Helldivers 2 takes a big swing in its Galactic War by letting players choose the home of a "Democracy Space Station" which "could change the course of the war"

Helldivers 2.

The dust is beginning to settle following Helldivers 2's big round of buffs, and it seems developer Arrowhead has gotten comfortable enough to throw a curveball into the Galactic War. The latest Helldivers 2 Major Order challenges players to choose and secure a site for the construction of the dramatically named "Democracy Space Station," and it sounds like a big deal. 

The forthcoming "orbital station" is described as a "'leap forward' for galactic liberation" in a campy news segment released alongside word of the Major Order. "The DSS will be a powerful strategic tool for reshaping the Galactic Map – democratically directed by the Helldivers themselves," the announcement reads. What's more, "the DSS could change the course of the war." The Helldivers 2 Reddit community has reacted with characteristic level-headedness. There's also fair speculation that this will all actually lead to the clan base seemingly teased in a previous order that mentioned a similar-sounding battle station.
