Space stations are rad as hell, and now one of these outposts of the final frontier is becoming Helldivers 2's latest frontier in audacious, community-driven storytelling.
The game's new major order sees players engaging in the first of a four-part sequence to build the Democracy Space Station. Once built, the community will get to vote on where and how the Democratic Death Star will be deployed.
Maybe the coolest part of the whole deal is that you can actually see the under construction DSS in-game orbiting the planet of Gaellivare.
Presumably it will change and grow as players complete the major orders involved in its construction, an exciting development in Helldivers 2's unique brand of collaborative storytelling.
It's one thing to get those fun lore updates on what Major Orders are accomplishing, quite another to see this striking, quantifiable change in the game.
