Galatia Academy

	"The Academy was founded pre-collapse, a humble institution of research and higher education on the grand frontier of the Domain. The dual foci were practical matters in the fields from applied terraforming to engineering sciences and the more theoretical pursuits including study of local astrophysics and xenobiology. The Collapse of course, changed everything, and in the following cycles..."

The Galatia Academy is an interstellar research institution and university in the Sector. Its campus is located in orbit of Pontus, a gas giant in the Galatia Star System.

The Academy provides the Galatia Academy mission chain, the main story element of the game in Starsector 0.95a. A number of repeatable missions are also provided here until the completion of "At The Gates".

History

Around the end of cycle 205, the Academy under Provost Tomas Kallichore conducted experiments to reactivate the inactive gate in the Galatia system. The team used an energy pulse aiming to get a response from the gate, but instead destabilized all jump points in the system, causing local panic and prompting the miners of Derinkuyu Mining Station to turn to piracy. The situation was resolved with the aid of the player character.

In response, the Hegemony forced Kallichore to sign "a range of burdensome contracts" and, after a trial, imprisoned him and several team leaders. Anahita Baird took over as Provost, and began pursuing a new line of research relating to the gates, using the player character to conduct various operations towards reactivating the Gate network. This included having the Academy pay the player a monthly stipend.
