TheGalaxy Expedition Team (Japanese:ギンガGinga-dan, literallyGalaxy Gang), or theGalaxy Team for short, is an organization based in theHisuiregion. It is made up of people from other regions who have come to study Hisui. It consists of several corps that are all lead by CommanderKamado. The shortened form of the name,Galaxy Team, also serves as aTrainer class for Kamado andBeni when they are battled.

The Galaxy Team shares many similarities toTeam Galactic from the modern day'sSinnoh. They share their Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese names. Both team's logos are also highly reminiscent of each other, Galaxy Team's resembling a fusion of Team Galactic's and the kanji(ぎん)gin, from the Japanese word銀河(ぎんが)ginga, meaning "galaxy". Additionally,Cyllene vows to pass down the name and accomplishments of the Galaxy Team to her descendants.[1]

The Galaxy Team appears only inPokémon Legends: Arceus. Theplayer character serves as one of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corp, acting as one of the important factors in pushing the game's story. The group has come to Hisui to settle and research the region, as such, they are responsible for buildingJubilife Village, due to Kamado's previous experience withwild Pokémon. The group is made up of people from other regions, includingHoenn,Alola, andGalar.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus

At the very beginning of the game, the player character winds up onPrelude Beach, not knowing of the location they are in. They are awakened by the Survey Corps'Professor Laventon, who they help catch the Pokémon that he had lost,Rowlet,Cyndaquil, andOshawott, and gets complimented on their skill on using the recently createdPoké Ball. The professor brings them to theGalaxy Hall in Jubilife Village, introducing them toCyllene, the head of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps, who provides the player with shelter until they can pass the test in joining the Galaxy Team. Being instructed byRei (if the player is female) orAkari (if the player is male), the player passes with flying colors, and is tasked to help in providing documentation onHisui's five sub-regions, starting with theObsidian Fieldlands. The nights prior to the beginning of the game, a horrible disaster has begun, with lightning coming down from thespace-time rift that rests atop ofMount Coronet, crashing down on certain locations of Hisui. The player has fallen from this rift themselves, to which the town and the Galaxy Team lack trust in, and use them as a way to gain information on the situation related to the space-time distortions that may occur.

The Galaxy Team is met with theDiamond andPearl Clans, who have lived in Hisui prior to them. These clans have a history of arguments due to having different beliefs and ideologies in a god they have named "Almighty Sinnoh." Both clans have theirleaders,Adaman andIrida, visit Jubilife Village to ask the Galaxy Team for help. The lightning from the space-time rift that has appeared has fallen on all four of thenoble Pokémon, who the Diamond and Pearl clans care for, enraging the Pokémon and harming the land that they are known to care for. CommanderKamado, the Galaxy Team's own leader, tasks the player character in researching and quelling the raging Nobles, without taking part in either of the clans' personal affairs and avoiding any potential negative relationships with the Galaxy Team.

After the player has quelled all five of Hisui's noble Pokémon, a disaster originating from Mount Coronet has caused the sky to turn red, and Kamado expels the player character from both Jubilife Village and the Galaxy Team to prevent further harm to the village. The Galaxy Team makes their way to Mount Coronet to settle the situation on their own, and defeat whatever lies beyond the space-time rift. The player follows them, after meeting with the threeLake guardians, defeating bothBeni and Kamado in battle and gains the commander's trust again.

According to Kamado and Cyllene in a post-credits scene, the name "Galaxy Expedition Team" came about when Kamado described the intelligence of Cyllene and others in the team to its patrons by comparing them to shining stars. One of the patrons then told Kamado he had a "veritable galaxy" for a team, thus leading him to name it the Galaxy Expedition Team. The Galaxy Team has plans to disband in the future, with Cyllene explaining that she will tell the stories and accomplishments of the Galaxy Team to her descendants.

Corps

The Galaxy Team is separated between multiple divisions and corps, with each division tasked with a certain purpose to help the people of Jubilife Village survive in Hisui as well as to make the location grow and prosper. The corps included with the Galaxy Team include the Survey, Security, Medical, Supply, Agriculture, and Construction Corps. Each group is led by its own captain.

A majority of Galaxy Team members will fall into one of these corps, but Kamado (who is the leader of the entire Galaxy Team) and Beni are the only members in the Galaxy Team who do not belong to any specific division.Charm was previously a Galaxy Team member, but it is unknown which corps she was affiliated with. TheMiss Fortunes also all have articles of clothing that come from the Galaxy Team, with Charm wearing outfits from the Construction Corps and Survey Corps andCoin wearing the orange Agriculture Corps outfit.

Many members on the field outside of Jubilife Village will be nameless and are simply namedGalaxy Member. These are usually Security Corp members who are tasked in patrolling areas in case other members or people are hurt.

Multiple buildings in Jubilife Village have roofs that line up with the coloring of each division, with many of the members living in said buildings.

Survey Corps

TheSurvey Corps (Japanese:調査隊Survey Team) is tasked with exploring the Hisui region and documenting its Pokémon. It has arank system ranging from No Star for new recruits to Full Star (10 stars). Whether or not this system applies to the other corps is unknown. The player'sfriend, Akari or Rei, use this Trainer class when they are battled asNPCs. The Survey Corps has the smallest count of named members compared to the other divisions.

The Survey Corps has the most plot relevance, as Legends: Arceus focuses on the player's role on the team. As the Survey Corps is tasked with documenting Pokémon ecology, they are in charge in creating Hisui's first everPokédex. This Pokédex is developed by Professor Laventon through the player's documentation of fieldwork and research tasks. Among this daring task, the player is also appointed the mission of quelling the five noble Pokémon of the Diamond and Pearl Clans after their rage that was caused by the space-time rift from which they fell from. The player's friend is noted to be an expertcrafter, and helped Professor Laventon in creation of theOrigin Ball.
