Galat is the Galatian civilization’s home star. There are eight total planets in the system including two Jovian planets. The Galatian’s have explored all six of the terrestrial planets and are the first humans known to have explored more than one parallel dimension. Their footprint in Primus, the name they gave to their home dimension, is small with only a few stars colonized outside of Galat. However, especially after the start of the Fell War, the Galatians have expanded deep into what can only be described as alternative realities, but in each of these alternate realities the root world Galat has common anchor points.
There are to date 64 worlds under Galatian habitation, each of varying size, population, terrain and even physics. Consequently, the Galat Naval Academy requires all its vessels to be outfitted with trans-dimensional hyperdrive cores, called ILAD (Interdimensional Luminal Aethereal Drive) units. Every ship’s core is periodically updated with a current map for systems both in the Prime universe as well as both of the alternate realities where these vessels may be deployed. The calculations and complexities of physics that allow this form of transit are simply too great for human minds to handle; thus, all ships are also asynchronously interconnected by an advanced form of artificial intelligence named Logos.
Although other human civilizations (such as those living within fallen systems like Sol) do exist, the Galatians are by far the most advanced, possessing capabilities that are nothing short of miraculous and in some case run counter to Prime physics and thus must be carefully monitored and regulated. This is one of the key reasons for the use of specialized keys, called GaK’s which unlock such features. Regardless, the heart of Galatian sciences and production sits in the Galat system as part of a complex interdimensional weave network.
Of main interest to visitors and tourists are Galat 1 and Galat 5. These garden worlds have populations ranging from 2 to 6 billion with virtually no pollution. They are a Theocratic Monarchy, as with all core civilizations in heaven’s alliance, but are afforded exceptional freedom, creativity and opportunities to explore the wonders of science, art and culture. Key sites to visit include the Falls of Tianira on Galat 1. This is a collection of waterfalls on the northern continent of Damast where the water cascades down a 2500-foot, natural granite staircase. Then, on Galat 5, the Percillion Orchard of Lengdo in the southern island group by the same name. This 2000-acre terraced orchard of Percillion trees is interspersed with the planet’s single largest flower garden, a collection of flowers from every system in the Prime Galat civilization totaling nearly 30,000 different species of flowers. The orchard which is both above and below the ocean surface offers daily tours and features a hand-fasting chapel to celebrate family bond events.
