Research District
Campaign: Magnetar
Introduction
Mazon’s operations on Magnetar had remained largely a secret until Containment Protocols came into effect and all hell broke loose. It’s not clear whether the ‘test subjects’ from Mazon’s labs escaped or were unleashed so scientists could collect more data but, no matter the cause, the resulting carnage has been undisputable within the Research District.
With the city now in chaos, the opportunity to get inside a Mazon facility is too tempting for some. The Rebs are desperate to expose the lies behind Mazon’s glitzy promotional holocasts, while the Asterians are keen to find out just how much Mazon scientists know about the origins of the Plague.
Unfortunately for anyone entering the facilities in this district, they’re likely to find hidden horrors driven mad by Mazon’s invasive experiments and keen for bloody revenge!

Campaign Brief
SPECIAL RULE: ESCAPED TEST SUBJECTS
Deep within the various Mazon compounds in this district are horrors beyond compare and they don’t take kindly to being disturbed.
At the end of each Round Plague Victims will potentially swarm onto the board and start attacking either Strike Team.
First roll a D8:
On a result of 1-4 no Plague Victims are spawned.
On a result of 5-8, two Plague Victims are spawned.
Place any spawned Plague Victims using the normal rules for placing Items (note: if the Plague Victims would be placed in a cube with a model, roll again).
In the following Round, any NPC Plague Victims are activated before the Strike Teams using the following rules:
- If the Plague Victim is already in a cube with a Strike Team model it will initiate an Assault action. If there is more than one opposing model in the cube, randomise the target by rolling a die.
- If the Plague Victim is within three cubes of a Strike Team model, it will move into the closest cube with a model (using the shortest route possible) and initiate an Assault action. If more than one Strike Team model is equidistant, randomise the target by rolling a dice.
- If the Plague Victim is more than three cubes from the nearest Strike Team model, it may only make an Advance action, moving two cubes towards the closest Strike Team model. If more than one Strike Team model is equidistant, randomise the target by rolling a dice.
Plague Victims use the Plague Victim stats (found on page 74 of the Force Lists book), but no longer have the Rampage keyword.
When rolling for the Plague Victim’s attacks, the inactive player should roll on their behalf. A Plague Victim will always fight back if they’re the target of an Assault action.
If you kill a Plague Victim, you are immediately award 1VP.
