Breaking: Today, after intense research, construction of the Democracy Space Station is ready to begin.

The DSS will be a powerful strategic tool for reshaping the Galactic Map — democratically directed by the Helldivers themselves. To achieve this, an orbital construction site must be secured. Two planets have large enough magnetospheres for safe construction: Gaellivare and Clasa. Both are under Automaton control. The final choice of which to liberate is left to the Helldivers.

During construction, the DSS will be extremely vulnerable to attack, so long-term defensibility is paramount. The DSS could change the course of the war. Its ultimate success or failure lies in the hands of our greatest heroes: the Helldivers.

    Sounds like it’s going to be a tough fight to keep it alive during construction.

    I can picture it getting trapped behind enemy lines, leading to its destruction.

      Whatever it does, the SSD Sovereign of Conviction will be there to defend it

      If it turns out to be an actual player hub area, it would be kinda odd if they decided to just remove the feature from the game once it’s established, just because players would fail to hold a certain area.

      Wasn’t this a major order before that failed?

      Feel like they should just add a hub to Super Earth, and then a mobile space station for each war front or something.

        If this is a player hub, it would be amazing to lose it to the enemy. It would make the war impactful.

        You can feel it when super earth will fall as everything is scattered and in ruins. When we’re beating the enemy back, we have shiny toys as our logistic network is operating at full power.
