Born aboard the Cupo Cruises Beluga's Bounty to Benedict and Godusa Etoilni, Galatia never had a planet to call home. She spent her youth assisting her mechanic father as he worked to keep the old cruise ship in working order. Even at an early age she showed a talent with words, especially when telling stories.

As she reached puberty, a long term passenger named Dr. Hakebyrne showed an interest in her and her uncanny ability to persuade people to her way of thinking. After spending some time helping him with his research (i.e. being his test subject) Hakebyrne concluded that she was one of a small number of humans born with a mutation which gave them unusual gifts.

He told her that the first time he had sailed on the Beluga's Bounty, long enough ago that Godusa had been pregnant with Galatia, the ship was caught in a solar storm that had been strong enough to knock out the navigation systems. The ship had been adrift for a tencycle as they waited for the storm to subside so that external repairs could be made. Hakebyrne theorised that this storm could have been a catalyst for the mutation.

Soon after coming to this conclusion, he departed for the libraries on Unity intent on finding any other examples of children exposed to solar storms in vitro.

Once she was old enough to be employed, she got a position in the Engineering Department. Slowly she worked her way up the ladder until she became a pilot with the Flight Crew. After a few years of flying her, the Beluga's Bounty was retired from the fleet. By this time she had saved up enough credits to get a small, second-hand ship of her own.

It was love at first sight. As an avid reader and storyteller, Galatia was a fan of the ancient mythologies of Earth, so when she saw The Abeona, a ship named after the Roman Goddess of Outward Travel, she knew that this was going to be her ship.
