A thought just occurred to me, if the illuminate were able to so easily corrupt and mutate the minds of loyal super earth citizens imagine what they could do to the empty headed terminids.

[@homelessman6662]

They’re not really empty headed. They’re more of a hive mind, and my personal headcannon is that we just sent highly aggressive and mutated terminids straight to the illuminated front porch, and lord help us all if they decide to fuck around with the bile titans

[@bignick2k215]

The bugs are a hivemind, so I think I they’d have to corrupt hive lords to corrupt them. Idk though, but I love speculating.

[@bushuckwald]

So basically it hasn't gotten bigger but the accretion disk is getting more energized. This is most likely due to it pulling in the gloom, ripping the spore matter to shreds, and energizing it on its way into the event horizon. This is extremely common for singularities of this size and they're called quasars. The only thing to worry about is if it gets so energized that it might blow out gasses from our galaxy and end up ushering in a dark age in terms of stars. But there's absolutely nothing to worry about, please focus on the war fellow helldivers.

[@Flint_YT]

hey, that seems like a good idea. just make a wall of black holes to corral the gloom!

[@aliyousefi-vm6fw]

Correct Me if I'm wrong but aren't quasars only in the centre of galaxies?

[@spoton6010]

​​@@aliyousefi-vm6fw Generally, yes. 'Quasar' (quasi-stellar, meaning 'star-like) refers to the accretion disc being so luminous that it outshines or nearly outshines its entire host galaxy and appears to just be a star within the Milky Way. Stellar mass black hole accretion discs can also be very luminous but not to even remotely the same degree

[@bushuckwald]

@@aliyousefi-vm6fw They're not only found in centers of galaxies, but that is the most common place to find them in distant/past galaxies. Before the supermassive black holes became supermassive they start like that, and end up growing so large that galaxies will start flowing around them with the help of dark matter (real dark matter not fiction-type dark matter). But there's nothing, besides mere probability, for quasars to form anywhere else in these matter collections we call galaxies.

Yeah. And to those who have not noticed the pattern yet. Every time the Illuminate attack a new planet. It is getting closer to that black hole's sector. They are heading there. Draining our resources along the way. The Illuminate do not have only 3 units and zombified humans. The faction does not consist of only the overseers, elevated overseers and the harvesters. Once they reach that black hole. We are in deep trouble. The whole faction is about to come through and it will not be such a cakewalk when we are dealing with more than their scouting units.

[@jonathanvo7271]

I'm starting to think the Illuminate scout fleets we've been facing aren't scouts anymore. With the blackhole/wormhole growing, and the terminids being beaten back, the scouts could be acting as a diversion while their main force goes through the hole. Or we may see a large fleet come out of it to distract us, while the other sectors are establised as Illuminate bases. Either ways could happen as its been very easy to resist their small invasions. Would not be surprised if we face them on two fronts.
