Galaäs

Galaäs is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Expanse" by James S. A. Corey. It is the homeworld of the Belters, a group of people who migrated from Earth to the Outer Solar System in the late 20th century. The planet is located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and is known for its harsh and resource-scarce environment. The Belters have developed a unique culture and society, characterized by their independence, self-reliance, and strong sense of community. They are skilled engineers and miners, and their expertise is highly valued in the broader solar system. Galaäs is a rocky, barren world with a thin atmosphere, making it difficult to sustain human life without extensive terraforming and technological support. The planet's resources are limited, and the Belters have had to adapt to survive in this challenging environment. Despite these challenges, the Belters have made significant contributions to the development and exploration of the solar system, and their story is a central theme in "The Expanse."
