The Galatia Star System is a relatively small system, with a total of 3 worlds and only 2 markets, the system is overall under Hegemony control.

Despite this, it's a place of important due to it being the home of the Galatia Academy.

Galatia, Yellow Star

Galatia
A G2 type primary sequence star, estimated age is five billion years. Surface temperature is only about six thousand degrees, while core temperature could well exceed fifteen million degrees.

–In-Game Description

  • Center of the Galatia Star System


Ancyra (Galatia I), Arid World, Hegemony

Galatia I: Ancyra
A dry and old world with a sluggish magnetic field partially stripped of volatiles by solar wind. There is evidence that Ancyra was once covered by shallow, warm seas: bleached dunes of salt, odd towers and ridges of uniquely crystallized silica, and a few briney aquifers tapped and exploited by human settlers.

–In-Game Description

The economy of Ancyra is dominated by Hegemony logistics. The light industry complex grew up on military contracts and now possesses the scale and legitimacy to make respectable inroads into the civilian commerce web of core Hegemony space.

Ancyra Orbital Facility

Ancyra Research Facility
Ancyra Station is a bastion of authority first constructed in the early days of Domain colonization of the Persean Sector. The armored hull-plates have been repaired and replaced so many times that it's unclear if any of the original remains. The facilities are not particularly comfortable, but rather than a sense of decline this lends the post an aura of austere dignity.

–In-Game Description

Recruitment holos greet incoming spacers - ""Join the Navy, see the Sector!"". A matte patch of wall-plating suggests that a cheeky addition to the slogan has already been removed by a maintenance drone.

–Secondary Description

  • Orbits Ancyra
  • Extension of Ancyra's colony

Ancyra Relay

Ancyra Relay
A Domain-era technology used primarily on the frontier, this is a hyperwave communications array which transmits and receives data between star systems at faster-than-light speeds. The rapidly pulsing hyperwaves suitable for FTL data transmission have been shown to damage DNA so these relays are always stationed away from habitats.

–In-Game Description

  • Orbits Galatia as Ancyra's L5 trojan


Galatia Gate (Inactive Gate)

  • Orbits Galatia inside a debris field


Pontus (Galatia II), Gas Giant

Galatia II: Pontus
Primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gasses. The temperature and pressure at the core are extreme, but not enough to sustain deuterium fusion that would turn the planet into a brown dwarf star.

–In-Game Description

  • Planetary Conditions
    • Note that as an uninhabited world, Pontus will have a range of market conditions that changes between playthroughs.
    • As a Gas Giant, it will always contains a randomly generated amount of volatiles.
    • Gravity high.png
      High Gravity: +50% hazard rating & -10% accessibility.
    • Hazard Rating: 150%+

Galatia Academy Station

Station galatia.png
The oldest and most prestigious independent university institution in the Persean Sector. The Galatia Academy is a top pick among the remaining universities of the core worlds. The office of Provost is an especially powerful position, able to draw upon connections with former alumni, influence new generations of the brightest - or richest - students, and direct cutting-edge research.

Derinkuyu Mining Station, Independent

Station mining00.png
Derinkuyu Station was built post-collapse on the superstructure of maintenance gantries intended for Atlas-class freighters. These were welded together and boosted out of Ancyra's orbit then stabilized in Galatian asteroid belt to serve as a base for mining operations. A recent lapse in public order involving the 'long walk' of the governing Hegemony colonel has seen control devolve to a loosely organized council of rogue miners.

–In-Game Description

Never a station which overwhelmed visitors with welcome, Derinkuyu now sports a fresh patchwork of emergency hull-seal plates and greets outsiders with suspicious looks traded between miners and lightly-armed MuniSec militia.

–Secondary Description

Tetra (Galatia III), Barren World

Galatia III: Tetra
Radiation from the nearby star ravages the surface world due to the lack of an atmospheric ozone layer. No significant geological activity. No indigenous life forms.

–In-Game Description

  • Planetary Conditions
  • Notes
    • Surrounded by several derelict ships, the player would come here to recover some of these ships as part of the tutorial, these derelicts where be here if the player skips the tutorial, making it a useful source of early game ships.
