Space is vast, wondrous, and above all else profitable. Hazardous asteroid belts hide vast fortunes waiting to be strip-mined, nebulas house exotic gasses with significant industrial applications, and fertile, uninhabited (or mostly uninhabited, if you play it fast and loose with the law and common decency) worlds hover idly in the void, eagerly waiting to be claimed, colonised, exploited. All for the bottom line greater good.
Naturally, such a coldly materialistic purpose is bad for the brand, and so Globex's PR campaigns tend to focus on the Savant-class' contributions to the sciences and the occasional fantastical discovery - especially if said discovery is made by a sufficiently photogenic explorer.
