Some Sectors contain a Discovery Tile which is awarded when the Sector is first Explored (in the case of unoccupied Sectors) or the Sector's defender is destroyed (in the case of occupied Sectors). Each Discovery Tile is double-sided: the front showing one of various rewards (extra Resources, new Technologies, Ancient Ship Parts, etc.) and the back showing a 2 VP value. When awarded a Discovery Tile you must reveal it and decide which side to use before ending your Activation (or the Combat Phase if awarded during the Combat Phase, see the Discovery Tiles section of the Action Phase section for details on Discovery Tiles).
