			==History==
			The GTD ''Galatea'' was an ''Orion''-class destroyer that served in both the [[Terran-Vasudan War]] and the [[Great War]]. Little is known about the ship's actions preceding the start of the Main FreeSpace Campaign.

	~~The~~ ''Galatea'' took part in ~~acquiring~~ the ~~Shivans' shield technology and acquiring enough information about their ships to be targettable on sensors. After~~ the ~~outbreak of~~ the [[~~Hammer of Light~~]] ~~rebellion~~, the ~~''Galatea'' led strikes against HoL targets. In an attempt to destroy an HoL depot, the ''Galatea'' came under attack by Shivan bombers~~ and ~~cruisers who had already destroyed~~ the ~~Hammer depot. Fortunately,~~ the ~~ship escaped with only minor battle damage~~.		Pilots stationed on board the ''Galatea'' took part in some of the last operations of the Terran-Vasudan War in the [[Antares]] system, including the [[Avenging Angels\|capture of]] [[Alexander McCarthy]] and the reacquisition of the [[GTW Avenger\|Avenger prototype]] cannon.

	~~Less fortunate was~~ the ~~battle where kamikaze Hammer~~ of ~~Light units attacked~~ the ''Galatea''~~, while she was~~ in ~~transit to~~ the [[~~Beta Aquilae~~]] ~~system~~. The ~~ship~~ took ~~moderate damage from~~ the ~~kamikaze fighters and~~ the ~~kamikaze Hammer~~ of ~~Light Aten cruiser~~.		Her pilots were among the first to verify the existence of the [[Shivans]]. In the opening stages of the [[Great War]], the ''Galatea'' took part in the acquisition of the Shivans' [[shield\|shield technology]] and successfully acquired enough information about their ships to render them visible to sensors. The ''Galatea''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> pilots also took part in the capture of the [[SC Taranis\|SC ''Taranis'']], the [[First Strike\|first attempt]] to capture a major Shivan vessel. Although this operation was successful, the subsequent destruction of Tombaugh Station by the [[SD Lucifer\|SD ''Lucifer'']] forced the ''Galatea''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> pilots to [[The Aftermath\|provide cover]] for the survivors of that attack.

	~~Alongside with Admiral Wolf~~, the ''Galatea'' was ~~destroyed~~ by the ~~[[SD Lucifer\|SD~~ ''~~Lucifer~~''~~]] immediately after her bombers succeeded~~ in ~~destroying the~~ [[~~SD Eva~~\|~~SD ''Eva'']]. The surviving crew were assigned to the [[GTD Bastion\|GTD ''Bastion''~~]].		Following a large [[Hammer of Light]] offensive in the Antares system, the ''Galatea'' led a counteroffensive against HoL positions in that system. The battle was complicated by the interference of Shivan forces, which attacked both sides indiscriminately. The ''Galatea'' herself was later involved in [[La Ruota della Fortuna\|a skirmish with Shivan forces]] who had previously wiped out an HoL cargo depot.

			The destroyer was later ordered to the [[Beta Aquilae]] system to bolster the defenses of the [[Vasuda Prime\|Vasudan homeworld]]. She was [[Tenderizer\|ambushed at the node by HoL forces]], sustaining moderate damage, but managed to reach Beta Aquilae. However, Shivan forces somehow managed to circumvent the allied blockade, forcing the ''Galatea'' to enter [[Deneb]] in order to intercept Shivan forces before they entered [[Vasuda]].

			During the [[Battle of Deneb (2335)\|Battle of Deneb]], although her bombers succeeded in destroying the [[SD Eva\|SD ''Eva'']], the ''Galatea'' was [[Doomsday\|destroyed]] by the [[SD Lucifer\|SD ''Lucifer'']]. Admiral Wolf opted to stay on board rather than abandon ship. The surviving crew were assigned to the [[GTD Bastion\|GTD ''Bastion'']].

			==Notes==
	Volition explicitly stated that the ''Galatea'' is not the Orion shown in the FS2 intro. This destroyer is instead commonly referred to as the [[GTD Legion\|GTD ''Legion'']].
