The New Republic Astrogation Studies Center, or Astrographic Studies Center, was the government-sponsored research organization dedicated to the gathering of information on planets and star systems that were located outside the boundaries of the New Republic.
The Center's primary focus for research was planets that held pro-Imperial governments, neutral or otherwise aligned planets on which the New Republic's central databases, which included those of the New Republic Defense Force, lacked sufficient detail.
Treta Zollarcos was a member of the staff.
