In addition, two older galaxies once existed that were merged to create Gemini:
* The Avalon Galaxy, once ruled by the scheming, reclusive Emperor William Cartheon, was eventually taking over by the [[The Chessmaster|slightly less scheming]] and [[A Child Shall Lead Them|very young]] Hogan Galle, who managed to rule the empire somewhat steadily for several years.
