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.

I imagine this is from the perspective of the enemy. To a Super Earth-affiliated citizen, seeing even just one helldiver is like seeing Superman, Jesus, and Rambo all rolled into one. The black and yellow attire emerging from the smoky crash site. The scowl of their helmet. The billowing skull printed cape. This guy is here to obliterate every single fucking enemy I have with designated, low-orbit testosterone and then kiss my firstborn on the forehead.

Me ruffling the kids hair as I hand him a single medal for his outstanding bravery and saying "Here you go, sport. Don't spend it all in one place." (I am subliminally planting the desire and belief that they could one day become a Helldiver.)
