The Initiation Phase is the first phase of a run. The initiation phase has three key components. First, the Runner declares which server is being attacked. Then, the Runner gains Bad Publicity credits. Finally, a check for ice protecting the server is made to determine if the run proceeds to the Confrontation Phase or the Access Phase.
The Initiation Phase is part 1 in the timing structure of a run.
