Consulary Office of Reconnaisance and Exploration

Despite its (intendedly misleading) name, this organisation of the Zhodani Consulate is no regular scout service. In fact, it is a highly secret intelligence agency specialised in covert survey and secret operations on non-tech and lowtech planets (TL 0-3) within both the Zhodani Consulate and the Imperium.

Most CORE-missions are designed in order to establish a Zhodani-friendly and Zhodani-influenced (controlled) government, enabling the Zhodani to use the planet as a naval base, or to gain access to the planets natural resources. Apart from these routine missions, CORE is also responsible for covert survey on newly discovered non-tech planets where a decision pro or contra interdiction hasto be made, and for the control of all existing interdictions.
