Helldivers, Starfinder 1e One-Shot

This is a series of assets for running a Helldivers themed Starfinder 1st Edition game, I made it for my group but figured there might be others interested.

It consists of 3 missions, pitting the players against Terminids and Automatons.

I tried to make things interesting for the mix and amount of objectives.

Included is a text document with every objective type, and translating the method of completing them into TTRPG rules.

Also included is several text documents with handmade entries for the weapons, armour, and stratagems, or at least most of them, I didn't bother adding some of the primary and secondary weapons.

[Update, May 28th 2025]: Added some additional info to the Rules document, tweaked some of the prices for extra gear and stratagems, and added a homebrew heavy support weapon, the "M-91 Mini Gatling" as a personal minigun, something I've always wished they would add to the games as a heavy support.

[Update, June 11th 2025]: Rebalanced the costs of some stratagems, prices for vehicles were far too high compared to what the players can earn per mission, should feel more fair now.

[Update, June 13th 2025]:  Realized there was a typo in the Gatling Sentry entry under Stratagems where the cooldown was listed as 90 minutes instead of 9. Also realized that there were one or more things that didn't make sense to those who hadn't played the video game series before, namely how ammo, grenades, and stims were given for free every time a player drops down. Decided to make heavy armour a free option, since it comes with its own balance points, and still requires proficiency unless you want penalties while wearing it.

[Update, June 14th 2025]: Noticed a few more typos, and forgot to include a fly speed for guard dog drones, as well as both how they normally behave and how a Mechanic can control them.

[Update, July 10th 2025]: Added a few new items in the form of two stratagems and a booster, based on the new items they announced for the game recently. Additionally, added an over-charge mechanic for the new support weapon and added it to the Railgun as well, since it's a function it has in game.

[Update, May 19th 2026]: Added a small list of custom feats, tweaked how a few items behaved, added  the Breaktrhough shield mech.

[Update, May 27th 2026]: Realized there was an oversight with the cooldowns and limited use stratagems, has been resolved and changed to better match the games and the intended feel of the setting. Also tweaked the laser sentry after realizing it should match the laser cannon for damage and penetration. 

[Update, June 30th 2026]: Added some more Stratagems and a primary weapon in the Additional Equipment documents, and a tweak here or there to some stratagem stats.
