The 312th Shock Troop, known across the front as the “Spirits of Cyberstan,” are among Super Earth’s most feared anti-Automaton forces. The unit was formed during Phase IV of Operation Valid Pretext, when it became clear that Cyberstan itself could no longer be reclaimed. From that moment on, their mission shifted from liberation to absolute denial—destroying machine-controlled worlds before the Automaton threat could spread further.

Hardened in brutal campaigns such as Malevelon Creek and Popli IX, the 312th is built from the best Super Earth can field: SEAF elites, Legion veterans, Helldiver special-operations troops, and expert orbital fire controllers. Guided by the calculated leadership of their commander, the unit carries out methodical, escalating assaults—stealth reconnaissance, deep sabotage, direct engagement, and finally overwhelming orbital and aerial bombardment—until nothing remains but scorched glass.

Unlike conventional formations, the 312th does not operate from a single centralized command. They maintain fortified staging sites and covert operational hubs across multiple star systems—Rogue V, Calypso, Super Earth itself, Erata Prime, and Malevelon Creek. These bases function as rapid-response anchors, intelligence cells, and logistical black sites, allowing the Spirits to deploy wherever escalation becomes inevitable. Their presence in a system is rarely announced. It is usually inferred—after the fires start.

Though officially recognized as a shock formation, the 312th operates in practice as a morally ambiguous black-operations task force. They are composed of select Super Earth Legionary units, Helldivers, SEAF veterans, and even controversial elements such as Chaosdiver detachments—most notably the feared Stygian Shock Troop. This blend of conventional discipline and irregular ferocity gives the unit its edge. They are sanctioned, but seldom discussed. Authorized, but rarely acknowledged publicly.

Within the ranks, infamous squads have become legends for their uncompromising execution of doctrine. Their armor is blackened and scarred, worn proudly as proof of survival in the hottest warzones of the Automaton front. Among allies they are respected—sometimes uneasily so. Among their enemies they are a warning.

When High Command needs a world erased, when containment has failed and optics no longer matter, the call goes to the 312th Shock Troop—the Spirits of Cyberstan.
