Hello, new player and new to Dakka.

This question has been stuck in my mind for quite some time now and no one has been able to explain it in a way I understand, nor have I been able to find the information online. The question is simple, what are legal targets for Sepsitor? The wiki says "anything with a cube" but as a new player, I have no idea what models have cubes and what models do not. On-top of that, if I go by what I see in the infinity army builder, almost nothing has a cube, even TAGS don't list that they have a cube on the army builder, yet from reading I understand that I should be able to Sepsitor TAGs.

TL;DR - What are legal targets for Sepsitor, how do I identify them?

Thank you for your time!

In the official army builder you will see a blue cube to the upper left of the entry if they have cubes. Most units have them save Ariadna and the Hassassins.

Interesting, so units like the Charontids can't be the target of Sepsitor?

That is correct since they have no cube

Hmm, the Paradiso rule update says all G: Mnemonica constructs have cube 2.0 (which would make them legal targets), but I don't see it in the army builder. I wonder if it's only "treat as Cube 2.0 for purposes of CUBEVAC".

I'd go with treat them as if they had a cube.
Atleast according to Cube 2.0..

Mnemonica is Ghost: Mnemonica, Ghost: Mnemonica includes Ghost: Remote presence, Remote presence troops can't be targeted with sepsitor since they don't have cubes, based on this I would say you can't target with Sepsitor a model with G: Mnemonica

OTOH, from the official wiki:

"It is considered that all ALEPH troops possessing Cube shown in the Infinity Human Sphere book, as well as all
those troops possessing the G: Mnemonica Special Skill, have a Cube 2.0. "

The only way that these two interpretation are not mutually exclusive is if Cube 2.0 aren't Cubes as understood by the rule you quoted, Aldo.

Back-up
Indicates whether the figure possesses a memory and personality recording and backup system, commonly known as Cube.

Cube: The miniature has a recording Cube, so if he dies and his Cube is recovered, he can be resurrected to accomplish future missions. Some game campaigns can offer this possibility. Cubes are completely Disabled if their bearer fails their BTS Roll against E/M Special Ammunition.

Figures with Cubes are vulnerable to EI Sepsitor viral attacks.

Cube 2.0
This model of Cube facilitates recovery by CUBEVAC. The Cube 2.0 allows to its user to automatically succeed at the CUBEVAC Roll, without rolling any dice.
The benefits of the Cube 2.0 are only applied when playing a campaign, and only to those troops who appear in the Spec-Ops chart as possessing the Cube 2.0 in their profiles.
The Cube 2.0 is vulnerable to E/M Special Ammunition and to the Sepsitor.
It is considered that all ALEPH troops possessing Cube shown in the Infinity Human Sphere book, as well as all
those troops possessing the G: Mnemonica Special Skill, have a Cube 2.0.

The Cube 2.0 is the second generation of the memory, skill and personality recording device. This is not a mere technological improvement over previous models, but a genuine evolutionary leap of the Cube’s own concept. The Cube 2.0 not only has the most advanced data storage and protection systems, but also has a link connection to the data sphere. This resource allows the automatic update of backups.
The Cube 2.0 regularly connects to safe servers, created ad hoc in the data sphere, and it also files an update of the latest version of the data composing the Sheut in different virtual locations, as well as physical hard drives located in security vaults. The Cube 2.0’s also have the ability to find, acquire and install the latest software, security and service updates for its different operating components. In this way, the Cube 2.0 user is constantly connected and is fully assured of recording and continuity of his personality and memories. At present, all the advanced Lhost models (Bodhisattva, Anāgāmī...) carry a series Cube 2.0.
Sheut (ancient Egyptian: “Shadow”) name for the data stored in a Cube that comprises a personality. The term Sheut refers only to the pure data and it doesn’t include the genetic sample that all Cubes carry.

No Cube: The miniature does not have a Cube, so he will be immune to Sepsitor attacks. In return, his death will be definitive and he will not be able to be recovered during a campaign.


I asked CB about it cause at the very least they could mention the damn Cube thing under the G:Mnemonica entry as well./
