Operation Valiant Enclosure
Operation Valiant Enclosure
No description provided.
Good evening, I'm your host, Coretta Kelly.
Today, fighting against the Terminids was bolstered by the arrival of the Helldivers,
marking the start of Operation Valiant Enclosure. According to the Ministry of Defense,
the Terminids will be safely quarantined once more by the end of the month.
We go now to breaking news. We've just received what appears to be the first confirmed footage
of the emerging Automaton threat.
We're receiving word now that the President has released a statement, saying quote:
"It is past time we responded to this unprovoked incursion against Democracy.
The Helldivers are deploying as we speak to strike a number of Automaton military installations.
These invaders will soon discover the steel of Super Earth resolve," end quote.
With fighting on two fronts, this will be the largest Helldiver mobilization since the First Galactic War.
That's Liberty's Latest; I'm Coretta Kelly.

Illuminate Main Fleet
Illuminate Main Fleet
Appeared in game starting on 2025-05-15
Freedom's Greetings, I'm Coretta Kelly. In a shocking development, a massive fleet of Illuminate ships has appeared near the Meridian Singularity, seemingly having traversed the wormhole from somewhere unknown. This so-called "Great Host" of the Illuminate is believed to be ultimately headed for Super Earth itself. Our proud capital may soon become a battleground. Planetary defenses are being bolstered, with the help of volunteer civilians young and old who refuse to abandon the heart of Managed Democracy. Meanwhile, the Helldivers have deployed to engage the Illuminate force and slow its advance. That's Liberty's Latest; I'm Coretta Kelly.
Illuminate Invade Super Earth
Illuminate Invade Super Earth
Appeared in game starting on 2025-05-20
This is Coretta Kelly, with an emergency broadcast. Super Earth is under attack. The Illuminate are invading. All citizens are advised to seek shelter immediately. Illuminate forces have launched assaults on each Mega City, including Prosperity City itself. Helldiver and SEAF units are engaged in fierce urban fighting on multiple fronts. Superstone Park has been destroyed. VHF Channel 1612 will broadcast up-to-date citizen alerts. This has been Coretta Kelly.'
Illuminate Defeated Super Earth
Illuminate Defeated on Super Earth
Appeared in game starting on 2025-05-30
Good evening, I'm Coretta Kelly, with momentous, joyous news. We've just received word that Illuminate forces have withdrawn from Super Earth. The defense of Super Earth has succeeded; the battle is won. The valiant Helldivers, aided by SEAF soldiers, have saved our home. Days of vicious fighting have ended with the decimation of the once-Great Illuminate Host, last seen warping out of Super Earth's orbit. Multiple Megacities lie in ruins. The death toll of high-classification citizens is still being counted. This victory follows an unimaginable assault on Freedom, which will NEVER be forgotten, nor forgiven. The Second Galactic War continues, but today is a day of celebration. The shadow of Tyranny has been lifted from our great capital. Freedom shines brightly once more—thanks to the sacrifices of our greatest heroes. That's Liberty's Latest; I'm Coretta Kelly. May Freedom watch over you, and may Freedom watch over the Federation of Super Earth.

Trivia
The name "Strohmann" is a play on the words "straw man", which describe a person who "is used to hide an illegal or secret activity"[1]. This leads to believe that the news presented on the channel are not the actual truth but rather information curated to fit Super Earth's agenda.
