	Maxim’s World is a cold planet occupied predominantly by Expeditionary Corps Outpost E-14b, the home of a joint survey and research operation between the [[Expeditionary Corps]] and the Colonial Pioneer Corps. This cooperative effort was established by the crew of the [[SEV Torch]] in the summer of 2310, just before the [[Timeline of Canon Events\|Nathan Hale attack]]. It’s noteworthy for the presence of an underground mycelium network that displays early signs of sapience.

	The SEV James Cook is one of the oldest active service vessels in the Expeditionary Corps, having entered service in 2150 and kept in service through a multitude of refits and overhauls, the Cook is a testament and reminder of the resourcefulness and determination shown by Expeditionary Corpsmen to keep waste low and to make do with what they have. A Newfoundland class vessel which, at the time, was built exclusively by the Terran Commonwealth for the Expeditionary Corps, it remains one of the few EC purpose built vessels and is equipped with a deployable radio telescope array and mounted observatory. The Cook is still a source of great value for the EC despite its reliance on dated and somewhat ancient technology as well as the use of older STL drives.
