Regroup is the phase of an encounter in which the offense retrieves a ship from the warp and returns it to one of his or her colonies. If the offense has no colonies, he or she places the retrieved ship onto the hyperspace gate instead. There is one Regroup phase per encounter, unlike Start Turn, which only happens once per turn.

The Regroup phase is the first phase of every encounter. Therefore, cards and alien powers that say "at the start of an encounter" can be used during this phase, but once destiny is drawn, the game is onto the next phase and therefore these effects can no longer be used until the next encounter.

If playing with technology, players can research or complete tech cards during this phase.
