This is Rick Bones on GNR 107's Wartime Bulletin. 8 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:40,720 Today we've got critical updates on the latest developments across the galaxy. 9 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Let's dive straight into the most pressing news from the front lines. 10 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:51,080 August 16th, the latest news of the day. Attack on Astana. This morning Astana 11 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,760 was under attack by the Terminids. Helldivers are urgently needed to mount a defense. 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,840 The situation is critical, and the outcome of this battle could determine the fate of 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480 Super Earth's defense on this front. New major order, the Gloom. 14 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,280 The Gloom, a massive interstellar spore cloud, now occupies significant Terminid space. 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,920 All vessels sent into the Gloom have ceased radio contact within minutes. 16 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,040 Our only hope is for Helldivers to procure samples of Terminid organic matter from the 17 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,160 closest planets. This mission is of utmost importance. Failure is not an option. 18 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,800 This week's news recap. August 15th, Erada Prime victory. 19 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,280 The tides of war have turned in our favor once more. Helldivers have successfully defended 20 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:43,640 Erada Prime, ensuring our stronghold remains intact. With 13,152 troops victorious, we 21 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,040 now redirect our focus to other pressing fronts. 22 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,120 Super Earth Command Dispatch. In a significant victory, the Helldivers have 23 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,880 wiped out the remaining automaton resistance while simultaneously holding the line against 24 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:02,400 the Terminid spread. This duel's success has drastically reduced automaton-held territory, 25 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:08,120 but the Gloom, an impenetrable cloud of Terminid spores, continues to spread, threatening our 26 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,000 future. August 14th. 27 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,920 The defense of Erada Prime was a success. Helldivers, you have once again shown your 28 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:22,260 mettle, repelling the Terminid threat with 13,152 troops remaining to continue the fight. 29 00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:28,120 The call to arms remains urgent as the fight rages on across the galaxy. 30 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,120 Victory at Istannu. In a hard-fought battle, the Helldivers have successfully defended 31 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:41,200 Istannu from the Terminids. This victory strengthens our position, with 24,327 troops now free 32 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:47,440 to focus on new threats. Defeat at Gokruks. However, not all news is victorious. Gokruks 33 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,880 could not withstand the Terminid onslaught. Our forces have been forced to retreat, leaving 34 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:59,520 9,358 Helldivers tasked with reclaiming the planet. This is a call to all able-bodied 35 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,540 Helldivers. Your efforts are needed to turn this defeat into our next victory. 36 00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:11,120 New Campaign on Erada Prime. A new campaign has started on Erada Prime, and Helldivers 37 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,680 are urgently requested to assist in defending against the relentless Terminids. Every moment 38 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,480 counts as we fight to protect Super Earth's interests. The rest of the week's recap if 39 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,080 you missed it. As we wrap up today's wartime bulletin, 40 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,800 Helldivers, let's take a moment to reflect on the victories and the challenges ahead. 41 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:35,200 Fenrir III and Vandalon IV have both been successfully defended and liberated from our 42 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:44,480 enemies, with 16,693 and 20,919 troops now free to reinforce other fronts. But the fight 43 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,040 continues. Gokruks and Akamar IV have come under heavy Terminid assault. Thanks to your 44 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:55,400 effort, Akamar IV has been defended, but Gokruks still needs to be liberated. The Trigon 45 00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Sector has seen a strategic victory with the final pocket of Automaton resistance eliminated, 46 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,400 and the light of freedom shines brighter. However, the war rages on, and new campaigns 47 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,600 have started on Astana and Erada Prime, both of which urgently need our defense. Helldivers, 48 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,360 your actions are the lifeline of Super Earth. Keep fighting, stay vigilant, and as always, 49 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:43,000 remember your death.
