Is the Start Turn phase part of an encounter?
The designer explained how Start Turn is treated, noting the rulebook's own phase list is loose.

Officially no: an encounter begins with the Regroup phase, although the rulebook lists Start Turn among the eight phases. The designer calls Start Turn a preamble that is treated as part of the encounter where it has to be, such as for how long a Cosmic Zap or an any-time flare lasts.
