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. | An '''expedition''' is a community-driven event where a large group of pilots journey together to distant locations across the [[galaxy]].
