LFG: Exploration/Colonization/Research-based factions

[Kauket]

The research based groups I can think of are currently A/)- and SLRC| and maybe HS> to an extent

But every group has a research wing to some degree.

For the best opportunity, I say play with SLRC, since they are neutral and do not get into combat as frequently. Every group has their own ideology, philoshopy, doctrine and understanding, that's up to you what type of politics you like to play along with.
