The first ships of the Kusari Explorer type were built in 490 A.S., the period when space exploration was considered very important for the House of Kusari. Bearing a power array and weapon systems similar to a Gunboat, the Explorers were reliable enough to spend long months and even years completely alone with a small crew onboard, mapping remote systems and seeking uncharted jump holes. These years, the period of active space exploration is over for Kusari, but not for the Gas Miners Guild who are constantly seeking new mineable areas in the Sirius nebulas and use many Explorer-type vessels to increase research efficiency. Several Explorers also stay on in service with the Kusari Naval Forces.

The several Kusari explorers that remain in use by the Kusari Naval Forces are now exclusively used by its exploration wing.
