Legend

this planet, located in the Utos System of Farlax Sector, was the homeworld of the Fia. Galantos was found in the Core Worlds, just outside the bounds of the Koornacht Cluster. Its surface was covered with gelatinous pools which were dotted with small islands. The crust of the planet was broken into tectonic plates, and the landmasses were subjected to regular seismic vibrations. Thus, the cities built by the Fia had to withstand strong seismic activity. Most of the transportation on Galantos was based on balloons, which allowed them to move about with investing in roadways that could be damaged by earthquakes. When Borsk Fey'lya was named the Chief of State of the New Republic, he chose to ignore Galantos and the Fia as unimportant, an act which later led the Fia to break off communications with the Republic while negotiating with the Yuuzhan Vong.
