Good evening Helldivers. This is Rick Bones on GNR 107's Wartime Bulletin.
Today we've got critical updates on the latest developments across the galaxy.
Let's dive straight into the most pressing news from the front lines.
August 16th, the latest news of the day. Attack on Astana. This morning Astana
was under attack by the Terminids. Helldivers are urgently needed to mount a defense.
The situation is critical, and the outcome of this battle could determine the fate of
Super Earth's defense on this front. New major order, the Gloom.
The Gloom, a massive interstellar spore cloud, now occupies significant Terminid space.
All vessels sent into the Gloom have ceased radio contact within minutes.
Our only hope is for Helldivers to procure samples of Terminid organic matter from the
closest planets. This mission is of utmost importance. Failure is not an option.
This week's news recap. August 15th, Erada Prime victory.
The tides of war have turned in our favor once more. Helldivers have successfully defended
Erada Prime, ensuring our stronghold remains intact. With 13,152 troops victorious, we
now redirect our focus to other pressing fronts.
Super Earth Command Dispatch. In a significant victory, the Helldivers have
wiped out the remaining automaton resistance while simultaneously holding the line against
the Terminid spread. This duel's success has drastically reduced automaton-held territory,
but the Gloom, an impenetrable cloud of Terminid spores, continues to spread, threatening our
future. August 14th.
The defense of Erada Prime was a success. Helldivers, you have once again shown your
mettle, repelling the Terminid threat with 13,152 troops remaining to continue the fight.
The call to arms remains urgent as the fight rages on across the galaxy.
Victory at Istannu. In a hard-fought battle, the Helldivers have successfully defended
Istannu from the Terminids. This victory strengthens our position, with 24,327 troops now free
to focus on new threats. Defeat at Gokruks. However, not all news is victorious. Gokruks
could not withstand the Terminid onslaught. Our forces have been forced to retreat, leaving
9,358 Helldivers tasked with reclaiming the planet. This is a call to all able-bodied
Helldivers. Your efforts are needed to turn this defeat into our next victory.
New Campaign on Erada Prime. A new campaign has started on Erada Prime, and Helldivers
are urgently requested to assist in defending against the relentless Terminids. Every moment
counts as we fight to protect Super Earth's interests. The rest of the week's recap if
you missed it. As we wrap up today's wartime bulletin,
Helldivers, let's take a moment to reflect on the victories and the challenges ahead.
Fenrir III and Vandalon IV have both been successfully defended and liberated from our
enemies, with 16,693 and 20,919 troops now free to reinforce other fronts. But the fight
continues. Gokruks and Akamar IV have come under heavy Terminid assault. Thanks to your
effort, Akamar IV has been defended, but Gokruks still needs to be liberated. The Trigon
Sector has seen a strategic victory with the final pocket of Automaton resistance eliminated,
and the light of freedom shines brighter. However, the war rages on, and new campaigns
have started on Astana and Erada Prime, both of which urgently need our defense. Helldivers,
your actions are the lifeline of Super Earth. Keep fighting, stay vigilant, and as always,
remember your death.
