The path to Helldivers 2's shiny new Democracy Space Station is even longer than expected, and if anything this beast may be even more important than it once seemed. With a staging ground successfully selected and defended – Gaellivare, named after the hometown of creative director Johan Pilestedt – the latest Major Order has kicked off the first of four "construction phases" leading up to the grand opening of the DSS. Clear them all and we'll apparently have ourselves a "gigastructure" that dwarfs even the iconic Super Destroyer battleships.
"Once complete, the DSS will be a new strategic-level weapon," a new High Command dispatch reads. "It will wield powerful, Helldiver-directed weaponry to aid in the liberation of its orbited planet. Through a cutting-edge voting system, the Helldivers will determine where to deploy the DSS, and when to use its capabilities."
