| - The Royal Exploration Corps of the Golden Empire, the smallest branch of the Glorious Armada, was a body charged with exploring the Unknown Regions, searching for safe hyperspace lanes, worlds with resources, and sentient life. Though technically military in nature and using ships from the Armada, the Exploration Corps reported directly to the Prime Legate, bypassing the usual military chain of command. Though guided by the Force to chart safe hyperspace paths for her own ship, the Empire's Queen, Rin Sakaros, could still only be in a single ship at one time, which would allow the Empire to expand only one world at a time. To counter this impossible task, and to help map the enormous and uncharted Unknown Regions, she created the Exploration Corps to explore and report back its findings to her at regular intervals. Exploratory task squads were usually composed of at least one capital ship with a fighter contingent, as well as a variety of escort craft, probes, and long-range reconnaissance ships. Though they were technically military expeditions, in the event that they discovered uncharted systems which were home to sentient life, Exploration Corps task forces usually carried members of the Ministry of Diplomacy, a contingent of ground troops, and agents of the Royal Integration Corps and the Educational Expansion Corps.
