Yay, it's back!
I was kind of wondering about what purpose does the Exploratory Fleet serves, in light of the fact that Avali tribes are interstellar nomadic groups. Am I right in assuming that tribal fleets generally only visit/colonize star systems that were mapped out beforehand by the Exploratory Fleet? What other functions does the EF serve, and how large is this fleet - or more specifically, if there are multiple smaller fleets within this overarching faction, how large is a typical task force? Do these groups travel with an armed escort in uncharted territory as a precaution?
