UEEF Explorer Corps OCC

   The Galaxy is extraordinary vast.  Scouring it even for a ship as large as the SDF-3 is nearly an impossible task. Even with good leads, powerful sensors and an idea of where it could be, it makes finding a needle in a haystack seem easy.
   The UEEF realizes that what it needs are experts in exploring the galaxy, of which humans have a fairly few. This is not the first time such experts have been needed. During the war with the Invid Regent, humanity explored numerous alien worlds the likes which human kind had never imagined. It quickly became apparent that a new training program was needed for a new type of operative: a space explorer. One who could adapt to incredible situations and environments, and who could quickly assess and understand alien environments, cultures and technology. The UEEF needed people who not only were trained to go where angels feared to tread, but who could make sense of the universe for the high command.
   Exploration Specialist may operate as an independent agent or as a member of a team. They are trained to be creative, open minded and to think outside the box. Part of the job is to stay flexible and calm in the face of the unimaginable. That means a well-trained Exploration Specialist does not flinch under pressure or when faced to face with strange alien beings who may seem hostile or dangerous.
   While Exploration Specialist are the heart of the Explorer Corps, the Corps contains personnel of all professions and skill sets, from those needed to crew spacecraft and maintain equipment, to combat troops and mecha pilots to escort and protect members of the Corps and innocent civilians, and fight monsters. However, it is the Exploration Specialist who first set foot on alien worlds, assess the situation, make recommendations on how best to proceed, make first contact with new civilizations and help to decipher the mysteries of the galaxy.
