Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Super Earth Armed Forces!

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the galaxy are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the Terminid hives, the elimination of Fascist tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the Outer Rim, and security for ourselves in a free galaxy.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is vicious, numerous and fearless. They will fight savagely.

But this is the year 2184! Much has happened since the Fascist triumphs of 2183. The Helldivers have inflicted upon the Terminids great defeats, in open battle, man-to-bug. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the galaxy are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
