'''Galaxa''' is a high science fantasy universe, where magic, technology, and divine forces shape the fate of entire galaxies. Created by the [[Divine Parents]], [[Esmerelea]] and [[Theadrid]], its vast civilizations span multiple planes of existence, each with its own rules of reality. Faith-powered deities, immortal beings, and cosmic entities influence the destinies of mortals, while powerful factions clash over the nature of existence itself. | '''Galaxa''' is a high science fantasy universe, where magic, technology, and divine forces shape the fate of entire galaxies.

Magic is divided into three unique systems—[[Magicka]], [[Astral]], and [[Teleka]]—each tied to a different plane, and interstellar societies range from primitive tribal worlds to intergalactic superpowers. The universe is filled with philosophical conflicts, technological wonders, and metaphysical mysteries, making it a realm where science and mysticism are forever entwined in an intricate cosmic dance. | Magic is divided into three unique systems—[[Magicka (Galaxa)]], [[Astral (Galaxa)]], and [[Teleka]]—each tied to a different plane, and interstellar societies range from primitive tribal worlds to intergalactic superpowers.
