The '''Star League Exploration Command''', which seems to be the same service branch as '''Exploration and Colonisation Command''', '''SLDF Exploration Command''', and '''SLDF Explorer Corps''', was a branch of the [[Star League Defense Force]] navy concerned with surveying unknown stars. It was a precursor to [[ComStar]]'s [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]].

Science/Survey squadrons of [[JumpShips]], [[DropShips]], and occasionally [[WarShips]] were charged with expanding human knowledge and discovering new systems, both inside and outside of settled borders. The worlds discovered were both a source of raw materials and led to the founding of hundreds of new colonies. Solitary vessels to over a dozen ships performed science missions for months or years at a time.<ref name="H:LoTI33"/><ref name="H:LoTI36">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 36: "Navy"</ref>
