Formed in 925 from portions of the Galian Trade League, the Galian Federation is the heir of that earlier polity. This followed internal revolts in the Trade League between approximately 300 and 800.
The Galian Federation is considerably smaller than the earlier Trade League, having lost systems that now compose the Plavian League, Trindel Confederacy, Viyard Concourse, and Mische Conglomerate. Following several regional wars, culminating in the Battle of Coralee in 754, the Treaty of Umbrin (758) was signed establishing the independence of these groups.

It is speculated that a few ships might have been fitted with higher-quality drives obtained from their Third Imperium trade partners, but no confirmation is available.
