“	The Automatons also appear to be utilizing the heat of these lava worlds to synthesize some sort of primordial soup: a liquid dense with amino acids, stem cells and glucose. All the ingredients for organic life.	„

Orgo-Plasma, or Organic Plasma, is a nutrient-dense plasma synthesized from organic material by the Automatons. Organic material is put through Bio-Processors which, through the use of a large blender and heat, reduce the matter down into a liquid dense with amino acids, stem cells and glucose: the ingredients for organic life.^[1]

Super Earth intel shows 100% of this organic material came from loyal Federation citizens - both military and civilian - with high potential and excellent facial symmetry. Both are perfectly sufficient reasons to disrupt the plasma production and secure samples of the liquid for further analysis by the Ministry of Science.

History

“	The Automatons are also synthesizing some sort of super-dense bio-fluid down there. As for where they get the biomass to make it: use your imagination.	„
	~ Ship Master

First spotted during Operation Lighthouse (September 2184), the first instances of Orgo-Plasma being discovered in the field were through the sightings of Automaton Bio-Processors throughout the various different planets then occupied by the Automaton Legion. However, since Helldivers would always have orders to destroy these appliances on sight, deeper analysis could not be performed beyond the reports that came back from the field of a "mysterious fluid" with visible human body parts in them.

It wouldn't be until December 2185, with the discovery of illegal Automaton mining operations pn the Magma Planets, that Orgo-Plasma would be finally recovered by the Helldivers and analyzed by the Ministry of Science. The discoveries would only help to confirm the worst assumptions: the Orgo-Plasma had been, in fact, made out of captured Super Earth Citizens, the majority of which might have almost certainly been children, according to the Ministry of Truth.^[2]

On February 10th 2186, with the arrival of the Helldivers on Cyberstan for Operation: Valid Pretext, Super Earth and Strohmann News reports would seemingly discover the horrible truth behind the Automatons' usage of the Orgo-Plasma: to use in their Megafactories to synthetically grow, and construct, new Cyborgs.^[3]

On February 21st, 2186, the Democracy Officer would reveal the reason why the Cyborgs had resorted to synthetically grow more of their own kind: during the Automaton Reclamation on April 9th, 2184, local authorities on Cyberstan activated a euthanasia protocol for the Cyborg population. While the attempted genocide failed, the effort would have another, equally devastating effect: sterilization. Without the ability to reproduce, the newly freed Cyborgs would eventually go extinct.^[4]

The Cyborgs' solution was to produce new Cyborgs by growing them in pod-like artificial wombs, artificially averting their own extinction. However, production of new Cyborgs would require a bio-synthetic process conducted in massive production units. The hydrogen-rich caverns of Cyberstan provided all the energy needed while the Automatons would gather the necessary Orgo-Plasma by grinding up the dead citizenry of the Federation.^[5]
