Interstellar travel allowing direct discovery and contact with intelligent aliens is a common theme in science fiction stories, but so far the obstacles to such journeys have been insurmountable. An alternative approach to achieving such a first contact is to survey the sky in hopes of finding transmissions from a civilization on a distant planet. However, such an effort has many obstacles: searching the entire nightsky for some far-away and faint signal is an exhausting - not to mention expensive - exercise. The potential benefits of such a program make it worthwhile, however.

The SEVI Program is undertaken by a number of bases throughout Vexillium, only one of which is under the control of the FCCSA: the former FCLR centre in the mountains of Western Gorami, Neoliliana.
