With so many xeno-archeological discoveries and fortunes at stake, conflicts inevitably erupt between the individuals, factions, corporations, and governments within the Niecti star system, and the Alliance at large.

Resolving conflicts of any type involves the following:

◢ Initiative
◢ Turn Order
◢ Actions Per Turn
◢ Events in Conflicts
◢ Actions

The decisive moment in a conflict comes down to testing the abilities of both sides to see which prevails:

◢ To-Hit Rolls
◢ Core Mechanic
◢ Opposed Attribute Score Test
◢ Task Resolution
◢ Criticals and Fumbles
◢ Reactions

After finding the success or failure of each sides' actions or reactions, resolve the consequences:

◢ Hit Locations
◢ Damage
◢ Reserves
◢ Healing
◢ Repair

◢ Mass Conflicts

Adventurers may find themselves involved in four broad types of conflict following this general conflict outline:

• Social Conflict: negotiations, haggling, debates, seduction
• Martial Conflict: hand-to-hand, melee weapon, ranged weapon fighting, races, and chases
• Vehicular Conflict: races, chases, and demolition
• Supernatural Conflict: Using supernatural abilities such as magic, powers, or psionics against others
