Rationale
The A.C.E was founded by an prominent Varanus noble dissatisfied with how much the state-owned Serpentum Exploration guild has changed,it shifted from being an organization dedicated to exploring new worlds now it was focused on helping the military search for the lost frigates instead of "exploring" the new galaxy the Imperium found themselves in.
With the approval of the Emperor and the integration of Farnin into the Imperium the noble founded the A.C.E alongside an bright collection of like-minded scientests and explorers.Creating an new exploration guild as an independent company owned by an partnership of it's founders and shaped by the bright minds who work within.
