Legend

this branch of the Jedi Knights was essentially a traveling training academy, despite its name. During the Old Republic, the ExplorCorps was made up of Jedi Padawans and their instructors, and provided these students with a chance to experience other cultures and civilizations first-hand. Many students encountered species they had never seen before, while others met species that no one had ever encountered. The ExplorCorps provided Jedi trainees with the chance to experience all the diversity of life throughout the galaxy, while reinforcing the belief that all species shared the same needs, desires, and dreams. The starship Chu'unthor served as the primary vessel of the ExplorCorps for many years, until its loss at Dathomir.
