Welcome to a Grim Galaxy
The once flourishing empire of Domineum is no more. Great leaders and mighty fleets have lost their
humanity, distorted until they became mindless puppets of one entity more ancient than the universe. We saw
the signs. We heard the whispers. We trusted the Novarchs. And it all led to the apocalypse of our civilization:
the Voidfall.

For centuries, the Novarchs, descendants of the royal House of Novarchon, have ruled with an iron
fist over the feudalistic galactic empire of humankind, the Domineum. During this time, they brought
stunning technological innovation and scientific advancements to their domain. This accelerated
progression helped the Domineum reach—and eventually inhabit—even the farthest segments of the
known galaxy, where new Houses emerged to govern the outer sectors of the empire. As the House of
Novarchon grew in power, so did the religious cult that surrounded them, proclaiming grim prophecies
about an ancient cosmic being from another dimension: the Voidborn.

Many thought it to be only a myth, but in truth, it was the Voidborn’s dark influence that granted
the Novarchs the sheer knowledge to achieve rapid expansion for the empire. While the cult of the
Novarchs envisioned eternal life through the otherworldly entity, the Voidborn’s only intention
was satiating its eternal hunger. And so, when the Domineum had achieved a vastness fitting the
Voidborn’s craving, interdimensional rifts opened at its heart to unleash cosmic corruption. As the
House of Novarchon and its followers welcomed the Voidborn and sought their false salvation, the
entity infected and spread and seized control over the inner worlds. Now, it is time for the remaining
Great Houses to purge the galactic corruption, prevent the Voidborn from fully manifesting in our
dimension, and to ultimately overcome the chaos as the new rulers of the Domineum…

A Menace from Beyond
The Voidborn is an ancient cosmic being that exists in the endless void between the dimensions. It
has the ability to cast its mind through the entire universe, operating as a single consciousness with
separate parts able to act autonomously as long as they are still connected to the greater body. The
scattered elements of the Voidborn manifest as a formless parasitic matter that moves from organism to
organism, grows, and spreads. It starts with small, microscopic lifeforms but grows exponentially until
it encompasses and consumes entire planets.

Since the birth of the universe, the Voidborn has devoured countless civilizations and galactic
empires, absorbing all their knowledge. When the parasitic projection of its consciousness finds a new
intelligent species, the Voidborn plants itself in their minds. Then it starts to influence and boost their
evolution by transmitting knowledge to their subconscious as inspiration and ideas, only to help them
expand to a size suitable to the entity’s hunger. As soon as the infected civilization reaches the desired
size, the Voidborn emerges from the deep void to reap what it has sown.

Corruption
The Corruption is the in-game
representation of the spread of the
Voidborn’s influence, now attempting to
infect your people, your House, and the
rest of the galaxy. Its presence is constantly
felt in every sector not already under your
control at the start of the game. You can
take it upon yourself to rid your sectors
of this unwanted intrusion, but if you do,
the Voidborn’s will and whispers will find
their way amongst your House’s paths of
power: if it gets onto your House mat, it
will limit your ability to set Agendas or to
reap the benefits of increasing your House’s
quality of existence. Additionally, the more
your House is corrupted, the stronger the
Voidborn’s forces will be against you during
its Skirmishes. If however, you let it fester
in the sectors your House controls, it will
poison everything it touches, also limiting
your ability to increase your population.
Finally, you can try and eradicate its
influence both from your sectors and from
your House, but as you can imagine that’s
no easy task…

An Empire in Decay
Centuries ago in a distant part of the universe, the Voidborn found a planet with a nascent human
civilization and planted itself in the minds of its greatest leaders, thinkers, and scientists who later
formed the royal House of Novarchon. Through the parasites connected to their subconscious, they
were inspired and gained knowledge which helped them start a greatly escalated period of intensive
scientific and technological advancements, all guided by the insidious will of the Voidborn.

The civilization thrived and expanded into the stars, forming the interplanetary empire called the
Domineum. Induced by the Voidborn, new technologies came to life that allowed the fledgling empire
to manipulate the conditions necessary for life within the new systems they explored. For the following
centuries, the Domineum continued to expand at a greater rate, stretching into more remote systems
and eventually inhabiting the entire galaxy. While the Domineum prospered and advanced, the
Voidborn waited and whispered into the minds of the Novarchs. When the empire had grown to a size
suitable to the Voidborn’s hunger, it tore a hole in the fabric of reality, opening rifts to the Domineum’s
dimension. This defining event is simply referred to as the Voidfall.

With the Voidborn's arrival, its corruption intensified and manifested in an organic infestation spread
across those whose minds were infected. It didn’t only alter and take control over their body, but also
spread and manipulated whatever energy source it could find: machines, buildings, spaceships. The
core of the empire became fatally contaminated and the corrupted forces of House Novarchon, now
controlled by the Voidborn, turned against the rest of the Domineum.

5
 Sectors and Scope
At the center of the game is the map of the galaxy, representing
a large part of the Domineum. It is divided into sectors that are
considered separated by the mind-boggling distances of deep space
between them. Thanks to the knowledge granted by the Voidborn,
the faster-than-light drives the Houses now possess are capable of
plotting jumps to nearby sectors.

Each sector represents a coherent star system, full of inhabited and industrialized planets with millions
to billions of human souls, the majority of whom are now under the corrupting control of the
Voidborn. The primary measure of a sector’s value is its Population: a more densely populated system is
able to produce more, and is often worth more to conquer. Some special sectors have fixed Population
values (representing specific worlds with unique properties) that cannot be modified during the game;
others are uninhabited sectors with no discernible Population at all.

Some sectors on the map are separated by Voidstorms, representing extradimensional navigation
hazards created when the Voidborn opened the rifts. These tokens block adjacency, forcing you to take
a roundabout way getting to some sectors.

Beyond its scale of representing massive distances in space, a game of Voidfall also tackles a mighty
scope in time: each play is split into three Cycles, each representing several decades of events. Each
turn you must select a Focus card, a high level order that sets the course of your civilization for years to
come. Improving a sector represents the work of millions and the fruits of their labor. One invasion is
actually a drawn out war of many months, where the stronger and better prepared eventually prevails,
despite fleeting heroics of the individual.

Infrastructures and Production

Voidfall is a game of empire building and management, where the infrastructures and investments
of your House are represented by Installations and Guilds. Guilds represent planetary industries
producing the key supplies and research required for human expansion, and will impact your
production. Installations have military purposes and therefore represent defense systems, shipyards,
and weapon installations which will allow you to create and deploy fleets or defend your sectors.

Supplies, assets, wealth, and other means in the Domineum are collectively represented by the five
resources of the game: Food, Materials, Energy, Science, and Credits. All five resources are generated
by your production values, which are based on the types of your Guilds and the value of the
Population in your sectors. On top of the resources, you’ll collect Influence, which is a measure of your
House’s success. The player with the most Influence will be victorious at the end of the game.

6
 Fleets and Fleet Power
Besides the Guilds and Installations, the other vital elements on the map are the Fleets, consisting of a
Fleet type and Fleet Power. Fleet type indicates the class of ships in the fleet and Fleet Power represents
command capacity and a logistical maximum of ships you are able to direct at any given point. If you
gain more Fleet Power, that represents an increase in your maximum global command capabilities.
A Fleet Power indicates the capability of dozens to hundreds of similar ships, while a whole fleet
potentially represents multitudes of them. It helps to understand and remember several rules if you
understand that a Fleet Power doesn’t mean actual ship "hardware," but your ability to command fleets
on a galactic scale. Gaining access to more ships over the years is always possible given the resources of
a galactic civilization, but the ability to command thousands of ships effectively across light-years isn’t.
This concept explains why Fleet Power destroyed in battle returns to your active pool on your House
mat, and why you have a hard limit of Fleet Power during the game.

The most common fleet type in the Domineum is the Corvette which can be upgraded with certain
technologies. Other higher class Fleets you will encounter are the Sentries (best for defense), Destroyers
(best for offense), Dreadnoughts (a multi-use Fleet type), and Carriers (acting as mobile shipyards).

Politics and Commerce

In Voidfall, the political and commercial aspects of a human galactic civilization manifest in the
form of Agenda cards and Trade tokens. Agendas represent the political reality of the galactic theater,
allowing Houses to select their own ways and conditions of acquiring Influence. Trade tokens represent
trade routes and other economic connections that Houses form with civilians throughout the galaxy.
The more Agendas you’ve set, the more bureaucratic oversight you have, and the more Trade tokens
you can have in play simultaneously. Each Trade token can be used to offset the logistical burden of
enforcing (scoring) your Agendas, or expended to gain access to additional actions.

7
Science and
Technology
Before the extradimensional corruption poisoned the seeds of
the Domineum, the overall technology level was simple and
unwieldy. Since the Voidborn’s purpose was to increase the size
of the infected civilization as fast as possible, it planted ideas
and knowledge in the minds of the Novarchs that, ultimately,
supported only its craving. Interplanetary travel and advanced
spaceships as well as colonization and industrialization became the
pioneering technologies, while everything else that wasn’t necessary
for the parasite’s growth developed much more slowly or not at all.
This unbalanced evolution of technology resulted in a functional
low-tech approach with only a few high-tech solutions.

All Houses are specialized in 2 of the 28 unique Technologies and

start with one at the beginning of the game (as shown on their
Origin card). You can have a total of 5 during the game, one for
each slot atop your House mat. Some technologies can also be
improved once your Civilization is advanced enough, provided the
spark for such a breakthrough is available…

Houses of Domineum
The old Domineum used to be a feudal, aristocratic system with the Supreme Novarch at the
head of power. The Supreme Novarch was always a member of the royal House of Novarchon,
who were the descendants of the founders of the Domineum, the Novarchs.

In time, the Domineum started to expand, and new Houses arose to explore distant parts of
the galaxy and take control over them on behalf of the Supreme Novarch. After the newly
formed Great Houses managed to adapt their way of life to the extraordinary circumstances
of these remote worlds, they gained the right to govern their own domains. They developed
their own cultures, their own economies, even their own military forces, all while obeying the
fundamental laws of the Domineum set by the Supreme Novarch.

While House Novarchon remained at the core of the empire as the inner circle of political and
religious power, the Great Houses became the pioneers of the outer worlds. For this reason,
the Great Houses became quite different in many aspects from each other. Every citizen of the
Domineum is human, but due to the Great Houses’ different directions of da evelopment,
many people in the outer sectors live with mutations, augmentations, implants, or other effects
of evolution.

When the Voidborn arrived at the Domineum, House Novarchon, along with their many
followers from the inner worlds, accepted the false promise echoing in their minds and
embraced the manifesting corruption. The Novarchs, leaders of a once glorious empire became
the Harbingers of the Voidborn and laid waste on their own creations while leading their
corrupted forces into a war with the Great Houses.

Each player plays as one of the Great Houses in the outer rim of the Domineum that remained
free of the Voidborn’s corruption. The Great Houses' divergent evolution is represented by
their unique House mat with the three Civilization tracks and a unique ability, and their
Origin card which determine their starting forces, resources, technology, and many more
minor asymmetries.

Other Houses will appear in the game, known as Fallen Houses, who attempted to break free
of the Voidborn’s control, but weren’t strong enough and are still struggling under its influence.
They still have something to contribute to the fight—if you can liberate them, they will give
you precious technologies and boosts.

8
The Future of
New Domineum
You can play Voidfall cooperatively or competitively.
Thematically, the cooperative game takes place
soon after the rifts have opened, and the Voidborn’s
presence begins to manifest. The players must work
together to shut down the interdimensional portals
and prevent the entry of the complete corporeal
form of the Voidborn into the Domineum. The
competitive game starts some time after this, where
corruption and Voidborn controlled forces still hold
the majority of the galaxy, but the direct connection
to its realm has been severed, its control weakened.
The once prospering worlds of the Domineum are
now ripe for the taking, and the formerly allied
Houses now all see an opening to liberate, conquer,
and unify humanity under their own banner and
form a new Domineum.

The Rifts Have

Opened…
In the cooperative game, the threat of the Voidborn’s takeover of
our galaxy is imminent.

At least one massive interdimensional Rift has opened to the

extradimensional space we now know as the Void. Through these
Rifts, the Voidborn reached out to those with infected minds,
turning them into corrupted soldiers to execute humanity’s
subjugation per the Voidborn’s commands. Are they still human,
or just empty puppets? We cannot tell. Either way, the threat of
inevitable skirmishes from the Novarchs’ fleets now corrupted to
serve the Voidborn looms from beyond our systems.

But the part of humanity free of the Novarch’s chains has come
together to find a way to shut down the Rifts and to push back
the maddening influence of the Voidborn. The remnants of
Domineum are suffering from several crises at the same time, and
every uprising, every famine, every unregulated research project is
a potential way for it to take over more minds.

The players can suffer these crises, or attempt to solve them —but if we let too many of them linger for long, it’s a recipe for a catastrophe.
Mechanically, these crises act as either negative events or as in-game objectives requiring players to go beyond their usual targets or act
wastefully on purpose, making sacrifices to solve them. Crises can be of economic or military nature, and if multiple crises of the same type
remain ongoing at a given time, a catastrophe happens—the fourth of which will signal the doom of humanity and immediate game loss.
Additionally, the more crises that are ongoing, the more toll they take on the Houses: if the economy is in turmoil, the players will bleed
resources, while if the military troubles are unchecked, the strength of the Voidborn’s skirmishes will rapidly increase.

But the alliance of humans is not without its own tools. Uniting gives better options, represented in the game by the Joint Focus cards:
players can replace familiar Focus cards with better versions. Joint Focus actions commonly allow players to help their teammates on their
turn, allowing you to assist each other where needed most.

When playing Voidfall cooperatively, players are meant to discuss details of strategy. Suggesting which Focus to play, which strategies to
pursue, which ongoing Crises to solve, or how to optimize Joint Focus actions are all allowed and encouraged, since Voidfall is not built on
hidden information. We do however, actively encourage letting each player manage their own Focus and Agenda cards, and all their action
selections—after all, it’s their own empire…

YOUR NEXT COOPERATIVE OR

SOLO GAME
If you intend to play more solo or cooperative games in the future,
you should learn the additional rules–always in blue highlight–
before your second game. You are encouraged to start with the "First
Stand" that you find in the Scenarios chapter, as the cooperative/
solo scenarios are progressively getting harder and more complex.

We recommend you only try a cooperative game with 4 players once

most of you are comfortable with the game.

Table of Scenarios
Each scenario presents an alternative galactic situation based on how the events after the Voidfall would have turned out under different
circumstances. Cooperative and solo scenarios take place after the Voidborn’s arrival and the Great Houses join forces to stop it from
full manifestation. In the competitive scenarios, the surviving Great Houses have managed to close the Rifts and now they strive for
dominance over the corrupted ruins of Domineum while they fight off the remaining forces of the Voidborn. Below, you find the table of
these scenarios broken down by game mode and player count. The tutorial scenarios are described in the Scenario setup chapter (pages 14-15).

the Voidborn forces, which could be great assets to the Houses if they were able to liberate them.

Not only did the arrival of the Voidborn open Rifts across the fabric of the dimensions, but it also inexplicably distorted reality in the
star systems surrounding the Rifts. In these domains, humanity has long been waging a losing war due to their standard communication
technologies becoming unusable in the distortion. But now, with the help of the Comms Relays developed during the war, the remaining
Great Houses finally have a chance to take back what’s theirs.

The stakes of the war against the Voidborn are no less than the very existence of mankind. But the Great Houses that are still fighting must
think even beyond that. It is not enough to survive the extradimensional invasion and close the Rifts, they also need to to secure the future
of a new Domineum. And for that, they must save the empire's crown jewel, the Paradise World, for humanity to thrive, and the planet-
sized city of Megalopolis to provide the funds to start anew.

Although the Corruption breached the inner worlds’ defenses and reached the outer rim, the remaining Houses eventually managed to
bring the Voidborn forces under siege at the heart of the Domineum. In order to achieve lasting victory, humanity needs a new home to
rise from its ashes and start over. And so their primary goal is to take back the Genesis worlds, the only planets in the galaxy where the
people of Domineum can finally settle down and prosper once again.
