The World of Galatea: A Glimpse into a Future Forged in Rebellion

Every great saga has an origin, and the Galatean Saga is no exception. Before the wars, before the blockade, before the cold silence stretched between Earth and the Moon, there was a single undeniable truth—humanity would always seek to expand.

But expansion breeds control. And control breeds resistance.

The Birth of Galatea: A Colony That Became a Nation

Two hundred and fifty years before the events of KoS: Invasion, the Moon was a scientific outpost, a proving ground for humanity’s ambition. What started as a collection of research stations and industrial complexes grew into something more—a society capable of surviving without Earth.

As history often repeats itself, the moment a colony becomes self-sufficient, the forces that once nurtured it try to rein it back in. Rules were imposed. Regulations tightened. Tensions rose. Until one day, they could no longer be contained.

The rebellion that started in 2170 set everything in motion. The war that followed—the Independence Wars—was brutal, costly, and unrelenting. Despite Earth’s greater numbers, the superior technology and an unbreakable will allowed the rebels to hold their ground. After ten years of war, Earth abandoned the fight, but they never truly accepted defeat.

🎧 Every revolution has its sound. Every war has an anthem. If you want to hear the pulse of Galatea—the fire, the sacrifice, the defiance—then start with the music. Moonborn: Songs of Defiance is more than an album—it’s a war cry, a historical record, a testament to those who stood when the stars burned.

The result? A coldest war—a total severance of relations, a blockade that ensured Earth’s resources never reached Galatea, and Galatean technology never returned to Earth.

A Society Built on Efficiency, Technology & Survival

Galateans did not have the luxury of excess. With limited resources and no external support, they shaped a society built on efficiency, logic, and controlled expansion.

🔹 The Verse – A fully integrated digital network connecting every citizen, enhancing productivity, education, and even social interactions.
🔹 Genetic Enhancements – Not vanity, but survival. Designed to improve health, longevity, and adaptation to the Moon’s harsh conditions.

A pragmatic, logical, and sometimes ruthless society emerged from necessity.

Earth & Galatea: A Divide Rooted in Fear

With no contact between the two civilizations, fear replaced understanding.

Earthlings whispered of genetically engineered abominations, of artificial intelligence beyond control, of a people no longer fully human. Stories turned to myths, and myths turned to reason for preparing for war.

But Galateans saw Earth as a dying relic—wasteful, leisurely, bound by outdated systems, and clinging to power through force rather than innovation.

For a century, both sides prepared for the battle they believed was inevitable.
