At Galathea Station – powered by the fusion of tomorrow – our robust 250 MW reactor runs on the most abundant element in the cosmos: interstellar hydrogen. This cutting-edge power source hums through the station, electrifying the grid and creating a symphony of life and light in the inky void of space.
Galathea Holdings LLC is proud to present the reimagined Galathea Station, an oasis that emerged from the vision of the enigmatic Director.

Official Position on Historical Operations of RP-55
As part of Galathea Holdings LLC's commitment to transparency and historical accuracy, we find it necessary to disclose certain operational strategies from the era of Research Platform 55 that have informed our current procedural manuals. These strategies, reflective of a different epoch in the development of space-based living and research, comprise a record of measures that, while once deemed necessary, have since been thoroughly reviewed and revised.
To fully iterate, these measures included, but were not limited to:
- Detainment of civilians under non-normative conditions,
- Implementation of compulsory labor systems,
- Distribution of sustenance on a performance-based metric,
- Quarantine practices invoking prolonged solitary confinement,
- Enforced participation in high-risk research protocols,
- Utilization of psychological stress tests beyond recommended standard limits,
- Surveillance operations with invasive methodologies,
- Programmatically sanctioned social stratification,
- Administration of experimental stimuli without conventional consent frameworks,
- Employment of coercive incentivization relating to essential goods and privileges,
- Discretionary enforcement of disciplinary protocols without external oversight,
- Execution of crisis simulations resulting in sustained emotional trauma.
It is with the hindsight these operations provide that Galathea Holdings LLC has structured a more humane, ethical, and just governance. These historical practices, now decommissioned, have been replaced with rigorous standards of conduct respectful of individual rights and freedoms, and a dedication to the promotion of well-being for all members of the Galathea community.
Present strategies embrace the most advanced socio-ethical principles, ensuring that Galathea Station both meets and exceeds contemporary expectancies for responsible station administration. Consequently, any suggestion that past operational strategies would resurface under current management is unfounded and not indicative of the exemplary environment for which Galathea Station is celebrated.
Galathea Holdings LLC is highly focused on advancing the frontier of space habitation responsibly, always learning from the past to illuminate a path toward an enlightened and sustainable future. Our residents and visitors can trust in our enduring devotion to maintaining Galathea Station as a paragon of modern interstellar society.
