1- Can you build a Facility AND a space dock on the same planet on the same turn? (Assuming you have controlled the planet since the start of the turn)

Yes, there's nothing that says you can't, so there's no restriction.

2- If you use the special ability of "The Yin Brotherhood" on a planet with a facility what happens? For example: Assume the planet LESAB, with 2 resources and 1 influence, has a Refinery (+1 resource). If the Yin player reverses that would Lesab become 1-3 or 2-2?

1-3; facilities increase the value for all purposes.


3- Could you claim an asteroid field as your first system if you start the game with Antimass Deflectors?

What do you mean by "claim" it? Apart from the Saar (with their racial tech), you aren't allowed to activate Asteroids. Even with Antimass deflectors, you can move THROUGH asteroids, but you can't stop in them.

(Same applies to 4 and 5; with 5, even the Muaat cannot stop in a Supernova).

6- If you claim a system with a wormhole as your first system, could you clam another matching wormhole system as your second system?

I'd have to look at the Simulated early Turns rules again (I hate them and don't use them), but wormholes are only considered adjacent for movement purposes, not for any other purpose, so going off memory, I'd say no to this one.

I'll defer on the Step 2 and 3 ones, since I don't like the SET rules enough to have put much thought into them :)

12- When do leaders move? Example: Assume I have a Dreadnought with an admiral in the same system as my War Sun. I wish to use these ships to attack an opponent in an adjacent system, but I also want to move the Admiral to the War Sun before the attack. What's the correct order of moving the ships, transferring the Leader, and engaging in a space battle?

They move at the same time Ground Forces would move. Thus, they can be picked up during the Movement step, but cannot be transfered to another ship until the Planetary Landing step. So in the situation you describe, you cannot transfer the Admiral to the War Sun before the attack.
