Explorer
An explorer is an intrepid adventurer who seeks fulfillment by truly going where no one has gone before. They are the scientific vagabonds of the Universe.
These daring individuals seek intellectual fulfillment among the stars, toting a scanner at their hip instead of a firearm. Explorers hail from all scientific backgrounds and walks of life, from freelance xenobiologists chasing their latest theories to officers working under the auspices of the Royal Space Administration or a similar organization. Many eschew personal relationships in favor of a life consisting of one deep space tour after another.
Missions
Many explorers trailblaze the Galaxy, taking a small ship and journeying into unknown regions to see what's there. Others study the minutiae of a given planet or ecosystem. While their individual pursuits differ, explorers tend to operate on their own agendas, using government grants and private trusts to fund their expeditions and research.
