Be advised, K is lost so __***all Helldivers should finish off ZZANIAH PRIME***__. While it has a large 30k/h resistance, it was already ¾ liberated and liberating it would put BLISTICA under siege, which has 25k/h resistance.
Conversely CHOEPESSA IV only has measly 5k/h resistance so can be taken by a mere >5% of active Helldivers later, putting K under siege in the process.
PS: There was a small computer glitch during our newsletter submission last week. ALDERIDGE COVE was meant to be SANGIS.
2026-09-07 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Apart from a liberation of RD-4 which would put HESOE PRIME and ROGUE 5 under siege, clearing the entire Rigel sector in the process, completing the liberation of KARLIA followed by HYDROBIUS, both enemy garrisons of which are utterly broken and put up no resistance at the moment, and then taking SETIA which has a median 10k/h absolute resistance would put SENGE 23 under siege, which has a high 20k/h resistance, and moving on to SHETE would put both ALDERIDGE COVE and SIEMNOT under siege, too.
2026-08-31 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
In the Illuminate-theatre liberating RD-4 would still have the single greatest impact but liberating ALARAPH followed by OASIS and then NEW STOCKHOLM followed by IRO would be exceptionally easy, retake large parts of the squid's current territory and clear the Rictus sector entirely with comparatively negligible effort.
In the Automaton-theatre the Cyborgs are advancing into the Tanis sector again but so far there's no strategic opportunities present to oppose them, only straight defences.
2026-08-24 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After first rapidly expanding Akira- and Hanzo sectors the Void has suddenly collapsed leaving SEASSE in the hands of Liberty and thus opening up the opportunity for putting both HESOE PRIME and ROGUE 5 under siege by regular SEAF forces simultaneously by liberating RD-4, thus clearing the entire Rigel sector from all Illuminate presence.
In the Automaton-theatre it might be advisable to liberate MINTORIA and ZZANIAH PRIME to put BLISTICA under siege and secure against new Cyborg incursions.
2026-08-17 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The 501st SOARD has entered void-space and engaged Vote Snatcher forces on _Unknown Void Planet ALPHA_. Charting the void-space proves extremely difficult as cartographic efforts are thwarted by misaligned position data between planets in real-space and their void-space counterparts, like SENGE 23 and HYDROBIUS. Not only does their void-space position not match their real-space galactic position but they also appear to be around 18% closer together in the void-space than they are in real-space.
2026-08-10 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
In five days the siege liberation of WASAT will be complete and the Ymir sector free from the clanker scum once more.
We are also eagerly awaiting the new editions to the Freedom Alliance's fleet portfolio and have already been saving up as many FP as possible to commission a Martyr-Class Battleship as soon as it becomes available. Our fleet will continue to grow in strength to surpass whatever the enemies of Liberty and Democracy throw at us.
None will stand in our way.
2026-08-03 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We would like to congratulate all Helldiver units in the Terminid-theatre on finally liberating GRAND ERRANT and with it clearing the Farsight sector and putting GEMMA under siege by regular SEAF forces which are set to complete its liberation within three days and thus clearing the Ursa sector as well.
In the Illuminate-theatre liberating RD-4 would put HESOE PRIME under siege and this strengthen our threatened foothold in the Rigel sector.
We're looking forward to MEISSA's liberation, too.
2026-07-27 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Our fleet has grown steadily over the past few months and has now reached the milestone of ten commissioned ships:
- SES Spear of Athene (2186-05-04)
- SES Sword of Týr (Dreadnought, 2186-05-12)
- SES Harpe of Hermes (2186-05-17)
- SES Staff of Iris (2186-05-25)
- SES Dagger of Loki (2186-05-27)
- SES Wings of Isis (ESB, 2186-06-27)
- SES Halberd of Bishamon (2186-07-03)
- SES Torch of Hecate (2186-07-11)
- SES Sword of Hermóðr (2186-07-19)
- SES Rod of Anubis (2186-07-25)
2026-07-20 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
VARYLIA 5 & YED PRIOR have already fallen victim to the Automatons' autocratic imitation of our glorious Democracy Space Station. This is the most potent threat to Super Earth, our home, and our way of life we have seen since the First Galactic War, possibly ever.
The premier order of business is simply to hold fast and hold the line as best we can while the Ministry of Science develops some counter together with the Ministry of Defence, and the Ministry of Intelligence identifies weak points.
2026-07-13 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
***The clankers are once again on the march!***
In the Automaton-theatre the defence of MINTORIA takes precedence over CURIA has the former has a 30% larger garrison (HP) than the latter making it more difficult to reconquer.
In the Illuminate-theatre KEID will in all likelihood be swallowed by the Void and since GENESIS PRIME has been abandoned by the Helldivers all our hard-fought progress there will be lost within two days.
In the Terminid-theatre GRAND ERRANT remains a priority target.
2026-07-06 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After almost seven weeks of utter inaction on X-45 MEISSA has fallen to the Cyborgs again and thus the great opportunity to liberate around a quarter of the clankers' current territory by just taking the two lightly defended planets of X-45 and VEGA BAY has been lost. And instead of hearing freedom ring on MOX over a month ago without having to loose a single Helldiver there we are now wasting hundreds of thousand of brave Helldivers' lives pushing ourselves against its large 20k/h resistance.
2026-06-29 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Now with YED PRIOR liberated, CLASA under siege by regular SEAF forces and ALARAPH secured it is very strongly advised to press our advantage against the clankers and push to liberate X-45 opening up the path to VEGA BAY which, due to its low 5.0k/h resistance could be liberated by the ~7% core Botdivers (so those who remain in the Automaton-theatre irrespective of MOs) alone, if slowly. Taking X-45 and VEGA BAY would put WEZEN, MOX & WASAT under siege, just like CLASA, and clear both sectors.
2026-06-22 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
In the Automaton-theatre, for the sixth week in a row: **X-45 + VEGA BAY = ~¼ clankers' territory liberated** but also the question why we went to BLISTICA via MINTORIA instead of via YED PRIOR which would have put CLASA with its massive hostile reinforcement strength (resistance) under siege by SEAF forces.
In the Illuminate-theatre OASIS is no longer accessible but access to RD-4 has been reestablished and liberating it would put HESOE PRIME with its massive 40k/h resistance under siege.
2026-06-15 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
In the Automaton-theatre, for the fifth week in a row: **X-45 + VEGA BAY = ~¼ clankers' territory liberated**.
In the Illuminate-theatre liberating OASIS would put GENESIS PRIME under siege and set up a possible siege liberation of ALAMAK VII via liberating NEW STOCKHOLM, and a siege liberation of GRAFMERE and VALMOX via liberating IRO which would push the squids all the way back to the outer parts of the galaxy and giving us a better chance to hold back any further expansions of the Void.
2026-06-08 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After ACHERNAR SECUNDUS has been defended against the Terminid-incursion all Helldivers should redeploy to the **liberation of X-45**, clearing the path to **VEGA BAY** which, upon being liberated, will deliver one of the single biggest blows in Second Galactic War history to the Automaton Legion, putting three planets under siege, clearing two sectors and altogether taking back about a quarter of the clankers' current territory.
-# PS: AURORA BAY is a trap. See: https://redd.it/1tzbq9c/
2026-06-01 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We would once again like to urge all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre to **liberate X-45** to open up the way to **VEGA BAY** which can be liberated by a small force of <10% of active Helldivers and would put WEZEN, MOX and WASAT under simultaneous siege, clear the Ymir- and Trigon sectors and liberate about a forth of current bot controlled territory.
-# see: https://redd.it/1tgmg1n/
-# [PS: Both garrison strength (aka HP) & resistance of MARTALE are 50% __higher__ than those of X-45.]
2026-06-01 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After PARSH is liberated all Helldivers should redeploy to the liberation of IRULTA which will put both the MO-target REAF, as well as ELYSIAN MEADOWS under siege. A better order of liberations would have been IRULTA, PARSH, MOG, KERTH SECUNDUS and then finishing off REAF but that is neither here nor there at this point.
After all MO-targets are secure X-45 should be the priority in the Automaton-theatre, as taking it and VEGA BAY will (siege) liberate a quarter of the clankers' territory.
2026-05-18 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After MEISSA is liberated and VERNEN WELLS defended all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre should continue the advance through the Ymir sector and liberate X-45 and VEGA BAY as that will put WASAT, MOX and WEZEN under siege simultaneously, clear both sectors entirely, put the last known magma world back firmly under Super Earth control with minimal effort and cut almost a quarter out of the clankers' territory.
This is an __extremely__ rare opportunity and failing to seize it will haunt us.
2026-05-11 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The situation in the Illuminate- and Automaton-theatres remains largely unchanged though we implore all Helldivers not to let the hard-fought progress already made on VERNEN WELLS go to waste seeing as we only need around +5% liberation to open up the town of BENEVOLENCE which only has a resistance of 2k/h compared to the planet's 10k/h and once liberated, would give us the overall victory in the 23rd Battle of VERNEN WELLS.
2026-05-11 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We advise all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre again to deploy to YED PRIOR in order to put CLASA under siege and thus keep the Deep Mantle Forge Complex on CLAORELL safe.
Liberating YED PRIOR requires only >10% of active Helldivers which is about the amount currently deployed in the theatre. We'd also like to point out that the strategically less valuable VERNEN WELLS (0.68%/h = 10k/h), which substantial forces are deployed on, has the exact same resistance as YED PRIOR (1.00%/h = 10k/h).
2026-04-27 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The fall of CLASA to the Jet Brigade has been a heavy blow to our defences in the Tanis sector but thankfully a blow that can still be fairly easily reversed if we act decisively: All Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre should deploy to YED PRIOR and liberate it in order to isolate CLASA thus putting it under siege by regular SEAF forces which will liberate the planet within a week and two hours.
Afterward liberating WEZEN in the Ymir sector would be the first step to putting MOX under siege.
2026-04-27 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After all Illuminate invasions have been repelled we should set out to finish the liberation of HYDROBIUS, followed by the liberation of RD-4 to put HESOE PRIME under siege. From that point we have the option to roll back many of the squids' advances in the outer sectors of the galaxy.
In the Automaton-theatre WEZEN is the first step towards a siege liberation of MOX and in the Terminid-theatre GRAND ERRANT should be liberated to put GEMMA under siege and clear the Farsight- and Ursa sectors.
2026-04-13 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Even though the MO is pretty much doomed, CHOEPESSA IV still has to be secured at all cost to prevent the clankers from realising their construction of a Class 1 Megafactory Evolution Plats on the planet which gives CHOEPESSA IV the single largest garrison not just in the Automaton-theatre but the galaxy as a whole save for CYBERSTAN itself. Even the entire Terminid population of their Hive World of OMICRON is weaker than the clanker garrison of CHOEPESSA IV, which can't be left unanswered.
2026-04-13 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The *501st SOARD* usually doesn't comment on the goings on in the Terminid-theatre but as a strategically minded unit we have to ask what on Super Earth lead the units there to attempt an outright defence of ACRUX IX instead of liberating GRAND ERRANT to stop the invasion in its tracks, putting GEMMA under siege and clearing out the Farsight- and Ursa sectors in the process.
In the Illuminate-theatre we advise liberating RD-4 and in the Automaton-theatre we advise the liberation of WEZEN.
2026-04-06 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Our close defeat on RIRGA BAY has put our newly liberated bridgehead on HORT in dire straights as it's now completely surrounded by Illuminate forces meaning the second the enemy launches an invasion of HORT all our supply lines to the system will be cut, dooming any defence.
To prevent this we'll have to liberate a neighbouring planet quickly which will serve as an arrival point for our supply ships in case of invasion. The best target is RD-4 because it would also put HESOE PRIME under siege.
2026-03-30 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The Cyborgs have stationed forces on MARFARK which means they'll likely launch an invasion of BEKVAM III in the Nanos sector soon. Therefore all forces in the Automaton-theatre should focus on liberating MARFARK as quickly as possible while hostile resistance is still average to disrupt the Cyborg's staging efforts and prevent any planned invasion.
In the Illuminate-theatre the Squ'ith-world of SEASSE should be liberated so as to uncover what the cult is planning and how do disrupt their plans.
2026-03-16 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
With F and FURY under siege by regular SEAF forces our next aim in the Automaton-theatre should be to push the clankers as far away from SUPER EARTH, our home, as possible. To that end VERNEN WELLS and MARFARK should be liberated, which only requires >10% of active Helldivers, to put the heavily defended Automaton planet of AESIR PASS under siege. Alternatively liberating BLISTICA and ZZANIAH PRIME would encircle the Cyborgs on MINTORIA and give as a path to ZOSMA to clear the Gellert sector.
2026-03-16 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After the current MO is done all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre should focus on liberating CHOEPESSA IV (Trigon sector) as taking it will put both K and FURY under siege by regular SEAF forces which will clear both the Trigon- and Xzar sectors and deny the enemy vital resources from these two magma planets and while some data suggests that there might be as many as three additional hitherto undiscovered magma planets, seizing the resources from K and FURY is a good first step.
2026-03-09 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Our failure to liberate ZZANIAH PRIME for over a month despite the fact it would have initiated a double siege of ZOSMA, BLISTICA and cleared the entire Gellert sector has unfortunately provided the Cyborgs with a clean bridgehead to advance into the Tanis sector which houses the Deep Mantle Force Complex.
In order to defend against this incursion we need to end the invasion of MOX quickly by liberating VEGA BAY which includes three planetary regions that give us a combined 50% bonus.
2026-03-02 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After our disgraceful defeat in the Battle of CYBERSTAN we now face a massive Automaton counterattack.
To limit the clankers' attack options we should liberate ZZANIAH PRIME quickly as its liberation would put both BLISTICA and ZOSMA under siege, thus clearing the entire Gellert sector, closing that entire front and depriving the Automatons of another possible prong they could use for their counterattacks.
Apart from that, taking CHOEPESSA IV would put both K and FURY under siege.
2026-02-16 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Last week we were regrettably unable to send a transmission with our contribution to the Freedom Alliance's newsletter for the first time since our accession due to important highly classified covert operations in support of Operation VALID PRETEXT which had to be conducted under absolute radio silence.
This week we'd like to use our limited bandwidth to commend all who assisted in seizing the two Megafactories while voicing regret over the ~40% of Helldivers deserting the Battle of CYBERSTAN.
2026-02-02 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The liberation of ADHARA will fall short by around 24h so the current MO cannot be successfully completed anymore.
Meanwhile the Automatons are advancing in the Gellert sector by invading ZOSMA.
To remove that annoying dagger from our backs all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre should redeploy to ZZANIAH PRIME as liberating it would put both BLISTICA and ZOSMA (if it has fallen by then) under siege, liberating both, clearing the Gellert sector and thus closing that entire front.
2026-01-26 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After the defence of AFOYAY BAY has been won, there are multiple worthwhile targets whose liberations by Helldiver forces would allow for siege liberations by SEAF regulars:
- YED PRIOR would put CLASA under siege, clearing the Tanis sector
- BLISTICA would put ZZANIAH PRIME under siege, clearing the Gellert sector
- VEGA BAY would put WEZEN under siege
and
- IRULTA would put ELYSIAN MEADOWS under siege, signalling the start of [*Operation Squid Grinder*](https://redd.it/1pxr3fu).
2026-01-19 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The defence of HORT has been catching up and with just ~5% of active Helldivers as reinforcements victory would be clearly achievable if all forces deploy to Clockstop (city).
With the successful defence of ZEFIA, Tanis sector the opportunity to completely clear with the Gellert- & Tanis sectors stands. Therefore all Helldivers in the Automaton-theatre should deploy to BLISTICA, Gellert sector to put ZZANIAH PRIME under siege by regular SEAF forces, thus completely clearing the Gellert sector.
2026-01-12 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
The liberation of VOG-SOJOTH gives us another chance to clear the Gellert- & Tanis sectors completely and close that entire front by liberating BLISTICA, putting ZZANIAH PRIME under siege, clearing the Gellert sector, and then liberating YED PRIOR, putting CLASA under siege, clearing the Tanis sector.
We would also like to once again draw your attention to [*Operation Squid Grinder*](https://redd.it/1pxr3fu) to retake 70% of Squid-territory which starts with liberating IRULTA, Saleria sector.
2026-01-05 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Happy New Year, citizens!
A new year of war yet Freedom's enemies march ever closer.
It's the mission of the *SEAF StratCom* is to increase the Helldivers' force‑impact efficiency through relentlessly rigorous strategic planning and resolute coordination of Helldiver forces across all theatres of war to ensure our unbridled dominance.
**All strategically‑minded Helldivers are called upon to join the [*SEAF StratCom*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers_StratCom/) to *sharpen Liberty's Edge!***
2025-12-29 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
A grand strategy, codenamed [*Operation Squid Grinder*](https://redd.it/1pxr3fu), to retake over 70% of squid territory with only >10% of active Helldivers, has been proposed in the **SEAF StratCom**.
2025-12-22 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
BOREA has been put under siege and regular SEAF forces have a stronger showing than expected. Now we have the chance to do the same to JULHEIM by taking CHARBAL‑VII with only >5% of active Helldivers.
2025-12-15 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After the end of the current MO we should liberate BOREA as quickly as possible so that we don't squander that chance to put DUMA TYR under siege and thus liberate both the Sagan- and Nanos sectors.
2025-11-17 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
During the MO, while we have MO-Diver support and there are no invasions of LESATH or MASTIA, VERNEN WELLS is our primary target, afterwards YED PRIOR is, since both would put two planets under siege.
2025-11-10 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Since we have failed to take BLISTICA in time, we've now lost CLASA to the bots. To rectify this deplorable situation liberating YED PRIOR has top priority as it'll put both other planets under siege.
2025-11-03 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We would, once again, like to urge all Helldiver forces currently wasting their time and effort on FENMIRE to redeploy to BLISTICA to finally close the entire Gellert‑/Tanis sector front. For Liberty!
2025-10-27 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We've the rare opportunity to clear four sectors: Taking BOREA will clear the Sagan- & Nanos sectors while taking BLISTICA closes the entire front in the Gellert- & Tanis sectors, which has priority.
2025-10-20 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
If we'd get >5% of Helldivers onto BLISTICA we could completely clear both the Gellert- and Tanis sectors at the price of a single liberation since it would put YED PRIOR under siege by SEAF forces.
2025-10-13 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
After the liberation of ZEA RUGOSIA all Helldivers in the Illuminate theatre should finish the liberation of SEYSHEL BEACH and then move to liberate SENGE 23 to isolate SETIA and defend SEASSE.
2025-10-06 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
Now that VOG-SOJOTH has been isolated and put under siege through the liberation of LESATH our next target should be the liberation of BLISTICA so that YED PRIOR suffers the same fate as VOG-SOJOTH.
2025-09-29 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
We applaud everyone that has followed the *SEAF StratCom*'s advice to isolate KARLIA first, to now liberate it with the support of the mass deployments of regular SEAF forces its isolation enables.
2025-09-22 by Genius Play Unique, 501st SOARD
FYI: After defending MINTORIA, BLISTICA should be the next target since it's only being lightly reinforced, while liberating it would isolate neighbouring YED PRIOR and put pressure on ZZANIAH PRIME.
2025-09-22 by genius_play_unique
The *Ministry of Intelligence* has determined the following to be the planets with the lowest reinforcement rating of their theatre:
- TERREK (Orion sector)
- ALAIRT III (Hanzo ")
- BOREA (Sagan ")
2025-09-08 by genius_play_unique
The new green recruits have arrived. Train them; especially teach them the *[2nd Galactic War Mechanics](<https://url.td/AGB0L>)* & send them feet first into (a Super) Hell(dive).
They can handle it.
2025-08-25 by genius_play_unique
:warning: Fresh green recruits are going to arrive in your units within days!
***__Please familiarise yourselves and your recruits with the [2nd Galactic War Mechanics](<https://url.td/AGB0L>)__.***
2025-08-25 by genius_play_unique
Currently CLASA in the Tanis sector is the planet with the least amount of effective enemy resistance in the clanker theater and would split off a good chunk of their territory if we would take it.
2025-08-11 by genius_play_unique
JULHEIM has been liberated but the clanker database has sadly escaped the Helldivers' grasp on CHARBAL-VII. It's important that all forces use the FREE 30 sec. Orbital Railcannon as much as possible!
2025-08-11 by genius_play_unique
FYI: Of all planets in the Automaton- and Illuminate-theaters ALAIRT III is currently the most lightly defended with only ~5k pts/h of pushback. For the Automaton-theater it's DUMA TYR with 10k pts/h.
2025-07-28 by genius_play_unique
Unfortunately Helldiver forces were unable to liberate the residential areas of CLAORELL in time to liberate the planet itself.
We applaud all Flamedivers who fight for our Deep Mantle Forge Complex.
2025-07-28 by genius_play_unique
The strategic inaptitude of the Helldiver Corps is truly mind-boggling.

2025-06-30 by genius_play_unique
By taking Shed we helped lay the groundwork for liberating Alairt III but __now that the enemy has reinforced the cities we urge all units to move to the lightly defended countryside to finish this__.
2025-06-16 by genius_play_unique
The latest data from the *Ministry of Intelligence* suggests the squids are trying to establish territory in/around the Hanzo sector. The 501st SOARD stands ready to oppose them at a moment's notice.
2025-06-09 by genius_play_unique
While the main focus of the 501st SOARD will remain on the Automaton-theater, now that the remnants of the Great Host have been found, we'll be ready to deploy to assist in its destruction as needed.
2025-06-02 by genius_play_unique
Now that victory on Super Earth has been secured and all bipedal squids expelled from its soil, the 501st SOARD has returned to regular combat duties against the Automaton forces across *our* galaxy.
2025-05-26 by genius_play_unique
While the 501st SOARD is usually firmly deployed against the clankers, as long as LibCon 1 is in effect and the squids ravage Super Earth, our home, the 501st SOARD will defend our Class A+ citizens.
