While the outlines of Helldivers 2's Galactic War are fairly clear, and the major orders give players a through-line to follow in the unfolding narrative, much of the game's world-building is left to hints and lore snippets that players piece-together themselves. Some of this is quite serious and consequential stuff, such as whether the Automatons may be trying to communicate, or the Illuminate are behind Super Earth in the first place.
Other elements of the world… well, let's just cut to the chase. Pretty much every hero of liberty has the hots for the unknown female pilot of Eagle-1, no doubt helped by the fact that she delivers 500KG payloads to any xeno-infested planetary surface on demand. This gets a little too in-depth at times, such as a line of text about expanded weapons bays in the cockpit leading to theorising over whether she was an amputee (officially it's a no), or the constant shipping of the Eagle-1 and Pelican-1 pilots, and yes there's plenty of horny art.
