Fellow Helldrivers 2 players, I think Super Earth might be fibbing about the Illuminate
Briefly

The Illuminate showed up immediately after the conclusion of The Game Awards in a surprise drop, and Helldivers headed to the planet of Calypso to fight them.
A small cell? Well, that sounds reassuring. The Illuminate disappeared for a full day after Operation Ancient Vengeance on Calypso, and Helldivers got a sign of relief.
Super Earth sent a little status update that claims the resurgent Illuminate have been repelled by the Helldivers, claiming order has been restored on Calypso.
It is unknown how they eluded detection for the previous century; however, their ability to do so is indicative of the limited size of the cell.
