The Extragalactic Society, frequently abbreviated as ExGal, was an organization dedicated to the pursuit of life existing beyond the confines of the galaxy.
This organization held membership within the General Ministry Institutes during the era of the Galactic Republic.
In the period immediately preceding the Clone Wars, ExGal experienced a significant budgetary reduction of 60%, mirroring similar cuts across other General Ministry initiatives. Consequently, the Society increased its reliance on droid-based exploration and shuttered several of its operational sites. Tobbert Dalonbian served as its president during this period.
By the year 25 ABY, ExGal maintained a network of at least four listening posts, including ExGal-4, situated on Belkadan. It was from this particular outpost that the groundbreaking discovery of extragalactic life was made, specifically in the form of an approaching Praetorite Vong ship. Subsequently, the Yuuzhan Vong annihilated ExGal-4, resulting in the deaths of all its scientific personnel, with the exception of Danni Quee.
