Gale was the last planet in the Old Conglomerate to be discovered and colonized. It is the second known planet, and the first exoplanet, to be known to support complex life. Around 5 per cent of its surface still experiences raging vulcanic activity.

Although not as complex as Earth's, Gale's biosphere hosts lifeforms not very different from Earthlings: Carbon based, DNA based lifeforms, with a mostly equal biology. Still, Galo's wildlife is very alien. From trees that stand half a kilometer into the air, to 3 meter tall beetle looking insects, Gale does not, however, host a civilization.

Gale is extremely dangerous. The mostly undocumented wildlife shows itself hostile to human and Machine colonizers, and attack the few research stations built in its surface. This creates a great demand for firearms and rations, as it is now known if these lifeforms are safe for human consumption. However, some plant species with great healing capabilities are studied, which caused many breakthroughs in medical research, and an improvement in Hypersleep Pod factory technology and Medipacks.

Gale was first settled by Al-Ghat Galactic, in 2231. After being conquered by Star Omega's forces in 2250, Gale still remains today a medical research planet. Galene's Trade Station (Star Omega's Motherboard) supplies the surface dwellers with all the resources they need to survive.
