Null Sector

“	No humans.	„
	~ A Null Sector slogan

Null Sector
Leadership	Ramattra
Headquarters	London (formerly) Cairo (possibly)
Type	Militant omnic liberation group
Standing	Active

Null Sector is a militant omnic liberation group that utilizes violent methods to achieve omnic rights. Its forces are almost entirely comprised of robotic drones manufactured in an omnium under the direction of Ramattra, one of its original founders and currently its sole leader. They were decried as terrorists by the Shambali Order following the King's Row Uprising, going underground until their re-emergence. Now, Null Sector is regarded as one of the world's most notorious terrorist organizations.

Their implied goal is to create an omnic nation.

History

“	I was created to lead omnics into war. But all I have ever wanted is a better life for my people. The fact that we exist...is a miracle unto itself. We have studied the ways of peace and harmony. We have meditated on the universe and our place within it. We have tried to coexist with humanity, but humanity is not interested in sharing their world. How many more omnics should perish to fuel mankind's dreams? No more. Our race is only a single generation - finite, and dying all too quickly. We can find our own place, and we must. Join me, and together, we will make a better future for all omnics.	„
	~ Ramattra

Ramattra leads Null Sector

Origins

“	Why did you choose the name Null Sector? Because we defy the numbers humans gave us. We are zeroes, undefined. Is that not its own struggle? Of course, I expect you know that better than anyone.	„
	~ Echo and Ramattra

After the Omnic Crisis, human abuses of omnics were endemic. Many omnics fought back in secret, but it was under Ramattra that they found unity. The truths he shared with those he met inspired others and over time he gained an underground following of these hurt and angry omnics. Null Sector was formed by Ramattra and his allies Nameless, Lanet and Zera.

Ramattra initially focused on building loyalty in his followers, but true radicalization and militarization would not be far behind. At first, Ramattra had advocated co-existence, but after countless failed attempts, he believed that co-existence with humanity was impossible, and aware of the omnics' dwindling numbers, became Null Sector's leader to create a better future for his people by force. He chose the name "Null Sector" as an act of defiance against humanity. Whereas humans had given omnics numbers, Null Sector would be "undefined" in the eyes of their organic creators. However, in its infancy, Null Sector was small in size, and wasn't treated as a threat by the world's authorities.

King's Row Uprising

“	In a month, they've undone all the progress we've made and destroyed thousands of years of our history.	„
	~ Tracer in light of Null Sector's London attack

The King's Row Times reports on Null Sector's activities

Seven years before the present day, Ramattra and his allies arrived at an omnium created by Anubis during the Crisis. There, Ramattra activated the assembly lines and produced a horde of robots for Null Sector. Despite the disagreements and protests from his allies, Ramattra reassured them that unlike omnics, these robots were usable and expendable despite their outdated state and then proceeded with the plan to begin the Uprising in London.

Null Sector rampages through London

After stirring unrest in London, Null Sector launched the King's Row Uprising. After 27 days of the Uprising, the UK prime minister continued to forbid Overwatch from interfering. By this point, Null Sector had taken Mayor Nandah, Mondatta, and a hundred other prisoners captive in a guarded power plant. Thousands in King's Row needed medical aid. Blackwatch agent McCree, who had been sent to London by Gabriel Reyes without telling anyone, reported the situation to Strike Commander Jack Morrison. After much deliberation, Morrison authorized an illegal Overwatch mission to end the crisis. Four Overwatch agents—Tracer, Reinhardt, Mercy, and Torbjörn—touched down in King's Row, and fought their way through the hordes of Null Sector omnics that came at them.

Two days after the Uprising, Ramattra was infuriated that omnic citizens and Mondatta were condemning Null Sector as a terrorist group via news reports. With the death of Lanet and seeing how far their friend was willing to go, Nameless and Zera left Ramattra to lead Null Sector alone.

Null Sector's Return

Attack on Paris

“	Attention. This is your captain speaking. We're on final approach to Paris. You may now power on your electronic devices. Weather is mostly cloudy, with a hundred percent chance of Null Sector invasion.	„
	~ Tracer

Null Sector attacks Paris

Null Sector made a return to the world after seven years had passed by launching an attack on Paris; one that the French police were hard pressed to stop. An Overwatch team consisting of Tracer, Mei and Winston arrived to help with the evacuation, but were not only heavily outnumbered by Null Sector's Nullifiers, but with the arrival of a Titan, heavily outgunned as well. However, the tide was turned with the arrival of additional Overwatch members, who were able to fend off Null Sector and destroy the Titan.

Attack on Busan

“	I'm seeing drop pods all over Busan. This is exactly like Paris.	„
	~ MEKA Captain Myung

Null Sector forces in Busan

Not long after Paris, Null Sector attacked Busan, deploying thousands of omnics via drop pods. The MEKA Squad was deployed to defend the city and take down the attacking command carrier. With the arrival of Overwatch members led by Cole Cassidy, Null Sector was repelled, with their ground forces destroyed and their carrier forced to retreat.

World War

Note: The timing of some of the following battles is speculative. They have been listed in the following order by best estimate.

“	My fellow omnics...do not be afraid. This is not war, this is liberation. Since our creation, humans have oppressed us. You have lived in fear. That ends now. We will shatter the chains that have held you in servitude. This marks a new era, one of equality, of unity. Conflict and strife will be relics of the past. Together, working as one, we will lift our people. Together, of one mind and purpose, we will make this world a paradise. The humans will fight us. Change frightens them. We frighten them. They believe we are not their equals. Together, we will prove them wrong. Do not betray your fellow omnics by defending injustice. Join us. Take your place at our side. Only together will our strength manifest. Only as one will we ascend. We welcome you into the Iris.	„
	~ Ramattra's message, broadcasted in multiple cities

Null Sector launches its invasion

Despite their defeats at Paris and Busan, Null Sector was able to launch a global invasion, striking at numerous targets across the planet. The world's militaries were quickly overwhelmed, and the world descended into chaos. Millions were affected by the war. The group began abducting omnics for an unknown purpose.

Battle of the Atlantic Arcology

In the case of the Atlantic Ecological City , the day after the invasion of Paris, it is a relatively weak defense of the hyperloop and causes great damage.

Battle of Numbani

A year after stopping Doomfist and meeting Sojourn in Numbani, Orisa and Efi Oladele , who have now established themselves as proper heroes of Numbani through numerous upgrades , witness Null Sector's invasion of Numbani the day after the invasion of Paris. do. Efi hurriedly tried to contact Orisa, who was upset after a small argument with Efi who was making a small robot called Junie the day before, but the Null Sector had already cut off communication, so Efi Oladele was unable to contact Orisa. Nevertheless, Efi, who was trying to save the citizens, was almost caught by the Null Sector troopers, but escaped the crisis thanks to Mr. Parkour, who she was close with. Mr. Parkour and Efi, who took refuge at Cafe Kopi Amoro, say that they saw a strange machine being placed on an omnic's head by several refugees. Additionally, propaganda broadcasts from the mysterious R-7000 began appearing on all holograms in the cafe . Refugees who watched such broadcasts broke the belief that the Null Sector was an abolition of omnic discrimination, and came to the conclusion that they did not understand Numbani.

At that moment, the wall of Cafe Kopi Amoro is destroyed and the omnics are dragged away by the Nulltroopers. The citizens of Numbani tried to fight back with their own weapons, but it was not enough. At that time, Orisa appears and destroys the Nulltroopers. Efi joins Orisa and heads to the defense forces of Numbani City. The city's defense force, which was fighting throughout the city, was having a hard time repelling Null Sector because its forces were dispersed. As damage accumulates and many casualties are seen, Efi infects the Zuni possessed by most of the citizens with a virus she created, upgrades them, and places them under her control. About 300 Zuni, city defense forces, and Orisa citizens aggressively expanded the front line centered on Satellite Road, and the number of joining city defense forces, citizens, and Zuni gradually increased. In the end, the citizens of Numbani, Orisa, and Efi Oladele cheer as they drive out the troops from all fronts.

efi, who couldn't sleep even after returning home, sees the image of Rio being invaded by the Null Sector playing on TV and the Overwatch she had longed for. And seeing Istanbul and Cape Town invaded by Null Sector, she tells Orisa that now is the time to protect them.

Since Numbani is a city where humans and omnics coexist, there are many omnics in Numbani that are targets. A very strong offensive was needed to capture or occupy this place, but Null Sector deployed only a relatively small number of Command ships. Because of Overwatch's blockage of the Null Sector in Paris, it appears that relatively few attacks have come to Numbani.

Battle of Las Vegas

Not long after the attack on Paris, Null Sector invaded Las Vegas. The attack was swift and sudden, with the Las Vegas Strip taking heavy damage. Upon landing, Null Sector's warbots fanned out across the Strip, entering its casinos and hotels to "liberate" omnics through neural suppressors, while humans were either ignored or executed. Communication channels were flooded, preventing contact with the outside world. 22 hours after the initial attack, some human resistance lingered, but the city was effectively taken. Speakers were set up to broadcast Ramattra's declaration of "liberation."

Battle of Rio

“	We're being overrun. Null Sector is everywhere. I'll hold 'em as long as I can.	„
	~ Lúcio

Null Sector invades Rio

Null Sector launched an attack on Rio de Janeiro. A command ship hovered above the city, dispatching Null Sector forces to the ground via pod. Lúcio did what he could to stem the tide, and was aided by a newly arrived Overwatch team. They fought their way through Rio's streets in order to get to the command ship. The command ship was destroyed.

Battle of Toronto

Null Sector occupies Toronto

Null Sector's next target was Toronto. Its forces began attacking the humans there, and abducting omnics that hadn't already gone rogue. In Null Sector's mind, their actions were a case of "liberating" omnics, and their attack on Toronto was meant to demonstrate that humans had treated omnics as servants for far too long. Null Sector took control of most of the city and began rounding up omnics for "liberation." Null Sector sent in Stalkers and Subjugators to take control over the omnic's minds. Only a small portion of the omnics that inhabited Toronto ended up surviving, including Reggie Buckworth, an attorney, and Claire Hopper, an omnic laborer for Malik Engineering. A majority of the omnics in the Toronto Stadium survived due to the heroic acts of Overwatch protecting the ferry in which they escaped on.

Battle of Gothenburg

King's Row

Note: The timing of the King's Row attack compared to Rio, Toronto, and Gothenburg is unclear, but it is assumed to take place at around the same time given the simultanious release of Story Missions and the co-op event in which it features.

Null Sector attacks King's Row

Null Sector returned to King's Row seven years after the Uprising, this time with the intent of wiping out the omnics of the Underworld. Overwatch was sent in to stop them, utilizing a modified TS-1.

Battle of Lijiang

“

“The latest city to fall under attack by Null Sector, Lijiang is one of China’s premier technology centers, home to Wancài Industries, Lucheng Interstellar, New Harvest Banking Consortium, and other corporations.”

„

“The government is devoting extraordinary resources to defending Lijiang, as the proprietary technology developed by Lucheng and its competitors could make Null Sector even more dangerous . . .”

Wrecking Ball infiltrates Lijiang under the pretext of obtaining the anti-gravity engine parts that Queen has been looking for. Everyone in the city had already fled and virtually emptied the area, and the Null Sector Troopers was roaming around the empty space. However, there were security guards roaming around Lucheng Tower. They just stayed where they were, as if the invasion was none of their business.

Battle of Tokyo

The Null Sector ships that invaded Tokyo poured out bombardment from the outskirts of Tokyo. Hanzo, who returned to Tokyo after a long time, attacked the Hashimoto family members who were only protecting their own interests, ignoring the refugees who had been created by the Null Sector invasion. However, in the process, he suffered severe bleeding, and when other clans came to his aid, he was eventually captured. However, Hanzo was saved by Kiriko, who attacked the Hashimoto fortress where he was being held, and headed out of the fortress.

Hanzo and Kiriko soon saw Null Sector ships raining down Drop pods from the top of Tokyo Tower. The Tokyo police and Self-Defense Forces were being pushed back and retreating, and Tokyo was effectively surrounded and unable to move. Once Tokyo was reduced to ashes, Null Sector drone ships would head to the small and medium-sized districts surrounding Tokyo to block the refugees' escape. Hanzo and Kiriko saw the Hashimoto family retreating, but were unable to pursue them. In the streets of Tokyo filled with screams and the smell of sulfur, they realized that there were refugees everywhere and that they were the only ones who could protect them. After destroying all the Null Sector robots in the block, the two evacuated the refugees to the Hashimoto Fortress.

After that, the two head to Kanezaka.

Although Hanzo and Kiriko were able to evacuate some of the refugees, it seems almost certain that Tokyo will be taken over, as the Tokyo police and Self-Defense Forces failed to block the offensive, as in the case of Toronto. However, after Tokyo is taken, Null Sector forces will head to the surrounding towns such as Kanezaka, but with Kiriko and Hanzo heading to Kanezaka, and Kanezaka's Yokai vigilantes, Kanezaka will at least be safe.

Among those seen were:

• Bastion Siege Automaton B73-NS
• Detonator
• Eradicator
• Nulltrooper
• OR14-NS
• Slicer

Devices

• Power relay
• Neural suppressor
• Drop pod
• Mines
• Anti-Aircraft Turret

Trivia

• The Intel Database states in its entry for Zarya that the omnics attacking the Krasnoyarsk Front are Null Sector forces. This appears to be an error however, as every indication in New Blood is that the omnics are Siberian omnium omnics, not Null Sector models.
• With the theme of Season 6: Invasion being Null Sector, various heroes were given Null-Sector themed skins that turned them into omnics, which included that seasons mythic skin. The name of these skins all had the first letter of the relevant heroes name, followed by a series of numbers.
  • These skins were: Ana (A-7000 Wargod), Cassidy (C-455 Sharpshooter), Kiriko (K-2000 Blademaster), Pharah (P-900 Warhead), Symmetra (S-900 Sentry)
• During Season 10: Venture Forth, the Mirrorwatch event included some Null Sector themed skins for certain heroes, as the event was themed around an alternative universe were villains were heroes and heroes were villains.
  • These skins were: Orisa (OR-Unit), Zenyatta (Z-3N Destroyer)

Development

Null Sector's original Egyptian look

Team 4 began concepting Null Sector units in 2017 (note that this date appears to refer to Second Omnic Crisis-era omnics, as Null Sector made its debut in Overwatch Uprising that very year). In this early phase, Null Sector had an Egyptian motif, with a predominantly olive and gold color scheme. Their units had VFX based on sand powers, which the developers thought of as nanites.

The final Null Sector design is more skeletal, with purple their primary color. The early Egypt/nanite ideas influenced the development of Ramattra.

In an early version of Vendetta's backstory, Null Sector invaded Italy, but were defended by the hero in question.
