Jedi ExplorCorps

The Jedi Order's Exploration Corps has several objectives:

• Scout out and map new spacelands and undiscovered (or simply poorly explored) systems and worlds;
• Discover and explore the ruins of ancient civilizations, known and unknown;
• Assist in any and all research that aids in the process of uncovering lost information or discovering new;
• Assist pioneers and colonists in establishing frontiers and settlements, and exploring their environs.

As such, the Exploration Corps fosters a variety of skilled professions within its membership:

• Pilots and astrogators
• Archaeologists and anthropologists
• Cartographers and astrographers
• Planetary explorers and research scientists

The Exploration Corps is based out of the following:

• Every Ordinance/Regional Depot site has a small headquarters for the ExplorCorps.
• There are four small praxeum ships dedicated to training ExplorCorps members and exploring the edges of known space.
• The vast majority of the ExplorCorps are located aboard scout ships that serve as their bases of operations.

The Exploration Corps works closely with the following:

• Intergalactic Zoological Society; providing transport and protection for its researchers, and sending their findings to be catalogued with the IZS;
• Republic Survey Corps; assisting in the discovery and recording of galactic spacescapes, systems, and the like;
• Academy of Jedi Archaeology; assisting in the recovery of ancient artifacts and lore
• Council of Reconciliation; aiding with information about newly discovered civilizations and helping them to bring new planets into the Galactic Republic
