'''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.

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.

The '''technological landscape''' of Galaxa is '''highly diverse''', with some societies thriving in '''advanced interstellar civilizations''', while others remain '''pre-industrial or even tribal'''. There is no single technological standard—advancement varies drastically based on a society’s '''culture, magic affinity, and ethical stances'''.
