LAUNCHER stratagem is temporarily available to all Helldivers fighting on Penta. The MD-17 ANTI-TANK MINES stratagem is temporarily available to all Helldivers fighting on Choohe. PENTA LIBERATED - 90% of Penta's chemical factories have been secured. Fleetwide distribution of Airburst Rocket Launchers can now commence. Most of the chemical technicians who had been trapped on the planet were rescued. Tragically though, some had already perished by the time we reached them, having succumbed to toxic fume poisoning. The Automatons show no hesitation in the use of chemical warfare against civilians. The sacrifice of these heroes will never be forgotten.
Outcome	FAILURE. The Automatons, in their calculated oppression and hardwired avarice, have stymied our valiant efforts to liberate Choohe. The loss of the indispensable explosives on the planet will mean significant delays to the production of Anti-Tank Mines. The explosive technicians on Choohe have almost certainly been torn to pieces by the vicious blades of the Automatons. All will agree that every possible resource was directed towards their salvation. Their sacrifice is hereby honored.
Notes	First major order to include a choice between unlocking two exclusive stratagems. The RL-77 AIRBURST ROCKET LAUNCHER has become permanently available after the liberation of Penta.
Deactivate the Terminid Control System
Faction	Terminids
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	HIGH PRIORITY BROADCAST, OP. LEGITIMATE UNDERTAKING TERMINATED. EMERGENCY SITUATION IN TERMINID QUARANTINE ZONE. Several weeks ago, the Helldivers activated the Terminid Control System on the Barrier Planets: Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, & Turing. Since then, the Termicide produced by the TCS has kept the Terminids at bay. However, the TCS is no longer functioning as intended: Terminid outbreaks have erupted on all Barrier Planets. The bugs are displaying resistance to Termicide, something our top scientists previously believed impossible. The situation on Meridia is even worse. There, Terminid reproduction rates have exploded overnight, and continue to increase exponentially. The planet is already almost fully infested. While the exact mechanism for this hyper-reproductive adaptation is unknown it appears to be linked to continued Termicide exposure. So far, this effect is limited to Meridia. It cannot be allowed to spread. Operation Legitimate Undertaking has been placed on indefinite hiatus. Meridia is unsalvageable. The Helldivers are ordered to deactivate the Terminid Control System on the remaining Barrier Planets immediately.
Overview	Termicide exposure has been linked to a hyper-reproductive adaptation causing massive bug outbreaks. Meridia is already lost, but the remaining Barrier Planets can still be saved. Deactivate the Terminid Control System on Erata Prime, Fenrir III, and Turing.
Outcome	SUCCESS. Further calamity has been averted, thanks to the swift and disciplined response of the Helldivers to deactivate the remaining Terminid Control System nodes. With further Termicide dispersement arrested, the remaining Barrier Planets are safe from suffering Meridia's fate. The cause of the TCS failure has been identified. The Termicide functioned as expected, killing nearly 100% of all Terminids (and 0% of absolutely any other biological life). However, for the small fraction of the Terminids that survived, exposure to non-lethal doses of Termicide eventually caused beneficial changes to gene expression, in a completely unprecedented process known as hormesis. On most Barrier Planets, this adaptation was limited to increased Termicide resistance. But on Meridia, non-lethal Termicide exposure caused higher reproduction rates and reduced generation time. Continued exposure to Termicide is perpetuating this effect. The planet is now infested to a degree nearly comparable with the Terminid home planet, and scientists have classified Meridia as a "Supercolony." The infestation is so severe that conventional Helldiver operations on the planet would be ineffective. The Ministry of Science is hard at work on a solution. In the meantime, the Meridian Supercolony is likely to accelerate the spread of the Terminids in unforeseeable ways. Rest assured, the reckless scientists responsible for creating the Termicide are being thoroughly investigated. With the TCS inoperable and this new Supercolony active, the Terminids are now a greater threat than ever before.
Notes	Introduced event-specific mission type: Deactivate Terminid Control System. Meridia is manually locked from play, and has had its biome changed to Supercolony.

Contain Supercolony Outbreaks
Faction	Terminids
Reward	40 Medals
Briefing	The Terminid threat continues to evolve. Massive bug outbreaks have suddenly erupted on multiple planets. The spores that caused these outbreaks originated from the Meridian Supercolony. This is a new manifestation of Termicide-induced adaptation: the Supercolony appears to be producing far more spores than other infested planets, leading to unpredictable outbreaks within its vicinity. The Supercolony is too thoroughly infested for any conventional operations there to have any effect. Our top scientists are researching effective countermeasures. For now, the Helldivers must be contain these outbreaks immediately, before they spread out of control. [sic]
Overview	The Supercolony has caused sudden outbreaks on multiple planets. They must be contained immediately. Liberate all designated planets: Heeth, Angel's Venture, Veld, Acamar IV.
Outcome	FAILURE. We have failed to contain all of the outbreaks from the Meridian Supercolony. Terminids now infest more of our planets, spawning yet more agents of tyranny. Evacuation orders have been issued for all nearby planets. Citizens flee their homes, with only their clothes and family flags. This is unlikely to be the last of these outbreaks. They must be contained until the Ministry of Science finds a way to combat the Supercolony. Until then, our citizens will live in constant jeopardy.
Decommission Automatons for Mines
Faction	Automatons
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	Following the tragic, unavoidable loss of MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines on Choohe to the Automatons, and the civilians too, production began elsewhere immediately. However, output has been restricted due to shortages of necessary materials. The Automatons stole precious minerals from us, and churned these stolen resources into new soldiers and war machines. We must recoup these losses. The Helldivers are ordered to conduct a forceful, large-scale decommissioning of Automaton forces. The recovered scrap of dismantled bots will then be put towards construction of MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines.
Overview	Decommission the targeted number of Automatons, to be melted down and reconstructed into a new Stratagem: MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines. Decommission the targeted number of Automatons. 2,000,000,000.
Dispatches	CONTRACTOR MESSAGE - The following is a message from Battlefield Systems, a contracted defense service: "Battlefield Systems regrets to inform all Helldivers that a software issue has resulted in duplicate reporting of enemies killed during a previous Major Order. The issue has since been resolved. Users should anticipate longer times to reach target numbers of enemies to kill or dismantle. With this issue resolved, rest assured that battlefield tracking will now return to perfect functioning."
Outcome	FAILURE. Despite the best efforts of the Helldivers to decommission as many Automatons as possible, our scrap recollection efforts ultimately fell short. Now, industrious laborers, eager to do their part, find themselves without materials to forge into the tools of Liberty. And therefore, without purpose or pay. Construction of MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines will be, once again, delayed. Eventually, these weapons will reach the hands of the Helldivers, and the bodies of our enemies. But not today.
Notes	MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines are delayed for the second time.
Hold Planets for SEAF Conscription
Faction	Automatons Terminids
Reward	45 Medals
Briefing	The Automatons have invaded large swaths of our territory. The TCS has failed, and the Meridian Supercolony spews ever-larger quantities of Terminids across the galaxy. Liberty is under greater threat than ever before. In response to this situation, the Government of Super Earth had officially declared war on all agents of Tyranny. All actions thus far have merely been special military operations. This Galactic War on Tyranny will not end until Liberty is safe forever, once again. Mobilization across all sectors of the industry and economy has begun. Billions of able-bodied citizens from across the Federation have already volunteered for conscription. To train these eager new conscripts, construction of massive new training facilities has begun on a small number of lightly-populated planets. They will be capable of processing tens of millions of citizens at once through the rigorous 72-hour SEAF basic training course. The Helldivers must hold the planets until construction of the facilities can be completed.
Overview	Massive SEAF training facilities are being erected on key planets to support training of eager conscripts. Hold the planets until construction is complete. Designated planets must be under Super Earth control when order expires. Aesir Pass, Vernen Wells, Heeth, Angel's Venture
Outcome	SUCCESS. The freshly-constructed SEAF Basic Training Facilities are up and running, thanks to the tireless defensive operations of the Helldivers. The first class of recruits has already graduated, having demonstrated superior proficiency in rifle operation, mobility, and obedience. Now, trained and ready, they are headed to the front lines to do their part in the defense of Freedom. So long as the the Training Facilities remain under Super Earth control, SEAF support to planetary liberation will be augmented by a steady flow of enthusiastic new recruits. If they are lost, however, SEAF support will decrease, and subsequent planetary liberation will become more difficult.
Kill and Dismantle Freedom's Enemies
Faction	Automatons Terminids
Reward	50 Medals
Briefing	Across the Federation, patriotic citizens are doing their part for the war effort. Young, old, and previously-infirm citizens are filling the gaps on munitions lines left by those who excitedly and voluntarily reported for front-line duty. The fervent faith of Super Earth citizens for the war effort deserves to be rewarded—viscerally. To that end, the Helldivers are ordered to demonstrate the unassailable might of a united citizenry by destroying even greater numbers of our enemies than ever before. Terminids or Automatons, our citizens deserve to witness the fruits of their patriotic labor, in the lifeless bodies of Freedom's foes.
Overview	In order to further inspire the hard work of our patriotic citizens to support the war effort, demonstrate the glorious lethality of the Helldivers. Kill or dismantle the targeted number of Freedom's enemies. 3,141,592,653.
Outcome	ONGOING.
