Great Expedition

The Great Expeditions are initiatives to explore large sections of the Universe at once. The methods have differed over time as different technology and needs have evolved, but the principle has remained the same. The goal is to survey large portions of space together in case a greatly advanced civilization exists in a certain spot. A highly mobilized force would be able to better tackle any hostile threats against the current explored universe.
