Expedition

The Expedition Chapter devotes itself to the investigation of lost civilizations and ancient history, and to the recovery of lost technology and Holy Relics. Expedition dates back to the late nineteenth century and the waning years of the British Empire. The British culture at that time valued exploration and the recovery of treasures of antiquity. This spawned a short spat of expedition companies which were patroned by wealthy aristocrats back home. It was from this hodgepodge of explorers, adventurers and mercenaries that spawned the modern day Expedition Chapter. 
== Facts: ==
-Expedition is composed of archaeologists, treasure hunters, mercenaries and historians. They operate largely in the academic / mercenary world where big bucks can be made, but only if you hook a headline making archaeological discovery.
-The Orders Conquistador, Corsair, Scribe and Seeker are all strong supporters of the Expedition Chapter.
-Expedition doesn't really involve itself in politics - they exist to seek out lost technologies in the remote places of the world.
-The Chapter is diminished because the so-called Era of Archaeology is coming to a close. National boundaries, privatization of land and Antiquities Authorities have made it exceptionally hard for treasure hunters to investigate, locate and purchase items of ancient history.
-The Chapter has recovered many items of arcane science and lost Holy Relics. If you pick a fight with the Chapter, they'll probably show up with powerful weapons.
