# Seasonal Progression

Seasons provide a structured, time-limited progression system where players engage in collective and personal challenges. Each season lasts **40–60 days** and introduces **new goals, content, and rewards**.\
\
**How It Works:**

* **Phases**: Seasons are divided into progressive phases, each with a specific objective. All players work toward completing the current phase before time expires. Whether successful or not, the server automatically advances to the next phase.
* **Rewards**: Players receive base rewards after each phase. If the phase’s objective is completed on time, a bonus chest becomes available. If not, it is marked as “requirement not met.”
* **Game Updates**: With each new phase, the game may introduce tougher challenges, new content, or catch-up mechanics for latecomers.

#### End of Season:

* Seasonal ranks and rewards are distributed based on completed objectives.
* A **brief transition period** follows, during which player actions no longer affect rankings.
* A **new season** begins 1–2 days later.

#### What Carries Over:

* **Retained**: Gold, acquired officers, ships, and ship mastery.
* **Reset**: Guilds, seasonal consumables, credits, strike craft, structures, tech-tree progress, seasonal resources (Gas, Titanium, Water, Minerals), and map data.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://novainfo.revolvinggames.com/game-mechanics/the-basics/seasonal-progression.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
