Background[]
Sailor Galaxia was born on an unknown planet, which she referred to as "trash", and lived alone and miserable for an unknown amount of time before discovering that she had the power of a Sailor Senshi. She deemed her world not good enough and so started on a quest to find a place she deemed worthy.
While wandering the universe in search of purpose she destroyed at least one world she saw as worthless as her home world. e became aware of the existence of a place where all the stars were born. One day, she was stopped by an incarnation of Chaos, Wiseman, who told her of a place where all the stars were born. He directed her to the centre of the galaxy, Sagittarius Zero Star, where it could be found. Here she became acquainted with Chaos.
Under Chaos' tutelage Galaxia aimed to gather power, and to do so she collected all the Sailor Crystals she could find. She formed her base of operations at the Galaxy Cauldron, the birthplace of the stars, and built an empire that she called Shadow Galactica, with her power centered at her castle, Galactica Palace. As she ruined worlds in her quest for Sailor Crystals, she gained followers to whom she promised power in return for their service, and would kill everyone else. Some of these recruits were Sailor Guardians themselves while others had killed the Sailor Guardians of their home planets and stole their Sailor Crystals under Galaxia's order. For the later, Galaxia would grant them the Sailor Crystal's power and they would became the Sailor Animamates.
Sailor Galaxia knew Chaos was only guiding her in order to have Galaxia do its dirty work. She was not powerful enough to defeat Chaos alone, and as a result she planned to use the strongest Sailor Crystal, the Silver Crystal, to defeat Chaos. Galaxia planned to goad and torment Sailor Moon with the goal of having the Silver Crystal direct her rage at Chaos killing them both leaving Galaxia as the uncontested ruler of the Galaxy Cauldron.
Stars arc[]
Sailor Galaxia targets Earth when the Silver and Golden Crystals announce themselves to the galaxy when they radiate power to defeat Queen Nehelenia. Sailor Galaxia first kills Mamoru and captures the Golden Crystal in front of Usagi. She and her minions then slowly pick off the Solar System Sailor Guardians and take their Sailor Crystals mocking Sailor Moon as she does so. She does not expect her minions to succeed but thanks Sailor Phi for providing an entertaining show regardless. Eventually the Outer Sailor Guardians try to erect a shield around the solar system but Galaxia hunts them down herself.
With all of Sailor Moon's defenders defeated, Galaxia approaches Usagi untransformed and attacks. This obliterates a large part of Tokyo and is on the verge of destroying the planet. Usagi summons her Holy Moon Chalice and aims to fight back but visions of her dead friends and Galaxia's words sap her confidence and she faints instead. Before Galaxia is able to destroy the planet, Chibi Chibi banishes Galaxia to Galactica Palace and repairs the damage done. While Usagi is knocked out, Galaxia shows her the Galaxy Cauldron and lures her to the Zero Star.
Sailor Moon arrives at Galaxia's base and finishes Galaxia's minions on her way to Galactica Palace. As this happens, all of the Sailor Crystals that were collected are gathered into growing Garden Crystals. Galaxia even creates manipulated versions of Sailor Moon's friends, using their Sailor Crystals, and forces Sailor Moon to kill them on her way. She keeps Tuxedo Mask around, however, to further torment the girl. Galaxia and Sailor Moon fight and their philosophies clash. When Sailor Moon insists her power comes from hope and desire to protect her friends, not anger, Galaxia gets frustrated and runs. She leads Sailor Moon to the Galaxy Cauldron where Chaos awaits.
Here, she makes Sailor Moon watch as she throws all of the Sailor Crystals Shadow Galactica collected into the Cauldron alongside Mamoru. This makes Sailor Moon release her power as she cries in pain. Now at the moment she working toward, Galaxia tries to knock Sailor Moon, and her unleashed power, into the Cauldron but Sailor Chibi Chibi stops her. Chaos begins to awaken and Galaxia presents to wielder of the Silver Crystal to it as they had originally planned, while still planning to pit them against each other, but Chaos attacks Galaxia knocking her out. Sailor Moon; however, saves her and shelters her within her shield as Chaos awakens.
When she wakes up she is outraged and scolds Sailor Moon for saving her enemy. She accepts that Chaos never valued her and finds that Sailor Moon has lost her will to fight. With the end of the Sailor Guardians eminent, Sailor Chibi Chibi steps in and begs Sailor Moon to end both Chaos and the Galaxy Cauldron. To end everything. Galaxia rejects Chibi Chibi's idea that the end of the Cauldron would end all conflict and it would eventually spring up again somewhere else in the future continuing the cycle of light and darkness. Sailor Moon agrees and her care for the distant future leads Sailor Galaxia to realize the Sailor Moon is the one worthy of her she had been looking for, but as she does so her bracelets shatter killing her. Sailor Moon picks up Galaxia's Lazurite Crystal as she tells Chibi Chibi she won't give up on the future.
Sailor Guardian Info[]
Sailor Galaxia was the most powerful Sailor Guardian in the Milky Way other than Eternal Sailor Moon and can trade blows with her. Galaxia can easily destroy planets by simply pointing at them. She was about to destroy Earth while not transformed before Chibi Chibi stopped her.
She can also point at her enemies to obliterate them leaving nothing but dust and their Sailor Crystal behind. She can also generate lightning around herself when displaying her powers. For the most part, Galaxia seems to be able to control energy of a cosmic origin, as seen in her attack, Galactica Super String. She's had instances of using Telekinesis and Telepathy to further her plans, mostly in her encounters with Sailor Moon. Like any other Senshi, she has the power of flight. She can travel quickly and ambushes her prey before they can even react. She teleports between Sagittarius Zero Star and Earth several times throughout the arc.
