The rulebook's Space Battle sequence defines the timing.

- Twilight Imperium: Third Edition rulebook · Rulebook · 1. Announce Retreats/Withdrawals
Retreats are announced at the start of a combat round (attacker first; if the attacker withdraws, the defender cannot retreat) and carried out at the end, so every battle has at least one round of combat and dice must be rolled. A retreat is cancelled if the enemy has no units left at that point.
