You can't. There are no dead ends in the game, but there is also no restarting on the same account.

Be sure to follow the instructions in the order that they're given or you'll slow down your Sector's development by using up your resources too fast. If this happens, just wait awhile until you collect enough to continue.

Invading other Sectors allows you to prove your dominance over your rivals, place in the Invasion and Tribute Rankings, and harvest a percentage of your enemy's resource production. The Top 10 Players in the Weekly Invasion and Tribute Rankings may also earn Crystals for holding their positions. Simply invading an opponent will not eliminate them, affect their Sector development, or limit their actions. But you may also choose to colonize Sectors you are currently occupying. Once colonized, these Sectors will offer you a percentage of their Titanium or Uranium production.
To collect all Resources accumulated in a Colony, click "Collect" when the button is active.

But after you expanded your Sector, each side of the Perimeter will be longer so you may notice unfilled spaces. You will be able to purchase more Perimeter constructions in order to fill the gaps and you can move and edit your emplacements to look more contiguous. These gaps do not negatively affect your Defensive Bonus.

Not all Infestations offer Resources or recoverable Units with every try, but each successive Infestation you neutralize increased the odds of receiving a bonus on the next attempt. (It's not like flipping a coin - your odds WILL increase and you will eventually receive a bonus.)
Artifacts affect only your own Units. Sector Defense Bonuses influence all friendly Units currently stationed within your Sector, including friendly Reinforcements.
Any Clan that occupies an Emitter will have to defend it from increasingly powerful waves of attacking Mutants. With each successful defensive battle against the Mutants, your forces will extract and store Antigen from fallen Mutants within the Emitter.
This can be then used to convert your forces into powerful A-Mutants. A-Mutants boast considerably higher defensive and offensive statistics, in addition to costing far less to maintain than your regular forces.
You may only receive and use Antigen if your Clan Leader or Deputy Clan leader grants you Antigen usage privileges from the Clan Interface.

Echelon Points count towards the Level of your Echelon Status which, when activated, grants you powerful boosts, bonuses and improves the statistics of your Units and Sector. You earn Echelon Points just by logging into the game each day. For each consecutive day you log into the game, you will be rewarded with an increasing number of Echelon Points. The longer your run, the more Points you can earn.
As your total Echelon Points increase, so will your Echelon Level and the power of your accompanying bonuses when your Echelon Status is activated.
You may also acquire Echelon Points by purchasing them at the Black Market directly.
Your Echelon Status is a special gameplay modifier that grants powerful boosts and bonuses to the statistics of both your Sector and Units for a set period of time when activated.
Your Echelon Status has multiple Levels. Collect Echelon Points to increase the Level of your Echelon Status. Upon completion of each Level, Echelon Status will automatically be activated on your account for 24 hours. With each new Level gained, you will be rewarded with increasingly larger bonuses, boosts and other rewards.
To activate your Echelon Status, you must use Echelon Activators that can be earned by participating in special game events, or purchased at the Black Market from the "Misc." tab. Keep in mind that once activated, your Echelon Status cannot be canceled or aborted early.
To activate your Echelon Status, go to the Black Market, open the "Misc." tab and click the "Apply" button next to the Echelon Status Activator. Once your Echelon Status has expired, you must manually reactivate it.

Logging in for 60 or 90 days in a row makes these bonus prizes even bigger! Be aware: If you skip a day your reward will be lost, so don't forget to claim your reward on time and keep coming back! Days are defined by UTC time. Daily Rewards refresh every 24 hours at 00:00 UTC time.
All you need to do is log into Total Domination every day in order to receive huge bonuses and rewards!

Some Sectors have more Uranium Mines - Others have more Titanium Mines. The amount of Uranium and Titanium ore available in each Sector is varied in order to encourage Trading with other players at the Trade Gateway. Exchange excess resources for ones you need - or sell them for additional Credits.

At the current stage of the game Clans are not available. However, you can still organize your own Alliance however you like and recruit other Commanders. Some Alliances indicate their affiliations within their Sector name, which you can edit from your Senate building.
Expanding your Sector does not affect the number of Defensive emplacements you have installed. But after you expanded your Sector, each side of the Perimeter will be longer so you may notice unfilled spaces. You will be able to purchase more Perimeter constructions in order to fill the gaps and you can move and edit your emplacements to look more contiguous. These gaps do not negatively effect your Defensive Bonus.
Both Deposits and Tapsites are dedicated to producing one of the three main types of Resources (Uranium, Titanium, and Credits), along with special Resources such as Crystals or Bioplasma.
RESOURCES COLLECTED
There are three types of Deposits: large, medium and small. The number of Resources produced by a Deposit and its storage capacity depend on its size. The higher a Deposit's Level, the more Resources it produces per hour, and the larger its capacity.
You will find Tapsites of different sizes on the Map according to your Level in the game. The speed at which Defensive Troops stationed at a Tapsite accumulate Resources depends on the Microrobotic Drill Technology upgrade Level. The number of Resources collected is determined by their carrying capacity.
DEPOSIT AND TAPSITE DEPLETION
When a Deposit is depleted, it is removed from the Map. The time remaining until a Deposit's depletion is displayed on the pop-up Map menu and in your Administrative buildings (Command Center and Radar). A Tapsite will be removed from the Map when its Resources are depleted, or if no one has attacked or captured it for an extended period of time.
When new Deposits or Tapsites appear on the Map, they are vacant and unguarded – so try to be first to capture one. Any player can view the number of Resources stored there by positioning their cursor over it.
You can increase your daily limit for Raid attempts by:
1. Activating your Echelon Status (at higher Echelon levels, this is one of the Echelon Bonuses; check the Echelon Bonuses window to see if you qualify)
2. Completing Achievements in the Logistics Center (inviting your friends)
3. Upgrading the "+1 Raid Attempt" attribute in your Tech Nexus.
If you earn, for example, 4 extra Raid attempts, it does not mean that you can go raid 4 Sectors right away. What these "extra Raid attempts" mean is that the cooldown between Raids is reduced.
Without these "extra Raid attempts", you receive a new Raid attempt only every 2.5 hours. This means that you could only perform a maximum of 10 in a day. Now, for example, with your Echelon Status activated for 24 hours, the cooldown time between Raid Attempts is decreased to the point where you could fit in 4 additional Raid Attempts in a 24 hour period, and you can now raid your enemies 14 times instead of 10 in one day!
