"The Empire's mapping and exploration divisions are attached to the Imperial Navy. These frontier scouts help expand the Empire's borders by identifying worlds primed for conquest or exploitation."

They were a sister branch of the Imperial Survey Corps. Its primary training establishment was the Imperial Exploration Academy in the Vanik system.
