	An '''expedition''' is a community-driven event where a large group of pilots journey together to distant locations across the [[galaxy]]. A big expedition can have thousands of participants. These can be [[independent]] [[Pilot\|pilots]] or [[squadrons]]. The duration is usually a few weeks or months. Logistics are very important for the success of an expedition. It requires planning, organizing, and management of all resources and processes. The number of participants often declines along the way due to abandonment.

			== Organization ==
			An expedition requires a leader to coordinate the management and the voyage. The management takes care of the logistics and participants. This requires planning, organizing, and managing all the resources and processes. The members take part in the trip and follow directions. The number of participants often declines along the way due to abandonment.

			==== Carriers ====
			There can a few official Fleet Carriers with designated roles:

			* Fleet Carrier 1: the main fleet pace ship and medical ship for escape pod recovery.
			* Fleet Carrier 2: a science project mission hub and transport
			* Fleet Carrier 3: the main logistics, mining, and rescue ship with [[Search and Rescue\|SAS support]].

			You can manually fly to a waypoint or dock with a registered ship at a carrier which will transport you to the waypoint.
