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]].

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.

* '''[[~~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.

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.
