Magic is divided into three unique systems—[[Magicka (Galaxa)|Magicka]], [[Astral (Galaxa)|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.

== Overview ==

'''Galaxa''' is one of the vastest universes in [[the Yonder Realm]], yet it is still '''dwarfed by [[Kosmos]]'''. It is a realm of '''science fantasy''', where advanced civilizations harness both '''technology and mysticism''', and where '''[[Divine Parents]], mortals, and cosmic forces''' shape the destiny of entire galaxies.

Line 29:

Galaxa is defined by '''five major planes of existence''', each fueling different aspects of reality. It is a place of '''philosophical extremes''', where societies debate and fight over the nature of '''magic, technology, and existence itself'''.

== Planes of Existence ==

== Planes and Dimensions of Existence ==

Galaxa is structured across '''five major planes of existence''' and '''one separate dimension''', each playing a unique role in its cosmic order:

* '''[[Median Plane]]''' – The '''central plane''', where '''mortals exist, and the cycle of life and death occurs'''.

* '''[[Median Plane (Galaxa)]]''' — The '''central plane''', where '''mortals exist, and the cycle of life and death occurs'''.

* '''[[Prison Dimension (Galaxa)|Prison Dimension]]''' – A '''sealed domain''', containing '''[[Primordial Horrors]] and Eldritch entities''' from the early chaos of Galaxa's formation. This dimension is adjacent in placement to the five planets to prevent it from interacting with the [[Median Plane]].

* '''[[Prison Dimension (Galaxa)|Prison Dimension]]''' — A '''sealed domain''', containing '''[[Primordial Horrors]] and Eldritch entities''' from the early chaos of Galaxa's formation. This dimension is adjacent in placement to the five planets to prevent it from interacting with the [[Median Plane (Galaxa)|Median Plane]].

* '''[[Astral Plane]]''' – A plane of '''energy and willpower''', forming the foundation of '''psionics and soul manipulation'''.

* '''[[Astral Plane (Galaxa)]]''' — A plane of '''energy and willpower''', forming the foundation of '''psionics and soul manipulation'''.

* '''[[Teleka Plane]]''' – The source of '''[[Teleka]] magic''', a force understood only by dedicated adepts.

* '''[[Teleka Plane]]''' — The source of '''[[Teleka]] magic''', a force understood only by dedicated adepts.

* '''[[~~Aethereal~~ Plane]]''' – The '''foundation of [[Magicka (Galaxa)|Magicka]]''', existing as a shifting realm of raw mystical energy.

* '''[[Ethereal Plane (Galaxa)]]''' — The '''foundation of [[Magicka (Galaxa)|Magicka]]''', existing as a shifting realm of raw mystical energy.

* '''[[Celestial ~~Plane~~]]''' – The '''afterlife''', where the '''souls of the deceased''' return to their divine origin.

* [[Liminal Dimension|'''Liminal Dimension''']] — The [[Planes and Dimensions|Dimension]] in which the [[Astral Plane (Galaxa)|Astral Plane]], [[Median Plane (Galaxa)|Median Plane]], [[Ethereal Plane (Galaxa)|Ethereal Plane]], and [[Teleka Plane]] exist.

* '''[[Celestial Dimension (Galaxa)|Celestial Dimension]]''' — The '''afterlife''', where the '''souls of the deceased''' return to their divine origin.

These planes function '''independently''' but can influence one another when magic or divine intervention occurs.

Line 68:

Though Teleka is a single system, its practice is '''fractured across five major factions''', each with distinct goals and beliefs:

* '''[[The Order of Light]]''' – Seeks '''purity and enlightenment''', believing Teleka should be wielded with discipline.

Line 100:

Interstellar travel was '''originally limited''' by the '''Divine Constant of the Speed of Light''', a law placed by the '''First Divine Parents''' to prevent species from reaching one another too soon. However, through '''divine inspiration and technological advancements''', species eventually '''harnessed magic systems''' to bypass this limitation.

* '''[[Teleka Drive|Teleka Drives]]''' – The [[Valdian Empire]] were the most notable society to have first developed it, allowing ships to move faster than light, by phase between [[Median Plane]] and [[Teleka Plane]].

* '''[[Teleka Drive|Teleka Drives]]''' – The [[Valdian Empire]] were the most notable society to have first developed it, allowing ships to move faster than light, by phase between [[Median Plane (Galaxa)|Median Plane]] and [[Teleka Plane]].

* '''[[Astral Folding]]''' – Used by psionic societies to travel by sheer willpower. Pure Emotional Control is required, if not fully disciplined results can catastrophic.

* '''[[Sigil Jump Drive]]''' – A slow and laborious form of [[Space Travel (Galaxa)|FTL Travel]] it takes days to weeks to warm up, but results in instant travel.
