                              Command : EXPLORE

 SYNTAX:
   [mc ##] Command : explore <ITEM> <SECT> <NUMBER> <PATH>

The explore command is used to examine unowned land, and to stake  your  claim
to one particular unowned sector.  You specify either civilians or military to
perform the explore, the sector from which they will start, the number of peo-
ple to explore with, and the path they will take.

If you do not enter a complete  <PATH>  on  the  command  line,  a  survey  of
resources  will  be displayed at the end of each partial move as well as a map
of the adjoining sectors.

The Empire view movement character will show the current  sector's  efficiency
and some of the contents.

In terms of mobility cost, the explore command acts exactly as does  the  move
command.
