= Quest System =
The '''Quest System''' in ''Per Regna'' provides structured objectives that guide commanders through the core mechanics of the game while rewarding regular activity and progression.

Quests help new players learn the game systems while giving experienced players recurring goals that encourage exploration, expansion, combat, and economic development.

Quests are divided into three major systems:

* '''Onboarding Quests''' — guided progression during early gameplay
* '''Daily Quests''' — rotating objectives that reward active play
* '''Weekly Streak Rewards''' — bonuses earned through consistent completion of daily quests

Together these systems provide a steady flow of rewards, experience, and gameplay direction.
----

= Quest Categories =
During the onboarding phase, quests are organized into several thematic '''paths''', each focusing on a major gameplay area.

Current onboarding quest paths include:

* '''Exploration Path''' — teaches scanning systems and expeditions
* '''Resource Management Path''' — focuses on economy and infrastructure
* '''Combat Path''' — introduces fleets, battles, and debris recycling
* '''Colonization Path''' — guides players toward founding new colonies

Each path contains a sequence of quests that must be completed in order.

Completing an entire quest category grants a '''Category Bonus''', providing additional rewards such as resources, items, or temporary boosts.

They introduce essential mechanics step-by-step, ensuring players become familiar with:
