From the Citizen's Guide to Patriotism: Celebration of the Super Earth Federation flag should be paramount during one's service and life. You must not allow the flag to be desecrated, dirtied or torn during service. It is your right and duty to report all who disrespect the flag and question the Federation's beliefs: democracy, freedom and liberty.

While a Helldiver's main duty lies in fighting the enemies of humanity on all fronts and at all costs, every Helldiver is also a Citizen of Super Earth or its developed worlds. It is, therefore, in each Helldiver's interest to learn about the basics of Federation history (if you were not instructed on them during primary education and/or by parents or family) and the enemies that threaten you and your loved ones.

This manual is separated in three Sections.

• Section 1 is an actively updated look at the ongoing and past conflicts of the Helldiver Corp,
  
• Section 2 covers the basics of Federation history and the Helldiver Corp,
  
• Section 3 provides an overview of the enemies you will combat, their tactics and some useful information.

The Super Earth Federation was founded before 2040 and has since remained the only bastion of democracy, liberty and freedom in the galaxy, maintained by the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Truth. The Federation's expanse reaches past the Solar System well into the depths of nearby space, where the will of the Citizens is ensured by the great system of Managed Democracy. Citizens' votes are based on a questionnaire posed to them, and their vote is cast automatically based on the answers the provide, removing doubt, uncertainty and lack of clarity in the electoral and decision-making process.

The Citizen's ideal life is based on service to their community, and such service results in Citizen Point accumulation and other benefits. At 16, each Citizen receives a gift from the Federation: an M2016 Constitution bolt-action rifle to begin the child's military career and teach them about the tools that keep us free. Education in science, technology or medicine are key to the advancement and progress of humankind, and promise careers on exotic, alien planets. Colonial expansion is, however, available to every Citizen that wishes to visit those planets and spread the glory of democracy. Please visit your nearest Democracy Officer for information on colonial missions.

If you wish to remain on Super Earth, or visit the center of the Federation, you will be amazed by the grand and utopian cities that dot the planet, which offer work in all kinds of fields from industry, manufacturing and custodial work, to police duty, politics and military service. The great landmarks of our history are preserved and free to visit (please ensure your Citizen Point count is high enough to afford a visit to one of Super Earth's monuments) and each city is maintained, kept clean and safe.

On the matter of safety, the security of our great government is maintained by the Super Earth Armed Forces, and by you, the Citizen of Super Earth. It is up to you to report unpatriotic and treasonous behavior, and help uphold the torch of liberty.

The Helldivers are the most elite and revered military corp in human history, and serving in these specialized units is the highest honor a Citizen can aspire to. Helldivers are drafted from the Armed Forces' ranks, and are the most exceptional, dutiful soldiers the Federation can deploy.

The first deployment of Helldivers was at Northman's Creek, a planet that had attempted to secede from the Federation. Following the inability for a full scale military campaign against the socialist government, the SEAF deployed a new technology, the Hellpods, and a detachment of Helldivers breached the parliament building and quelled the secession attempt by force, ensuring the planet's loyalty to the true values of democracy.

Since the start of the Galactic War in 2044, these elite units have been deployed behind enemy lines on all fronts, eliminating the need for typical military campaigns and allowing the Federation to strike deep into enemy territory. Each Helldiver is provided with:

• an AR-23 Liberator assault rifle,
  
• a P-2 Peacemaker pistol,
  
• a G-12 High Explosive grenade pack,
  
• an iconic B-01 Tactical armor set, including cape.

The Terminids are a sentient insectoid species originating from the desert planet Kepler Prime, known for swarm tactics and acid-based attacks. These bugs can range from small specimens the size of an Earth dog known as Scavengers and Spewers, to Bile Titans, enormous four-legged threats that must be taken down with overwhelming explosive firepower.

Despite their danger, Terminids provide a valuable resource: oil. A Terminid's body, during decomposition, expels large amounts of oil. This has proven helpful in fueling smaller colonies and for manufacture, and as such, Terminid farms are scattered all across the human frontier, even on Kepler Prime. Even so, a Helldiver should not hesitate nor consider this attribute when in combat: the oil seeps naturally into the soil and is then extracted by specified E710 pumps.

Of note when regarding Terminids is the Terminid Control System project currently planned for construction. This System consists of a series of planets to be fitted with atmospheric gas dispensers that perpetually spread chemicals harmful to Terminids on the planet's surface. Establishing these gas dispensers across a belt of planets will ensure that this threat is contained beyond it, and that Terminids cannot reach Super Earth.

Originating from the perennially iced planet of Cyberstan, Automatons are a socialist dystopian civilization of augmented humans and sentient machines. In combat, Automatons prove challenging to confront given their advanced military strategy and tactics and their high volume of fire. Helldivers should prepare for armored targets and use cover, smoke and shielding to minimize casualties. Deployment of SAM sites is suggested to ensure air superiority, and usage of guerrilla tactics may result in success in Automaton-controlled territory.

The Automatons consistently threaten the peace and prosperity of Federation worlds with constant terrorist attacks against innocent Citizens. Furthermore, they upkeep propaganda broadcasts that can reach human settlements near Automaton territory. Contrary to Terminids, Automatons offer no benefit to their existence aside from the large scale forges and factories that may be captured and used by the Super Earth Construction Company. Capture is, however, secondary to destruction, and Automatons should be destroyed with full prejudice.

Interactions or attempts to communicate with the enemy are punishable by termination.
