THE HYBRID SECTOR
DESIGNER NOTES
The Hybrid Sector combines existing technology in ways normally forbidden in order to discover new tactics. This combination is not merely to make a “cool” starship, but rather to create something fully functional on the tabletop that will require new types of tactics in order to succeed. One thing to keep in mind is that these are new empires which, through the course of their technological advancements, have discovered the same technologies as the original universe. They are not watered down derivatives of the original empires.
One thing to note is that all existing technologies will be used as is, in other words, as formally published. Even if I disagree about balance issues or how a particular technology works, I will leave it as it was originally published with no changes.
It is also important to point out that the Hybrid Sector differs from the Prime Sector, Fimbulvetr, and King Alpha, three other Genesis Galaxies. A surface examination of these three Genesis Galaxies might lead one to believe they are the same as the Hybrid Sector, but a thorough reading of each Galaxy’s Designer Notes will reveal that they are, in fact, different. The Hybrid Sector is also different from the Proto Sector and the Burnside Territories, two Genesis Galaxies that seek designs which are balanced against the Alpha Sector.
My original intention was to use PH-1’s, PH-2’s, PH-3’s, and PH-4’s in the Hybrid Sector. However, I later decided that new tactics might be further encouraged by introducing Brand New Phasers. To this end, I developed the PH-1.5 and the PH-2.5, both of which have their own tables. Later, I will add the PH-3.5, the PH-H, and the PH-4.5.
The Hybrid Sector is comprised of a multitude of Clans, each of which builds their starships using specific technology. They have their own reasons for doing this, jealously protecting certain technologies while accepting that other technologies are commonplace in the Hybrid Sector. Each Clan has certain rivalries, hatreds, grudges, trading agreements, and alliances with other Clans. This will be detailed more in the Hybrid Sector Timeline.
The Hybrid Sector is divided into three Spheres (sometimes envisioned as Layers): Outer, Middle, and Inner. The Outer Sphere features Alpha Sector Technology. The Middle Sphere utilizes Omega Sector Technology. And the Inner Sphere incorporates Magellanic Technology. There are ways to travel from one Sphere to another Sphere, but they are limited and difficult to access.
