Overview
Founded by Star League Defense Force Commanding General Nicholas Kinnol sometime before 2646,[1][2] and at one time headed by Admiral (and future Khan of Clan Snow Raven) Stephen McKenna,[3] the Star League Exploration Command was tasked with a similar mandate as that of the later ComStar organization.
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.[1][4]
The SLDF's Fourteenth Fleet worked in conjunction with the Explorer Command during peacetime.[5]
Known Missions
In 2763 during the leadup to the Amaris Coup, an SLDF exploration team stumbled across a covert Rim Worlds hidden facility deep in the Periphery. The SLDF forces were destroyed by the planet's defenders.[6]
