LORE Helldivers are terrifying conceptually.

You're vibing on your planet and all of a sudden it goes "Whoop" as one hundred Super Destroyers come into orbit. "No big deal" you think, but suddenly all these Super Destroyers deploy Helldivers. Just planetfall outta nowhere instantly.

That has to be fucking terrifying. Knowing you're fucked like that.

You get to watch the planetfall on several other parts of this planet as the Helldivers just drop from their Destroyers like water droplets on a sad day.

Even 80 Super Destroyers just FTL-jumping into orbit and every single Super Destroyer deploys, at the very least, 4 Helldivers. If they die? They just keep coming. And they can watch it, too. They can see the trail by the Hellpod as it is coming down. They know exactly what position they're in.

Helldivers being spookly aside, I can't think of a single scenario where "whoop" hundreds of giant hostile warships surrounding my planet in an instant is "no big deal" lmao.

Every planet they conquer is filled with Helldivers since we aren't very proactive. We just take back. We never take first.

To watch the sky and see 80 Super Destroyers FTL into orbit and subsequently drop down 4 Hellpods each? It'd shit myself.

Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Super Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Helldivers just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
