With the long awaited liberation of Troost, Phase 1 of the Automaton recycling effort has successfully been completed. The Trigon sector has been under partial Automaton occupation ever since the socialist toasters first marched in there during the early parts of the Automaton surprise attack way back in mid February. Although the Helldivers initially voiced concerns about fighting the Automatons, they have regardless shown up in force, with well over 70% of all active Helldivers now pushing the metal menace back.

Phase 2 of the operation commenced earlier today with the new objective of decommissioning the Automaton factories located on Tibit. Helldivers were quick to react and lined up on Ubanea to open up Tibit for a direct assault. However, their optimistic plans have received complications as the Automatons have initiated an assault of Draupnir. This world has seen its fair share of back and forth over the course of this Galactic War, and it seems that Draupnir will need to stave off yet another assault. Should the Helldivers fail to hold Draupnir, they jeopardize the gains they have made upon Ubanea. Now it's up to the Helldivers to decide how to best react to this precarious situation.

While a committed and focused Helldiver force could easily push the incursion from Draupnir within a few hours, there is the additional choice of ignoring Draupnir to simply burn down Ubanea before the Draupnir defence fails. This would secure the planet and allow Helldiver forces to push to Tibit early, crippling the production that is fueling the Draupnir offensive. It's risky though; if that gamble fails, the odds of our forces recovering access to Ubanea in time to take down Tibit before the Major Order expires is slim...
