Synopsis[]
Star Eaters is EDF 4.1's 89th mission. For those in singleplayer (and not counting DLCs), it is the final mission of the game. In the mission, you are pitted against a Ravager army of near-unimaginable proportions. There are 3 sets of Earth Eaters which will descend in a wave-style attack. This is also the first mission in which new, previously unseen variants of the Earth Eaters are seen. Flight Vehicles will descend from the transport hatches. This is 1 of the 2 missions where the Brain can be shot down; the other being Starry Prison.
Roughly halfway through the level, it is mentioned that a Mothership was approaching the area. However, it cannot be visibly seen, only mentioned through ingame dialogue and is shot down by the EDF's Satellite before it can reach ground level; It is also stated that the Nothung satellite blaster is destroyed, but this does not affect the availability of it's strikes.
Strategy[]
Prioritize the Earth Eaters as the Brain is unable to attack on it's own; Due to the lack of enemies on the ground, It is imperative that you bring long-range weapons like Sniper Rifles or Missiles; Watch the sky for incoming Flight Vehicles. The new waves of Earth Eaters will only descend upon a damage threshold for the Brain being crossed. The third wave is extremely powerful and will easily wipe the floor with you simply due to the sheer amount of explosions that it generates. If possible, avoid the larger cannon modules or blow them out of the sky before they get the chance to start ground bombardment since the 3rd wave does not have a specific point upon which it needs to be damaged.
