The Galactic Council: A History Wiki

Where the events of the Galactic Council are transcribed for all to learn from.

**Welcome to the The Galactic Council: A History Wiki!**
The Galactic Council is a Discord server, born out of a need for neutral territory during a Reddit war. Founded by QD, and formerly run with the guidance of Stef, it was baptized by fire, and now serves as a hangout for an active user base.

The server grows bigger every week, with new people flooding in all the time. The need for a cohesive server history was made apparent one evening during a discussion with two of my friends, Greev and Mango. They had been around since the start, and they both made comments about users long since inactive.

Many of these users I had known, but there were several who’s origins go back before I joined, and sadly, they were already being forgotten. As the original members slowly go inactive, I made it my mission to archive every bit of information on the server, so that its story would live beyond the currently active members, and into the future of Discord.

**Our Goals**

* Preserve the history of the server for future users
* Catalogue the various channels and events, short lived, and otherwise
* Honor the memories of inactive users

## The Timeline

The timeline of the Galactice council has been broken down into 5 major periods. Each period is marked by it’s own trials and tribulations, and has had different users. The periods were divided based off the waves of members who joined, and landmark events, although many of them don’t have a precise start and end date.

The Ancient Era consists of everything before the server. Some of the earliest info we have reaches back 2 years, and tells the stories of Dex, Nik, and Holy. The start of the OkBuddyClanker and CloneSoldierMemes conflict, or the Galactic Great War, as it has been dubbed, and the foundation of the server marks the end of the Ancient Era.

The Forgotten Era tells of the end of the war, the founding of the server, and the following peace. The Forgotten Era was named for the people that lived it, many of them already fading into the dark abyss of memory. It’s also a play on the American “Forgotten Generation:” those who came home after WWI and struggled to find a place in life. For our Forgotten Generation, the Galactic Council was their rock.

The Forgotten Era is preceded by The Golden Age. The Golden Age began around the end of April 2020. It saw the rise of many new users during the Reddit Boom, a time when new subs were a dime a dozen. Many of the users who joined during the Reddit Boom would later become prominent members of the community. Sadly, all good things must come to an end, and the Golden Era’s downfall was set into motion after the notorious Redditor, Halalboi, joined the Council.

The Modern Period follows the aftermath of Nihilus, and another boom of active new users. It also witnessed the reorganization of the server after it was decided that the GC would distance itself from Reddit.

The The Fall of the Council is the second to last chapter in the Galactic Council's history. With Stef gone, cohesive leadership was nowhere to be found, and several longtime members left the server. Users feared the GC was on death's doorstep. It took several tries, and numerous false starts, but the server once again found a new identity, adapted, and plunged forward.

A New Hope is found with the chancellor's replacement Swordrist leaving, Obi is nominated by Sword to take his place, the democratic values of the server are replaced by the council of moderators and admins choosing the new path of the server. (redudndant? -Doc)

* Please only contribute to the eras in which you are familiar.
* Don’t try altering history to give a different picture than what really happened.
* Please retain the current format if you insert something.

Also, for much of the stuff before the Golden Age, I'm going off of information from other people. In short, there may be some mistakes, and it's possible some events may be out of order. I welcome your feedback.
