Uprising Territories
Source: Necromunda: Apocrypha Necromunda (2024)
As the insidious threat of Chaos spreads, the hive districts are reduced to cannibal-haunted wastelands, and locals are driven into madness and depravity. This inevitable societal decay is reflected in the Territories controlled by the gangs. At the start of the campaign, gangs might have dominion over bustling underhive settlements or lucrative crossroads, reaping the benefits of trade and a large populace to draw recruits from. As the campaign wears on, these same settlements and byways can be reduced to ruins, inhabited by haunted survivors and ravenous beasts, from which the gang must scavenge equipment and food.
Starting Territories
At the start of the Uprising Campaign, each player’s gang begins in control of three Territories. One of these is determined by the type of gang they are playing as detailed below. This represents the gang’s home base or hideout and can never be lost, even if it is the only Territory the gang controls. The two remaining Territories are generated randomly.
To determine these Territories, each player rolls on the Uprising Territories table that follows. Gangs may have the same Territory multiple times, though only Palanite Enforcer gangs may have a Precinct-Fortress, and only Corpse Grinder Cult and Helot Chaos Cult gangs may have a Chaos Fane.

Palanite Enforcer Gangs: Precinct-Fortress
Corpse Grinder Cult Gangs and Chaos Cult Gangs: Chaos Fane
All Other Gangs: Settlement

Using Uprising Territories
Each Territory provides Boons to the gang who controls it. At the beginning of each Campaign Week, each player generates any Boons listed on their Territories, such as Income and Recruits. In the case of variable rolls or other random results, these dice rolls can be made during the pre-battle sequence of the first game of the Campaign Week with their results taking effect immediately – i.e., recruited fighters can be used right away.
Territories provide two sets of Boons: a standard one, reflecting the Territory as it is under the influence of Order, and a Ruined one, representing the Territory once it has fallen under the influence of Chaos. Only one of these sets of Boons applies at any time depending on the state of the Territory, and Boons that apply to rules that are not in effect – such as portions of Meat gained while the Starvation rules are not being used – are ignored. Once a Territory has been Ruined and fallen under the influence of Chaos, it remains Ruined for the remainder of the campaign.
