Something is tearing through the map... In HEGEMONY, the Void no longer just shows up like bad weather. It sends an invitation first. RSVP is mandatory.
Five minutes before every Void strike, a rift rips into one planet and turns it into a Void gate — uncapturable, garrisoned by an army with deeply unreasonable numbers, and pulsing right in the middle of everyone's five-year plans.
Hammer the gate with missile salvos. Every hit lands on the live contribution ring around the rift: your face, your slice, your receipts. Whatever the gate has left when the timer hits zero becomes the Void's army — so every missile you fire now is one less horror knocking on YOUR door later. Think of it as a group project where everyone can finally see who actually did the work — in percentages.
The rift is also, let's be honest, an opportunity. While your rivals nobly pour missiles into the gate, nothing stops you from declaring war on a neighbour who made the fatal mistake of paying attention to the apocalypse. The galaxy doesn't pause for doomsday — it invoices it.
When the gate breaks, the podium settles the score. The top contributor is crowned MVP — Victory Points, credits, eternal bragging rights. And the player who did the least? They get something too: the Void's undivided attention. It hunts the freeloader FIRST. Yes, this is a group project where slacking is punished by an eldritch horror. We're very proud of it.
When the Void opens fire, it discovers everything you built while "defending the peace": defence grids all over the map light up and swat its missiles out of the sky. Every level of defence you bought before the storm finally justifies the invoice.
Trade convoys that wander too close to the rift don't get robbed — they get eaten. The Void does not negotiate shipping fees.
Void-held worlds aren't lost — they're merely under new management. Mass a fleet and rip your planet back out of the dark while the Void is busy ruining someone else's day. Timing is everything; sympathy is optional.
