Dead Sector

What is Dead Sector?

DEAD SECTOR is a tactical miniature combat game focused on a dark and claustrophobic sci-fi setting. Each player will choose one of the 6 factions, understand how it works, and, using a limited number of points, build a miniature "deck". Each faction has its own unique ability, and each miniature possesses individual characteristics and abilities that make them unique. The way each player builds their squad will define how the match unfolds.

The game takes place in the "The Prison" setting, a colossal asteroid located in a remote corner of the galaxy. Situated in an asteroid field with vast resources such as light, water, and minerals, the region has the resources to sustain the prison autonomously for millennia. As in any new world, the initial idea was for the prisoners to become colonists of a space mining outpost; however, after a succession of errors and centuries of uncontrolled expansion, the prison gradually became a mega-structure. Without the resources to maintain security across the entire complex, sectors of the asteroid were sold, taken by force, or even secretly used by various interstellar federations to conduct secret experiments. Over the centuries, the internal structures and the mega-city expanded into so many sectors that not even the residents themselves knew all the routes or exits. Then the inevitable happened: the mega-structure suffered a total collapse, turning into an impossible-to-map vertical labyrinth formed by crashed ships, rusted cities, and countless military secrets.

In the power vacuum generated by the prison's fall, six unique and heavily asymmetrical factions emerged and fight for control of the prison. Players can command the desperate military forces of the Human Federation, which maintains control of the only functioning space port; the technological horror of the Silicon-Flesh Cult; the beasts of the Genetic Pack; the insects of the Voracious Swarm; the digital minds of the Synchronized Choir; or the dimensional mages of the A.D.M.

Core Mechanics:

• Grid-Based Tactical Combat: Matches are played on a grid board, requiring rigorous spatial planning, meticulous line-of-sight control, positioning, and the smart use of physical cover on the map.
• Squad Building: Players build their customized teams using a limited number of points, allowing them to balance hordes of cheap basic units against squads formed by a few elite models.
• Units with unique abilities that fit the context of each faction.
• Limited Action Points (AP) and Dynamism: The system adopts alternating activation between players, where each miniature has 3 Action Points (AP) to spend freely and dynamically between moving, shooting, entering Overwatch, or using special abilities.
• Quick Resolution and Focus on Positioning: Combat is fast and simple. It dispenses with an excess of dice and complex damage tables. It uses a hit formula based on the sum of the highest dice result (d6) with the unit's attribute and attack modifiers against the target's Defense, rewarding tactics such as backstabs and flanking.
