ExplorCorps scout ship

Exploration Corps scout ships were large star ships used by the Exploration Corps. They were most likely used to explore unknown areas of space. They were also used to meet with species wishing to join the republic.

ExplorCorps ships were were very large, but also very lightly armed. That was because it was mostly used for sensors and consumables. However it is likely that they had some weapons to protect against pirate attacks.

These ships were used extensively by the old jedi order and the old republic. A few of them were stationed on every ORD around 1,000 BBY. Later, during the time of the new republic, Luke Skywalker found out about them.
