Vignette - 'Decisions, Decisions' by Lily Harper While each ship is largely self-supporting and self-maintaining, the exigencies of their missions may occasionally require the activation of a Fleet Advance Support Base or even direct assistance from a sufficiently advanced system. Ship missions may range from brokering social and diplomatic agreements between conflicting parties to rescue, repair, and remediation efforts after a large scale infrastructure malfunction, natural disaster, or failed ascension attempt. Fleet vessels are able to deploy a large and diverse array of vessels, devices, and infrastructure in support of exploration, system development, and rendering assistance to worlds and systems in need.

The Andian Mission Outer Volumes Assistance Fleet consists of tens of thousands of vessels rendering aid to thousands of Outer Volumes star systems each year. The core Mission eventually developed into an archival data storage concern, while the Andian Mission Assistance Fleet remains a highly regarded support organization in the Carina-Vela Outer Volumes and beyond the Aquila Rift. While the core organization soon ossified and lost sight of the original goals, the active arm remained much the same as when it was started due to the amount of interstellar travel. This idealistic organization managed to contact hundreds of lost worlds, doing much good in the following millennia. The Mission was based on a mixture of tolerant and pragmatic NoCoZo philosophies and managed to get support both from the Sophic League and the Mutual Progress Association. In the wake of the Version War and in the spirit of the ComEmp, the Andian Mission was instituted in 4744 by some groups in the NoCoZo to help the badly damaged, isolated, or poor systems of the Outer Volumes as well as try to contact the remaining fleets that were unaware of the end of the war.
