Wake up, anyone who thought Hellraiser 2 was going to be great with galactic warfare! A new major order has just been released, and it looks like it could lead to Super Earth getting “a powerful interstellar battle station” in the future.
Aside from that nice experience of saving children and climbing trees, the super-Earth has been pretty quiet on the war front ever since the Meridia black hole showed up. However, things seem to be happening, with recent talk of needing Arrowhead to spice things up.

“Planet X-45 houses an advanced weapons laboratory destroyed in the First Galactic War, and due to high radiation levels across the planet, the laboratory was buried beneath the rubble and abandoned,” the latest MO reads. “The laboratory was developing a powerful interstellar battle station. Now, with radiation levels reduced to completely safe levels, work can begin on excavating and restoring the laboratory, which will allow this battle station to finally be built.”
Of course, this being Hellstalkers, hostile forces in the universe aren’t going to let you dig into your lab in peace. “However, the Automata have become aware of X-45’s importance, possibly through a malicious and deceptive cyberattack,” Command announced, “and they have launched an opportunistic attack to knock out our cut-off forces in the Ymir sector.”
“The X-45 must be detained until the blueprints for the battle station are recovered,” it concluded. “If they fall into the automaton’s actuators, the consequences could be catastrophic.”
As you can imagine, this fun little gadget’s success in stemming the tide and saving the aptly named X-45 has sent players into a frenzy, with around 20,000 flocking to the planet. And, in a rather impressive multi-mission, they’ve also managed to simultaneously guess what this battle station will look like in practice.
“I’d put my money on some kind of social hub or tribe station,” one wrote, “maybe a strategic and tactical testing ground. Maybe it’s related to special purpose strategy?” Just to give everyone a sense of both sides of the coin, another netizen suggested: “I have a feeling it’s just a legend and we will never see it in the game, but get a firm handshake and a pat on the shoulder.”
If a super-Earth were to make it possible for such a station to be built, what features or appearance would you like it to have? Let us know below!
