We present initial results from a new 440-ks Chandra HETG GTO observation ofthe canonical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068. The proximity of NGC 1068, togetherwith Chandra's superb spatial and spectral resolution, allow an unprecedentedview of its nucleus and circumnuclear NLR. We perform the first spatiallyresolved high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the `ionization cone' in anyAGN, and use the sensitive line diagnostics offered by the HETG to measure theionization state, density, and temperature at discrete points along the ionizedNLR. We argue that the NLR takes the form of outflowing photoionized gas,rather than gas that has been collisionally ionized by the small-scale radiojet in NGC 1068. We investigate evidence for any velocity gradients in theoutflow, and describe our next steps in modeling the spatially resolved spectraas a function of distance from the nucleus.
