Galaxion
Life. Love. Hyperspace.
Galaxion is a science fiction comic book and webcomic series written and drawn by Tara Tallan. The story follows the crew of an interstellar ship, the Galaxion, as they test a new experimental hyperdrive engine.
As the story starts, the more military Interplanetary Patrol (IP) has required the Galaxion from the civilian Terran Space Administration (Ter SA) for said experiment. After the hyperspace jump, the Galaxion is apparently still in the same place. But nobody is responding their calls. The crew starts to investigate what happened.
Tropes used in Galaxion include:
- Aerith and Bob: Much more Aerith with names such as Fusella, Scavinia, Zandarin, but there are Bobs as well - Alex, Anna, Patty
- Alien Invasion: Type II
- Alternate Universe / Alternate History: After the jump, the cosmos at large seems to be the same, including the species - but histories and languages appear completely different.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Zan, appears to be this.
- Cool Starship: The Galaxion. Although not a Starship Luxurious, the design prefers human comfort to cold efficiency.
- Grand Theft Me: supposedly what the Miesti did to the Rautani
- Hair of Gold: Aria Schaefer, pictured in the comic's logo.
- Painting the Fourth Wall: The Orehu's language is done in a flower-y unreadable script
- Nice Hat: Patty has a reputation for these
- Rebus Bubble: What's a common phrase meaning you just said something embarrassing?
