The Envoy Corps is a diplomacy-focused society responsible handling the Brotherhood's efforts to build a positive image on the greater stage of the Galaxy. While it might look like a public-relations gambit by the Brotherhood, the Council has put their full weight and support behind the Envoy Corps altruistic and philanthropic endeavors.
Guided by the Exarch, the Envoy Corps accepts and assigns out contracts in the form of operations, bounties and missions that benefit communities, cultures, and systems that are in need of resources and support. This outreach initiative operates for the betterment of the Brotherhood's reputation among rival organizations and to cement their position of power beyond the Unknown Regions, all while bridging relationships between the Council and the Clans.
History
As the Brotherhood looked to rebuild its image as a powerful organization in the Unknown Regions that was unafraid to stand up to the likes of the Children of Mortis, Grand Master Evant Taelyan green lit a new initiative proposed by former High Councilor Alethia Archenksova in 40 ABY. This initiative would serve multiple purposes, with the primary being the improvement of the The Council's reputation with the seven Clans and their respective allies. Parallel in importance was the Brotherhood's image to both rivals and potential trade partners which, in theory, would lead to more opportunities for cementing their seat of power and the growth of commerce.
Alethia was appointed as the Brotherhood's first Exarch, and laid the foundation that would lead to eventual codification of the Envoy Corps.
When Archenksova was elevated to the Council role of Headmistress, she called upon a trusted college who been consulting remotely until that point. So it was that retired Voice of the Brotherhood - Marick Tyris Arconae - took over as the new Exarch. Tyris leveraged his extensive experience and background in overseeing the restructuring of the Inquisitorius, his respect with the active Council members aiding in clearing the administrative and technical hurdles required to bring the Envoy Corps to life.
With the Envoy Corps undertaking its first missions, Marick has begun to organize and deploy Brotherhood members and personnel.

Objective
TROUBLE IN THE OUTER RIM. On the remote planet JABIIM—once home to a base for the Hidden Path—survivors from the destruction of Hosnian Prime have settled into small mining communities to live peacefully and export the planet's lone resource of value. Peaceful, that was, until the opportunistic The Empty Eyes gang moved in, set up operations in an abandoned base and started to harass and prevent the locals from trading freely. The denizens of Jabiim have broadcasted a request for aid, but lack any real hope. Marick Tyris Arconae — Exarch of the Brotherhood — has put out a call to the newly formed Envoy Corps for their first operation.
Mission Log
After reaching Jabiim, the party split up, with Adem and Nicfer infiltrating the town while the others scouted and found the optimal attack vector. Adem and Nicfers efforts paid off by getting them back door access to the bases defenses, giving the rest of the team and advantage in the fight that followed.
In the end, the team was able to successfully apprehend Sylvian Blaine, putting an end to the Empty Eyes control over the remote mining town.
