New Campaign:HONOR THE FALLEN
Liberty Day approaches, and with it, the responsibility to honor the memories of fallen heroes. The Super Earth Government has passed a bill authorizing the construction of a memorial worthy of their sacrifices: the Malevelon Creek Memorial & Interrogation Center for Human Rights.
As the name implies, the Memorial would honor the fallen not just in thought, but in action: through enhanced interrogation of dissidents and enemies of Freedom.
However, wanton aggression from all 3 enemy factions threatens this project. Their occupation of Super Earth territories rich in rare metals, crude oil, and radioactive isotopes, among others, steals from the prosperity of all. This is an insult to the memory of our heroes. The Helldivers are ordered to liberate FURY, ESKER, and ZEA RUGOSIA.

MAJOR ORDER WON
Thanks to the Helldivers' philanthropic bravery and altruistic lethality, the AIR (Anti-Illuminate Restitution) initiative has been funded to its maximum level. Every revered Class A orbital retirement facility affected by recent Illuminate interference has now received a heavily subsidised upgrade to their respiratory fortification package.
With regional real estate futures fully stabilized and all corporate liabilities mitigated, the Helldivers stand triumphant.
