Explorer status is granted to members of the Academy who are exceptional enough to be given a chance of advancement into their elite: Medics, Engineers or even Espers. To test their mettle and weed out the weak, the Explorers are sent on dangerous missions, but they're also trusted with more expensive equipment, like their iconic hazmat suits.
