“The DSS will be a powerful strategic tool for reshaping the Galactic Map — democratically directed by the Helldivers themselves,” Arrowhead previously announced.
While the Democracy Space Station initally offered planetary bombardments, Helldivers can now fund the space station for tactical actions and vote where it should be located.

THE EAGLE STORM – funded by Science Samples (green)
DSS crews maintain deployment of a 24-hour rotating fleet of Eagle Fighters from the massive three-tiered Convocation Bay, supporting all Helldiver operations on the planet with close air support and halting enemy offensives for a short time.
Deploys periodic Eagle Airstrikes during missions. Slows enemy progress in Defense Campaigns.

New Major Order
In addition to the Democracy Space Station now being available, a new Major Order has been announced by Super Earth high command:
MAJOR ORDER: After having stemmed the worst of the Terminid tide emanating from the gloom, clean up procedures are now on-going and the numerous planets saved from the fascist bugs all celebrate the bravery of our Helldivers. And while the Helldivers were fighting, Ministry of Defense engineers have completed their repairs of the DSS, as well as implemented a number of operational adjustments. Expectations are that the Helldivers will utilize the power of the newly-repaired DSS to repel the Illuminate assaults on Freedom that have continued unabated. The tide was turned versus the bugs, now it’s time to do the same against the illuminate.
