According to the tales, a galleon was a starship involved in a competition in the dawn of space exploration, with the goal of charting a secure path to and from the planet Batuu. Initially at the forefront of the Batuu search, the galleon, commanded by a human called Phillian, began to scavenge the wreckage of previous failed expeditions for valuables and supplies.
As the smaller Ravenstar closed the gap with the galleon, Captain Phillian suggested a contest for the final leg to Batuu. Despite an initial speed advantage, Phillian's misjudgment of the added weight of the salvaged treasure against their fuel usage resulted in the galleon becoming stranded. Following their victory in the race, the Ravenstar's crew came back to offer support.
