The Royal Caledonian Expeditionary Service (RCES) is analogous to the Imperial Scouts.

The RCES operates a fleet of small scouts and larger research vessels (many of the latter chartered from larger merchant firms, although a few are owned by the RCES) in four major operational areas:

  • Exploring the systems to coreward, between the Principality and the Great Rift.
  • Monitoring Aslan activities to spinward
  • Patrolling the various worlds in the no-man's-space between the driftward edge of the Principality and the troubled Imperial border.
  • Reconnoitering the various fractions systems to rimward.

The RCES is a separate service, although its personnel drawn from the Navy (for operational duties) and various academic and commercial scientific bodies for research personnel.
