- It lacks the population and means to expand its economy at this point in time.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Dienbach Subsector of Neworld Sector.

(Blank map, predominantly dry world.)
History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Solomani Security keeps as close an eye as it can on things to ensure the security of the Confederation and the well-being of its loyal citizens. Almost anyone could be a SolSec informant, passing on all sorts of useful information: some gain a reward or benefit for their actions, others are coerced, but a few see it as an act of duty to help protect the Solomani state and its interests.
- Dienabach Grüpen agents closely monitor SolSec activity and counter its moves, if necessary.
World Starport (St)[edit]
Galilee has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Galilee has a population of 600,000,000 sophonts (hundreds of millions).
- The population almost entirely consists of humans of Solomani descent.
