'''Exploration Base''' {{j|開拓基地|Kaitaku Kichi}} is a location on the planet [[Aeos]], appearing in ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]''. It is located on the [[Northern Coast]] near the [[Landing Point]] of [[SRF-003 Calnus|SRF-003 ''Calnus'']].

== Story ==
Upon returning to the Calnus after discovering the fate of the [[SRF-005 Eremia|SRF-005 ''Eremia'']], [[Edge Maverick]] and [[Reimi Saionji]] discover an [[Eldarian]] Exploration Base instead of their spaceship. Here, they meet with [[Grafton|Captain Grafton]], who explains them the relation between [[Eldar]] and [[Earth]]. After this, they are shown the upgraded ''Calnus'', and Edge is promoted to captain of the Calnus. Edge is then given the task to proceed with the [[Space Reconnaissance Force]] mission of exploring colonizable planets. The ''Calnus'' then departs for [[Lemuris]].

After the events on [[Roak]], the ''Calnus'' is given the order to investigate the lack of communication with the personnel on Aeos. As they arrive on the planet, they find a destroyed Exploration Base.
