Territory Battles: Imperial Retaliation: Vertical Slices 1-3 Platoon Requirements

No, phase is not perfect, because that's a chronological descriptor. Each phase is a time period that runs from noon EST to noon EST. If you don't star a territory, you remain on that for the next phase. So phases are when you are in TB. These requirements are where you are in terms of location. People who star every territory each phase treat them as if they are equivalent, but they are not. Guilds that can't star every territory each phase know well the difference.
