Deadzone

Deadzone is an exciting 2 player skirmish game of futuristic battles fought on distant colonies and alien landscapes in declared containment zones.

About the Game

Set on the fringes of civilised space, Deadzone takes place in containment zones – cities or whole planets that have been erased from planetary maps and left for dead. You control an elite team of soldiers ready to enter the potentially lethal Deadzone and scavenge for whatever lucrative resources you can find. But competition is fierce, and other Strike Teams will be out to thwart you on your mission. Get in, get out, get rich, or get dead.

In-Universe

Declared by the Council and enacted by the Enforcer Corps, a Containment Protocol is the ultimate sanction, used to prevent such dangers from being known by or spread to the wider GCPS. A planet will be wiped from all maps, cut off from the rest of humanity and cleansed by the Enforcers. Planets subject to a Containment Protocol are known colloquially by another name, spoken of in whispers in shadowy circles and dark bars the length and breadth of the GCPS – Deadzones.

A Deadzone is a place where ordinary rules do not apply. Any intruder, human or otherwise, found on such a planet will be automatically treated as hostile by the Enforcers, who are licensed to use terminal force in all such cases. Between the incidents that render them Deadzones, and the aggressive presence of the Council’s elite forces, these planets represent some of the most dangerous places in the galaxy, but also some of the most lucrative. As a result, corporations and other alien races send small Strike Teams into a Deadzone, ready to plunder whatever resources they can find – regardless of the cost.

In recent decades, however, the number of full planetary Containment Protocols has begun to decline and profit-hungry corporations, or alien races with their own ineffable agendas, have taken to using their Strike Teams as squads for black ops missions. These teams are often sent behind enemy lines into densely packed urban environments to execute top secret assignments. Some, like the insidious Rebs, aim to bring the GCPS to its knees in a propaganda war, the Nameless see humanity as a disease that needs wiping out, while others are simply hired to take out a corporate rival. Strike Teams are sent in without official authorisation and often with no clue to their true agenda. If they succeed, the rewards are potentially immense. If they die… well, they never officially existed anyway.

The galaxy has never been so deadly.
