High Command now enters a "strategic contraction phase"

Helldivers 2 players have failed to spread democracy and keep the peace (via lethal force) on Cyberstan, the home of the new Cyborg sub faction that recently reared its head in the game. Super Earth is now warning that divers should prepare for a counter attack from the joint Cyborg and Automaton forces. So, better luck next time, divers.

"The liberation of Cyberstan has failed," a transmission from High Command, posted to social media, reads. "The underhanded, subhuman treachery of the Cyborgs returned to once again steal peace from Super Earth's citizens. The threat of a socialist planet-killer remains active. This is a grotesque travesty of Justice."

High Command is at least celebrating the fact that the thousands of grunts squashed during the operation didn't die in vain. "The audacious and tireless Helldiver offensive forced the monstrous Cyborgs out of the shadows," it says. "Their tyrannical bastion was penetrated, and their megafactories were razed to the ground. In doing so, we have grievously wounded Cyberstan—a proven font of Tyranny—and reduced their industrial capacity to ash. If the Cyborgs insist on rejecting peace under Managed Democracy, they shall inherit only a burning wasteland."
