Sympathisers

RAW ✔️ The Aranthian Succession – Cinderak Burning, p65

During a Succession Campaign, gangs fight for control of a special kind of Territory called Sympathisers. These are groups or parts of much larger organisations or factions which can be swayed to support either the Imperial House or Lady Credo's Rebellion using the most universal of all methods on Necromunda – a show of force. Moving their support from one faction to the other as the tides of battle flow, no gang can rely upon Sympathisers for long, but their aid is a powerful tool while it is held.
