| ~ Super Earth public service announcement. |
The Federation of Super Earth, or simply known as Super Earth, are the Anti-Villainous main Protagonists of the Helldivers series. Though believed by many of it's citizens to be a galaxy-wide federal republic preaching a political system known as "Managed Democracy", in actuality, it is a totalitarian dictatorship government seeking to reclaim control of the galaxy under siege by the Automatons, Terminids and the Illuminate, whom Super Earth has had initial diplomatic relations with.
History[]
Early Days[]
Super Earth was founded in the year 2044 when the nations of Earth united together, forming one massive government. Together, they built a government on the foundation of Managed Democracy, a system that allows minimal choice of who governs by the citizens, while keeping the populace happy and convinced that they are free people. With Earth now fully united, Super Earth sought to spread across the stars.
Over the course of many years, Super Earth spread across the galaxy, colonizing and terraforming a large number of worlds. Time passed, and Managed Democracy spread across the stars like wild fire. Over time, Super Earth became the largest known empire in space. They worked to see to it that nothing got in the way of their Managed Democracy. So much as discussing other forms of governments became a crime, and oppression of other ideals became common place.
Discovery of Other Species[]
Super Earth eventually came to realize that they were not the only species in the galaxy. Two other species were eventually made known.
The first discovery was the Bugs: a species of insectoid aliens commonly appearing amongst Super Earth colonies. The Bugs were relatively passive creatures, showing intelligence and generally keeping to themselves. The second was the Illuminate, or as they referred to themselves the Sq'uith: a technocratic-like species with highly advanced technology. The Illuminate were mostly peaceful and simply sought to coexist with Super Earth, seeking to make contact and establish peace amongst humanity and the Sq'uith. The last one to be 'discovered' was of Super Earth's creation, the Cyborgs. They were originally colonists sent to the planet Cyberstan, a freezing cold and mineral rich planet. To survive, the Cyborgs had to install cybernetics to adapt to the harsh conditions of the world. Eventually they spread to other worlds, and made a communistic sub government.
For years, there was peace. Super Earth and the other species kept to themselves. Overtime however, Super Earth became dissatisfied with what they had, and sought to take from the other races.
First Galactic War[]
In the year 2084, Super Earth set off a chain of events that started the first galactic war. During this time, they began to declare war with the other races for one reason for another. All of these reasons for war were unjust.
Bugs[]
Eventually, Super Earth came to the discovery that upon death, the Bugs would decompose into Element-710, or more simply oil. In order to justify the declaration of war on them, Super Earth launched a propaganda campaign portraying the Bugs as murderous fascist insects, who seek to kill them all. Super Earth then began to massacre the bugs and establish E-710 farms to harvest the Bugs for their oil. At first, the Bugs were exceptionally confused as to why humanity was trying to kill them, and ultimately did not fight back in any way. Eventually, the Bugs could not tolerate the abuse any further, and began to violently fight back against humanity.
Eventually the Bugs were defeated. Super Earth would then portray killing the Bugs as unnecessary and impractical, and began to simply farm them. Time and time again, the farming attempts would fail, and the Bugs would break out, starting the cycle anew. After many years of genetic modification, the Bugs were rendered docile for a great many years.
Cyborg[]
The Cyborgs of Cyberstan were still a part of Super Earth for the longest time. Super Earth however viewed cybernetics as abhorrent, and degrading to the human image. One day, Super Earth detonated a bomb on the planet Super Earth, killing over eight thousand innocent citizens. They then framed the incident as an attack from the Cyborgs. The Cyborgs however had no involvement in the deed. Super Earth declared war on them, which made the Cyborgs secede from Super Earth, forming the Collective of Cyberstan.
Despite their efforts, the Cyborgs were defeated. Super Earth recolonized Cyberstan, and the Cyborgs were forced to accept Managed Democracy or lose their civil rights. For a time, Cyberstan would remain under Super Earth control, until the Cyborgs grew tired of their oppression. They would then commit a terrorist attack, and secede again. This continued for many years until Super Earth forced all of the Cyborgs into the mines on Cyberstan, ending the war for good.
Illuminate[]
The Illuminate were the most difficult to declare a war on, as they had no quarrel with Super Earth in the slightest. Ultimately, the Illuminate sought peace with Super Earth and hoped for a future together. The latter envied the former's technology, and wanted it for themselves. To justify a war with them, Super Earth claimed that the Illuminate had weapons of mass destruction, when in reality they did not have anything of the sort. Super Earth then declared war on the Illuminate to steal their technology.
The Illuminate were ultimately defeated, forced into a peace treaty with Super Earth. This treaty disallowed them to produce any kind of weaponry and not host any form of armed forces. Super Earth would then take the Illuminate's tech and develop new FTL technology and, ironically, their own world ending weapons. The Illuminate eventually grew outraged with seeing their shrines desecrated and their once beautiful Technology be used for sinister purposes. They one again rallied and declared war against Super Earth. This happened time and time again until Super Earth forced the Illuminate out of their space for good.
Second Galactic War[]
After their victory over the other races, Super Earth saw peace and colonization without hindrance for over 100 years, expanding further than ever before. This peace lasted until several new threats emerged that destabilized their worlds once more.
Terminids[]
For years, the Bugs were kept docile in E-710 farms. Years upon years of genetic manipulation and rapid evolution turned them into the Terminids. One day a massive break out occurred on several E-710 farms all across the galaxy. The Terminids broke free and began to ravenously destroy any and all Super Earth colonies they came across. Eventually, Super Earth fought back, pushing back against the Terminids as best as they could. Time and time again worlds were reclaimed and lost.
Automatons[]
From the edge of the galaxy came the Automatons. They appeared on the western front of the galaxy, and began to conquer Super Earth space. The exact goals and origins of the Automatons are not entirely certain, but most agree that they are the descendants of the Cyborgs. The Automatons currently seek to conquer and protect the world of Cyberstan, and destroy Super Earth for good.
Illuminate return[]
After 100 years of being presumed to be extinct, the Illuminate returned. In the southern part of Super Earth Space civilians began to disappear. It was unknown why until the truth was revealed. The Illuminate had returned and were kidnapping citizens to convert them into "The Voteless". Horrific Human-Illuminate hybrids. Leading their new armies of mindless beasts, the Illuminate have returned to seek vengeance for the genocide committed against them.
Following Super Earth's usage of the Dark Fluid to destroy Meridia after it became a Terminid supercolony, transforming it into a black hole, the Illuminate are invading Super Earth planets to generate Dark Energy in order to push the Meridian black hole towards Super Earth, resulting in other nearby planets becoming destroyed as Meridia collides with them.
With the Meridian Singularity pushing further towards Super Earth, they ordered the construction of a device known as the "Repulsive Gravity Shield Generator." Multiple invasions by the Illuminate followed on neighboring planets and critical infrastructure, severely weakening the Deep Forge Complex on Claroell , the center for surveillance on Mastia, the Center Of Science on Fenrir III and the Xenoentomology Center on Turing. The Repuslive Gravity shield was finally activated within late april, but it was done in an erratic manner that killed several scientists who were working on the device.
Citizens across the Federation celebrated the supposed vanquishing of the Illuminate following the completion of the device. Super Earth decided to celebrate by hosting a party featuring a live DJ and drinks (in which only Class-A citizens were allowed to attend.) Super Earth also ordered the calibration of Stations 81-84, a satellite camera that would help to surveil the Sol Sector and it's neighboring space for threats.
This was swiftly interrupted on 2185-05-13 when Station-81 detected a spacetime fluctuation and slowly began to zoom in on the Meridian Singularity. Station-81's view showed larger illuminate ships warping out of the singularity, before it was sabotaged and hacked by the illuminate. Following this, Widow's Harbor was attacked by the Illuminate and Super Earth cancelled the Singularity Party. For the first time in the Second Galactic War, Super Earth declared a galaxy-wide state of emergency and ordered all Helldivers to the defense of Widow's Harbor and neighboring planets. In the briefing, they explained that the larger "vanguard" had arrived to destroy Super Earth and warned that several planets would fall under Illuminate Control, and that inevitably war and violent conflict would occur on Super Earth itself.
The Battle For Super Earth[]
| “ | DEMOCRACY BURNS. Super Earth has been invaded. The Illuminate scourge lays waste to hallowed ground. Cities, in ruins. Families, torn apart. FLAGS, DISRESPECTFULLY SOILED. Billions of votes have already been lost. Could this be the end of Managed Democracy? NOT TODAY! Now is the time for full mobilization! Every defender of peace, rally to arms! We will turn our streets into our battlefield, our playgrounds into our theatre of war! We will form the clenched fist of democracy, and show them what true freedom is! DISCIPLINE, ARMED, AND ABSOLUTE! JOIN THE FIGHT, SUPER EARTH NEEDS YOU! | „ |
| ~ The Democracy Officer Explaining the Situation on Super Earth. |
After Widows Harbor, and New Haven fell under Illuminate control Super Earth declared an Attrition campaign with the goal of reducing the strength of the greater illuminate fleet, dubbed "The Great Host." This was partially successful, reducing the fleet strength by around 20 percent. However, this was insufficient as on 2185-05-20 at around 6:00 AM SEST, Super Earth was invaded by the Great Host. SEAF Units were seen engaged in combating hostiles, with the assistance of the Helldivers. The first mega-city/government sector to come under siege was Eagleopolis (formerly Cairo, Egypt.) Super Earth declared Libcon 1 and ordered all Helldivers to come to the defense of Super Earth.
On 2185-05-20, a peak period of 210,000 Helldivers were seen defending Super Earth. On 2185-05-23, Eagleopolis was laid waste to the Illuminate, with a key center of commerce (this being The Great Mall Of Super Earth) being destroyed. Following this, Equality-On-Sea (Formerly Shanghai, China), Remembrance (formerly Buenos Aires, Argentina), and Administrative Center 02 (formerly Paris, France) came under attack, followed by total occupation. On 2185-05-29 Prosperity City came under full assault. Assistance by the Helldivers fighting the bug front (commonly referred to as Bugdivers) helped liberate Fort Union, which lead to the deployment of a virus that disrupted/dealt a significant blow (5 percent) to the Illuminate fleet strength.
At SEST 00:23, the President of Super Earth was killed in action defending the presidental bunker from illuminate, so government duty was relinquished to the Ministry of Defense, declaring Martial Law for the foreseeable future. Eagleopolis, Administrative Center 02, York Supreme, Port Mercy, York Supreme and Remembrance were under total occupation and remained in ruins. By the end of the battle Prosperity City and Equality-On-Sea were the only cities left "Standing." at 8:00 AM SEST, The Great Host was confirmed to have been depleted and they made a retreat, leaving Super Earth's orbit. Thousands of citizens were celebrating their victory, while the Minister of Defense vowed to have never forgotten the sacrifices of the fallen.
The Reconstruction of Super Earth.[]
Following the siege of the Korpus Sector (which the Helldivers successfully defended), a major order was sent out to facilitate the construction of the former city of Remembrance. The helldivers successfully completed this order, liberating the Celeste and Orion Sectors. The major order was successfully completed and all Helldivers and citizens of Super Earth were called to vote at the polls to decide on what the former City of Remembrance would be called now. The name "Gun" won with around 71.73 % of the vote. Following this, a mass mobilization and enlistment of (386,626) Helldivers occurred on 2185-08-26, fighting on all three fronts who wished to claim what Super Earth called "maximum security cities" - cities with extreme screening processes which were claimed that they could not be "overtaken by tyranny."
Into The Unjust[]
| “ | "You face a Hive Lord. May Liberty Guide You." | „ |
| ~ The Democracy Officer on a helldiver's ship, upon encountering a hive lord for the first time. |
After the Helldivers successfully established a operating base on Hellmire, Super Earth High Command identified the planet Oshaune as the entry point into the galactic epidemic known as "The Gloom." Super Earth Scientists discovered within the gloom, planets that had been overtaken by the bugs completely and established into planet-size colonies - dubbed "Hive Worlds." Thousands of Super Destroyers were equipped with special coating that shielded them from the gloom. At around 9:00 AM SEST, Helldivers encountered the Rupture Strain for the first time. These Terminids had evolved to use the ground to their advantage, burrowing into the earth and popping up to strike unsuspecting Helldivers. Most notably, Helldivers had encountered new colossal size enemies such as the Dragon Roach - who has wings and can spit acidic fire tens of meters wide at its victims and the Hive Lord, leaders of the Terminid Hive who are hundreds of meters wide and can spit large amounts of acid at Helldivers in addition to being very difficult to take down. Eventually, through Operation Relentless Uproot, Helldivers successfully claimed Oshaune which allowed it to be extracted for a new resource - E-711, the "Nectar" of the terminids which Democracy Officers compared to the extinct Honeybee species. Following this, Operation Free Space was to commence within the next one to two months. As this operation has not started, the outcome is unknown.
Helldivers also voted for the new city name of York Supreme (formerly the areas surrounding New York City USA and Toronto Canada.) As of 2185-11-14, the most popular vote is for "New York Supreme". The last rainforests on Super Earth which were used by Eagle fighters to support the battle of Super Earth are currently undergoing reforestation and conservation efforts following the Helldivers success in liberating Barbaros which has provided them with A supply of plants and biological wildlife to supplement the various species of animals and fauna lost within the Battle of Super Earth.
Operation Free Space[]
TBA December 2025
Organizations[]
Super Earth has a large number of individual government bodies, all of which oversee the spread of Managed Democracy throughout their worlds.
Helldivers[]
The Helldivers are an elite organization of soldiers sent to fight in wars against impossible odds. They are equipped with high quality gear and top-of-the-line weaponry provided by their government, and then dropped into the battlefield in squads of 4 or less in pods named "Hellpods". The Helldivers participate in a large assortment of missions. These range from the liberation of planets, defending worlds, evacuating civilians, etc. During their spare time, the Helldivers are put into cryostasis to avoid potential dissenting and to keep them alive as long as possible. Helldivers are also assigned a "Super Destroyer", which can store up to 24 helldivers via cryostatis pods, and an additional 20-30 people serve as crew aboard the ship helping to oversee operations and intel. "Super Destroyers" are the primary way of delivering "Stratagems", the Helldivers main method of attack. A stratagem can be called in by a helldiver via entering a special input, then throwing a device which will then project co-ordinates for the Super Destroyer to lock onto. Stratagems can range from orbital attacks/defenses, to "Eagle" (fighter jet) co-ordinated attacks/defenses, to special "Support Weapons/Backpacks" that Helldivers can use to take out heavier or a larger amount of enemies than what would be possible with a regular rifle/firearm. However, should a Helldiver fall in battle, they may be reinforced by the Super Destroyers.
They serve as the titular main protagonists of the franchise of the same name, being the playable characters.
Super Earth Armed Forces[]
The Super Earth Armed Forces, often shortened to SEAF, is the common soldier branch of Super Earth's military. They serve as foot soldiers, and fight the initial battles. They keep peace on worlds and protect the populace. Should the fight become too much for them, the Helldivers are sent in. The SEAF serve as the primary defense behind Super Earth and are responsible for the majority of operations carried out across the galaxy, while the Helldivers serve as "Democracy's Scalpel", helping to liberate/prepare planets for takeover by the SEAF, who otherwise serve as "Democracy's Hammer" or the security apparatus of Super Earth.
Ministry of Truth[]
The Ministry Of Truth oversees propaganda across the galaxy. They work to inspire patriotism and loyalty across Super Earth space, and deal with anyone who sounds "undemocratic" to Super Earth. The Ministry of truth's primary employees are Democracy Officers, who are deployed on every Super Earth Destroyer, as well as every colony and sub-sector of Super Earth. Other employees who may work in this department include employees of Strohmann News (which sounds like "strawman"), such as Coretta Kelly - Super Earth's premiere announcer as well as news anchor.
Ministry of Defense[]
The Ministry of Defense oversees the defense and war efforts across Super Earth space. They organize the Helldivers and SEAF. The Helldivers and SEAF both have branches in which soldiers can be assigned in. For example, the SEAF engineering corps is responsible for the majority of defense and attack technology, as well as supplying Helldivers with "Stratagems", which can range from orbital/fighter jet attack methods to special weapons that Helldivers can use to take out heavier enemies.
Ministry of Science[]
The Ministry of Science works on technological development in all kinds. Be it for civilian use, agriculture, FTL travel, or new weapons for the Helldivers, the Ministry of Science covers it all. While the Ministry of Defense is responsible for supplying Helldivers and SEAF with support, the Ministry of Science assists in developing the necessary technology.
Ministry of Expansion[]
The Ministry of Expansion oversees the colonization of worlds and their management. The Ministry of Expansion equips Super Earth Citizens/Colonists on planets liberated by the Helldivers/SEAF by supplying appropriate equipment. The Ministry of Expansion's primary employees are Overseers, people who are responsible for misgoverning a certain area of a planet, or an entire planet. Colonial Overseers, assigned to every colony. Colonial Overseers are responsible for making sure that these colonies not only prosper, but also adhere to the Ministry of Truth's guidelines, working in collaboration with the Democracy Officer(s) assigned to their colonies. Planetary Overseers not only manage Colonial Overseers, but are also responsible for managing a planet's resources and ensuring that each colony is distributed a basic kit to help them get started. Unlike Colonial Overseers, Planetary Overseers are "democratically" elected into office with Managed Democracy's voting algorithm.
One of Super Earth's head advisors and representatives for this department is Steven Caves, who has served as a senior official and guiding expertise on caves for Super Earth for over 25 years.
Ministry of Humanity[]
The Ministry of Humanity watches over the government and sees to it that humanity lives to see another dawn. The Ministry of Humanity helps oversee social services, such as managing roads, healthcare, education, and gene management. The Ministry of humanity uses eugenics and gene management in order to ensure that the next line of humans are physically and mentally stronger than the previous. In order for Super Earth Citizens to have families, they must fill out a special form called a "C-01" form, which must be manually reviewed and approved by a Democracy Officer.
Ministry of Unity[]
The Ministry of Unity keeps society stable, and suppresses any non democratic ideas. It's primary employees are Loyalty Officers, which are placed within sectors on Super Earth, and colonies on other planets. Their job is equivalent to a police force, and it heavily encourages citizens to report any non democratic activity that they demonstrate to their loyalty officers. This is not to be confused with Democracy officers, whose primary duties include motivating helldivers, manually reviewing C-01 forms, and overseeing SEAF internal activity.
The Ministry of Unity has a sub-division in the form of a Loyalty Intervention and Enforcement Squad (L.I.E.S) who undertake and serve as "Riot Police". They are headquartered on Mastia at the Mass Surveillance center. These usually consist of experienced/elite loyalty officers who curb mass dissidence incidents on Super Earth and its surrounding federation. They were first mentioned in the Helldivers universe on 2025-11-23 (Real World Time) dealing with mass dissidence on Diluvia, Gaellivare and Alta V both located in the Automaton, Terminid and Illuminate front respectively.
Politics and Ideals[]
Super Earth is governed with Managed Democracy. Citizens vote by answering several basic questions to get an idea of their ideals. The algorithm then applies a vote to the candidate that best matches their answers. Citizens are not allowed to manually vote on their candidate, and wanting to do so can result in being labeled a dissident.
Super Earth is shown to be exceptionally oppressive. They do not allow anything that may stray them away from Managed Democracy. So much as suggesting change, wanting to manually select a vote, or even questioning the government can result in the perpetrator being sent off to a freedom camp to be reeducated, assassinated, or even publicly executed. However, the idea that defeated Helldivers are sent to reeducation camps, is, in fact, just a rumor.
Super Earth enforces patriotism to a fanatical level. The term freedom is said constantly in all forms of propaganda, as is the word liberty. Not saluting and pledging to the Super Earth flag can result in being executed. So much as associating or sympathizing with aliens can result in being executed.
However, Super Earth has proven to be more totalitarian than actual democratic; as their oppression to anything against their Managed Democracy doctrine is subtle proof of their methods overall.
