This page lists down all the enemies of Super Earth from each faction for a Helldiver to get to know them.

Terminids

The Terminids are fast-producing, oversized bugs that quickly spread across multiple sectors of the galaxy. They have proven to be quite a pest for Super Earth to control. After spending almost a century on the Element-710 farms, and with Super Earth's genetic tampering to make them produce more, the Terminids have mutated into horrifying beasts, much more ravenous than the Bugs encountered in the First Galactic War. The Gloom has also caused some to mutate even further into titanic, living hells.

Automatons

The Automatons, the descendants of the Cyborg Secessionists, are ruthless and cold killing machines that revel in the death of peaceful Super Earth citizens and Helldivers alike.

They reside on a planet called Cyberstan of the Valdis Sector, buried deep in a solar system controlled entirely by the Automaton Legion.

Thought to be wiped out after being exiled in 2084, the Illuminate have made an unexpected and ruthless return a century later, abducting Super Earth's citizens and turning them into Voteless to use as cannon fodder, forcing Helldivers to kill their demented comrades.
