The Founder NRSS was a starship linked to the Bureau of Scouting and Exploration Services (also known as the NRSS or New Republic Scout Service). This vessel, equipped with solar fins, was docked at the Outer Region Foxar Scout Base.
It eventually embarked on a mission to explore planets across eight distinct star systems, seeking out precious natural resources like mineral deposits, with the goal of returning to Foxar Base. The crew consisted of Deeve, Jarsa, and the droids Effcee and REM-02. Finding just one significant vein would make the entire journey profitable, but the initial five planets yielded nothing. Furthermore, the Founder's solar fins sustained damage from Mynocks.
Deeve departed the Founder to scout the fifth planet on their itinerary. Given its hazardous, yet breathable, atmosphere, Deeve donned protective equipment and a mask before exiting the Founder. Jarsa was originally slated to stay on board to communicate with Deeve via comlink, but she later opted to repair the solar fin, with Effcee taking her place.
Prior to commencing his survey, and again after encountering a supposedly hostile, tentacled local, Deeve established contact with the Founder.
