Editing Explorator Fleet

The '''Explorator Fleets''' are fleets sent by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] to explore less-known parts of the galaxy.

Their primary mission is to find lost technology, especially a working [[STC]] system (though printouts are also welcome).  Often, they find other things, like new worlds and civilizations, or worlds with which contact had been lost centuries before, or [[Forge World]]s founded by a previous expedition.  Often they find danger, which is why they bring along a detachment of [[Skitarii]], just in case.

Explorator Fleets tend to be crewed the most curious of [[tech-priests]], which means that when they find ancient tombs filled with impossibly advanced technology, they tend to poke around a little too hard and a little too deep, which wakes up the [[Necrons]] and causes lots of death (this happens in at least two of the [[Ciaphas Cain]] stories).  It's a seriously endemic problem, probably compounded by the fact that some tech-priests worship the Necrons as angels of the [[Omnissiah]].
