The Astrographic Studies Center, also known as the New Republic Astrogation Studies Center, was a government-funded research institution. Its mission was to collect data about planets and star systems situated beyond the New Republic's territorial limits.
The main research goal of the Center was to study planets with pro-Imperial governments, as well as neutral or otherwise affiliated planets. The New Republic's main databases, including those of the New Republic Defense Force, had insufficient information about these planets.
Treta Zollarcos worked as a staff member there.
