How does the hex coordinate system work in Sektorium?

Sektorium uses an odd-row offset hex grid. Each hex has a column (q) and row (r) coordinate. Even rows are flush left; odd rows shift right by half a hex width. Distance between hexes is measured in hex steps.

What are the four game phases and their order?

Each turn follows four phases in order: ENERGY (allocate power to speed, shields, sensors, and weapons), MOVEMENT (move and rotate your ship), SENSOR (resolve sensor locks and electronic warfare), and FIRE (select targets and resolve weapon attacks).

How are shield facings organized on my ship?

Each ship has six shield facings corresponding to the six hex directions: Front, Front-Right, Rear-Right, Rear, Rear-Left, and Front-Left. Shield facings are relative to your ship's current heading, not absolute grid directions.

How is a weapon's target number calculated?

Target number = Base To-Hit + Range Modifier + Lock Quality Bonus. You roll 2d6 and need to meet or exceed the target number. Weapons have range profiles that modify accuracy at different distances.

What happens when I try to flee the battle?

Ships that exit the battle boundary enter a flee grace period. If you remain outside the boundary for the full grace period, you forfeit the duel. A warning zone at the boundary edge alerts you before you leave.
