E&R Corps

[Exploration & Research Corp.]

Exploration & Research Corporation was founded several hundred years ago at the then edge of Kusari space, with the intention of charting new systems for continued Kusarian expansion. Ties were formed with Samura and her contacts in the Corsair empire, the two providing backing to the small but established company in exchange for detailed surveys of the various asteroid belts and planetary systems E&R would come across on their expeditions.

Tragedy struck the company on what was to be their most ambitious venture yet. Trace signs of a new, unknown system in the Omegas led to the largest yet expedition of survey vessels and their Corsair escorts. E&R poured all of their resources into this, given the abundance of precious resources in the Omega 7 and 11 systems.

All contact was lost with the team, an unstable jumphole being the official reason for their demise. No reason was given as to why a rescue operation was not launched, but the tabloids of the day blamed the dangers posed by terrorists known to frequent the Omega systems of Sirius. Samura quietly severed ties with E&R, leaving the small company to fade into obscurity.
