'''Explorator Fleets''' are Fleets of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and overseen by [[Explorator]]s. {{Fn|1}} These Fleets seek to explore regions of the [[galaxy]] unclaimed by the [[Imperium of Man]], often venturing into uncharted and dangerous [[Xenos]] territory.{{Fn|1}} Upon contact with a new civilization, Explorator Fleets will typically judge its value, habitation levels, and request that a warfleet arrive and cleanse the planet of any alien civilizations.{{Fn|2}}
The first Explorator Fleets were dispatched from [[Mars]] during the [[Age of Strife]]. While [[Terra]] was still overcome by civil war and rampages by [[Techno-barbarian]]s, Mars had fallen under the control of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The [[Tech Priest]]s, wishing to discover lost technology and restore humanity's domain, dispatched exploration fleets into the [[Warp]] and even plundered the surface of Terra for [[STC]]'s.{{Fn|4}}
