Overview

Operation: Angel’s Vengeance was launched on February 15, 2025, in direct retaliation for the destruction of Angel’s Venture at the hands of the Illuminate. The mission was designed as a prolonged and structured counteroffensive, seeking to cripple Illuminate forces, eliminate high-value targets, and disrupt their operational infrastructure.

The operation unfolded in multiple phases, with Phase 1: Drown Them in Ink marking the beginning of our campaign. Special Forces units were tasked with engaging the enemy across multiple battlefronts, prioritizing high-kill-count missions and targeting critical Illuminate war assets.

Phase 1: Drown Them in Ink

Mission Objectives

1. Eliminate Illuminate forces – Targeted enemy numbers in the tens of thousands.

2. Destroy Harvesters – Prioritize eliminating large enemy war machines.

3. Disable Monolith Spires – Disrupt enemy command and energy collection infrastructure.

4. Activate SAM Sites – Strengthen air defense and prevent reinforcements.

5. Recover Intelligence – Gather strategic data for future engagements.

Operational Challenges

• Underestimated Enemy Presence: Initial projections vastly underestimated the depth of the Illuminate's reinforcements, making early engagements more difficult than anticipated.

• Split Priorities: Many SESF units were actively engaged in combating Terminid infestations, leading to slow participation in the early stages of the operation.

• Intervention by the Freedom Alliance: Reinforcements from allied factions were required to maintain pressure on the Illuminate after an early lack of SESF response.

Mid-Operation Adjustments

By February 18, 2025, SESF High Command issued a critical realignment order, urging Helldivers to shift focus back to the Illuminate front. Intelligence from the Ministry of Science estimated that, at the current pace, the Meridian Singularity crisis (caused by Dark Energy harvesting) could lead to catastrophic consequences for Super Earth. The order was given to immediately prioritize Angel’s Vengeance objectives over all other conflicts.

Phase 1: Part 2 – Renewed Assault

With increased focus and reinforcements, SESF forces made significant strides in eliminating Illuminate forces. However, resistance was still formidable.

Mission Priorities in Part 2:
✔ Continue Eliminating Squids – Aggressive sweeps through contested zones.
✔ Destroy Illuminate Monoliths – Further disrupt enemy energy operations.
✔ Activate SAM Sites – Establish and hold key defensive positions.
✔ Disable Fleet Movements – Interdict enemy supply lines and reinforcements.

Despite gains made, SESF Command rated Part 1 as only a partial success (2/5 stars) due to the slow start and failure to completely neutralize the threat before reinforcements arrived.

Overall Outcome & Lessons Learned

• Partial Victory: Operation Angel’s Vengeance dealt a significant but incomplete blow to the Illuminate. The enemy remains a persistent threat, but SESF forces have forced them to retreat from key zones.

• Strengthened Defenses: The installation of SAM Sites and increased intelligence gathering have improved SESF response capability against future Illuminate attacks.

• Priority Alignment Issues: SESF forces were initially too divided across multiple fronts (Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate), delaying critical early strikes. Future operations should establish clearer prioritization to prevent similar slow response times.

• Increased Community Involvement: Operation Angel’s Vengeance marked one of the largest community-driven SESF events, with multiple factions contributing combat reports and mission logs.

Final Notes & Future Actions

SESF will not stop until the Illuminate are eradicated or permanently driven from Super Earth’s borders. While Operation Angel’s Vengeance achieved some success, a follow-up campaign may be necessary to fully cleanse their presence.

Next Steps:

• Continue intelligence gathering to track Illuminate fleet movements.

• Prepare Special Forces for additional counteroffensive missions.

• Maintain SAM Site defenses and refine anti-Illuminate combat tactics.

• Monitor Meridian Singularity fluctuations to predict further enemy activity.

The battle is not yet over. For Liberty! For Super Earth!

Operation Status: ✅ Completed

Next Deployment: Prepare for future medical support and resource collection operations.

For Democracy. For Super Earth. For Victory! 🚀

Date: December 18, 2024 – December 21, 2024
Faction Opponent: The Illuminate
Primary Objective: Protect colonists from the Illuminate’s influence and halt the expansion of the Voteless.

Initial Briefing & Objectives

Operation: Aegis of Democracy was initiated to counter the Illuminate's invasion of another colony. The enemy’s tactics of abducting and converting civilians into Voteless posed an existential threat to Super Earth’s sovereignty. The SESF was tasked with securing a safe zone where unturned colonists could take refuge until extraction was possible.

The SECS Fist of Justice, under 10-Star General Proctor, oversaw the operation. However, the Illuminate’s advanced technology interfered with scans, requiring Helldivers to manually activate Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) Sites to establish aerial defense.

Primary Objectives:
✅ Deploy to Illuminate-invaded planets.
✅ Activate 100 SAM Sites to improve anti-air defenses.
✅ Eliminate 10,000 Illuminate forces to thin enemy ranks.
✅ Submit proof of completed objectives to SESF Command.

These objectives were set as a community goal, meaning all participants contributed to the overall success of the operation.

Phase 2: Adjusted Mission Parameters

Following initial engagements, it was discovered that 10,000 Illuminate eliminations had been severely underestimated due to a critical intelligence miscalculation by a trainee in the Intelligence Service (who was promptly sent to a Democratic Rehabilitation Camp).

New Objectives (Part II):
🔺 Eliminate 60,000 Illuminate forces – Significantly increasing the original kill target.
🔺 Complete 30 Free Colony Objectives – Establish firm control over liberated zones.
🔺 Evacuate 20 civilian groups – Rescue operations became a critical mission goal.

Additionally, high-explosive stratagems such as 500kg Bombs, Orbital Lasers, and Napalm Bombardments were prohibited to preserve the colony's infrastructure.

Operation Outcome

Despite the intensified mission requirements, Operation Aegis of Democracy was concluded prematurely on December 21, 2024, after the Illuminate unexpectedly retreated from the battlefield.

🔻 Mission Status: Partial Success
🔻 The Illuminate retreated before all objectives were met.
🔻 Safe zones were partially secured, but colony evacuation remained incomplete.
🔻 High Command acknowledged SESF’s efforts but deemed the operation as a limited victory.

A sudden loss of contact with SECS Fist of Justice was reported at the end of the operation, leaving a lingering question as to whether the Illuminate’s withdrawal was part of a larger strategy.

Lessons Learned & Future Directives

• Intelligence Failures: The underestimation of enemy forces caused initial misallocation of resources. Future operations should include more real-time intelligence updates to adjust objectives dynamically.

• The Illuminate’s Unpredictability: Their sudden withdrawal left SESF High Command uncertain about their true motives. It remains unclear whether this was a feint or a strategic recalibration.

• Civilian Rescue Limitations: While Helldivers proved adept at eliminating enemy forces, extraction and protection of civilians require new strategies, possibly specialized rescue units or enhanced evacuation protocols.

Final Verdict

Operation Aegis of Democracy was a tactical victory but a strategic stalemate. While the Illuminate’s expansion was halted, their long-term plans remain unknown. The sudden loss of contact with SECS Fist of Justice suggests that future engagements with the Illuminate may escalate unpredictably.

Status: Operation Completed ✅

In a display of unparalleled courage and coordination, the Super Earth Special Forces (SESF) Helldivers have been awarded the prestigious Medal of Eternal Defiance following their successful defense of the strategic planet Gaellivare. High Command recognized the valor and tenacity of all Helldivers who survived the relentless onslaught, marking a significant milestone in the ongoing war effort against the Automatons.

The Battle for Gaellivare and the Democracy Space Station (DSS)

Gaellivare, a critical stronghold in the fight against the Automatons, came under severe threat as enemy forces discovered its strategic importance. The SESF High Command issued an urgent transmission rallying all available units to hold the line. "WE WILL NOT LET GAELLIVARE FALL," declared the message, emphasizing the planet's significance and the necessity of its defense at all costs.

Every available Destroyer was mobilized, with orders to spare no ordnance in the defense effort. Both veteran Helldivers and new recruits were called to action, highlighting the inclusive and desperate nature of the battle. Mission outcomes were to be reported meticulously in the designated log channel to ensure coordination and strategic planning.

Coordination and Collaboration

This operation was not undertaken by the SESF alone. In an unprecedented move, the SESF coordinated with several other Helldiver units, including the Freedom Alliance and their Low Sodium Divers, as well as the 9th Hellraisers. This coalition amassed a force exceeding 30,000 Helldivers, showcasing a united front against the common enemy.

Intel suggested that the Automatons planned to push through Tarsh, Lesath, or Claorell, with Lesath being the most probable target due to the Jett Brigade's stationing on Vernen Wells. Holding these planets was deemed crucial for the success of the mission. The collective efforts of multiple Helldiver groups were instrumental in the defense strategy, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration.

The Democratic Space Station Launch

Amidst the turmoil, the Democratic Space Station (DSS) was prepared for launch. The DSS required substantial fueling, prompting mass eradication orders for Terminid planets to acquire the necessary E-710 fuel crystals. The defense of Gaellivare was pivotal in buying time for the DSS's hyperdrive to become operational.

The successful launch of the DSS marked a turning point in the conflict, providing new capabilities and strategic advantages to the allied forces. The conclusion of the "Defend the DSS" special mission was a testament to the Helldivers' dedication and strategic prowess.

The Medal of Eternal Defiance

In honor of the unwavering defense of Gaellivare and the successful launch of the DSS, High Command authorized the Medal of Eternal Defiance for all SESF Helldivers who withstood the onslaught. This esteemed medal symbolizes valor and resilience in the face of unyielding adversaries.

Crafted from the salvaged alloy remnants of defeated Automatons, the medal embodies the strength forged from the debris of the enemy. Adorned with dark titanium and inlaid with shimmering fragments of E-710 fuel crystals, it features the iconic symbol of Gaellivare—a raised, polished fist—and is inscribed with the words “Gaellivare Unyielding.”

Honoring the Heroes

Special commendations were given to the Helldivers who submitted mission reports, a crucial element in the coordination and success of the operation. The following individuals were recognized:

• LordArmagedom of the Sandworms

• Gen.Terenas-17th Hellfire of the 17th Hellfire Executioners

• 10SG RR | Harbinger of Judgement of the Outer Fleet

Their detailed reports contributed significantly to the mission's success and set a standard for operational excellence.

Continued Vigilance

While the defense of Gaellivare and the launch of the DSS are monumental achievements, the war is far from over. The SESF and allied forces remain vigilant, continuing to utilize the DSS's new capabilities to press the advantage against the Automatons.

High Command urges all Helldivers to maintain readiness, continue submitting mission reports, and uphold the spirit of unity and defiance that has carried them thus far.

Conclusion

The defense of Gaellivare stands as a beacon of hope and a testament to the strength derived from unity and unwavering resolve. The awarding of the Medal of Eternal Defiance not only honors individual valor but also symbolizes the collective might of the Helldivers and their allies. As the war against the Automatons rages on, the SESF and its coalition remain steadfast, echoing the rallying cry: "GAELLIVARE SHALL NOT FALL.

For the Glory of Super Earth, Helldivers of the SESF Coalition!

The Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Unity are thrilled to announce the remarkable completion of Operation: Harvest, a groundbreaking mission that has pushed the boundaries of terraforming research. In this first-of-its-kind initiative, our Helldivers ventured deep into unexplored territories, braving alien worlds to gather 1000 rare and invaluable planetary samples—resources critical for advancing humanity's reach across the stars.

Mission Success and Recognition

Out of the many Helldivers who took up this daring task, SP M1 | SESF Sword of Midnight stands alone as the first to achieve the full mission objective, collecting all required samples with precision, speed, and resilience. In recognition of this unparalleled effort, the SESF Harvest Medal has been awarded to Sword of Midnight, who embodies the spirit of scientific discovery and the determination of Managed Democracy. This Helldiver’s contributions bring us closer to establishing sustainable colonies on distant planets and advancing our unified vision for humanity’s future.

Mission Objectives and Progress

Under the Ministry of Unity’s directive, Operation: Harvest tasked Helldivers with gathering specific biological and mineral samples from newly charted planets. These samples serve as a foundation for the Ministry of Science’s ongoing research, particularly in adapting planetary environments to suit human needs. The collected data and resources will now undergo rigorous analysis, contributing directly to our terraforming protocols and helping us better understand the foreign ecosystems we encounter.

Helldivers participating in this operation logged their sample collections through mission reports in the SESF Discord #mission-reports channel, ensuring that their progress could be accurately tracked and relayed to the Bureau and our scientific teams.

Ongoing Contributions and Future Opportunities

As a joint mission between the Ministries of Science and Unity, Operation: Harvest represents the first step in a long-term series of planetary research missions. This vital project will be repeated on a monthly basis, allowing more Helldivers to contribute to the grand mission of ensuring humanity’s survival on newly terraformed worlds.

We urge any Helldivers who missed this initial window to prepare for next month’s mission. Your bravery and dedication drive the progress of our scientific advancements and ensure that humanity will not only survive but thrive in the far reaches of space.

For the Advancement of Science, Unity, and the Future of All Humanity!

The Ministry of Science and the Ministry of Unity extend their deepest gratitude to SP M1 | SESF Sword of Midnight and all Helldivers who continue to serve our vision with courage and commitment. Your work secures the path forward for every citizen of Super Earth.
