To boldly go...

"To boldly go where no man has gone before..." Well thousands have visited the Galaxy sim now.

Galaxy is the base of Test station 3, run by the Federation, a circular space station hovering at an altitude of about 250 m. The nearby sim Aeon houses the offices of Starfleet Command and a 3rd sim, Constellation, is under construction. Many Star Trek fans come here to do role playing.




The Galaxy sims is the largest Star Trek cluster on the grid (sofar), but there are other Trekkies inworld.

Dancing Stormtroopers

On the other hand, try to imagine the stormtroopers dancing the jig in the Empire strikes back...
