Galactica (ギャラクティカ Gyarakutika) is a series of primarily LIGHT Attribute Galaxy Type monsters and support used by Yudias Velgear (and his manga counterpart) in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime and manga, and Taiyo Asobe in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP manga.

Members[edit]

The monsters in the series appear as dragon-like creatures with bright neon wings, plated in metal armor with glowing orbs of light all over their bodies. Each member also has a number of what appear to be miniaturized galaxies encased in transparent orbs. The anime, as well as the artwork of "Galactica Rise", show that each "Galactica" monster starts out in a spaceship-like sealed form, which unfolds into its dragon form upon being Summoned. Each monster in the series is named after a term related to memory.

Playing style[edit]

The series focuses on pure beatdown tactics using primarily Galaxy Type Normal Monsters, overwhelming the opponent with boosted ATK and soft removals, and then retreating into the defensive during the opponent's turn to prepare for the next push. "Galactica Oblivion" has an equal amount of ATK and DEF, which eliminates the problem of being vulnerable to position changing, in exchange for not having any card effect. The Effect Monster members of the theme focus on providing support to make way for "Oblivion".

Outside of the theme, many Normal Monster and/or Level 7 monster support cards such as "Secret Order" and "Ship of Seven Treasures" are extremely useful to recur "Oblivion" and send excess copies from the hand to the Graveyard. When including additional common "Secret Order" and "Ship of Seven Treasures" targets, it is generally recommended to also choose Galaxy Type monsters, as choosing non-Galaxy Type monsters might clash with the effects of Galaxy support cards such as "Galactica Amnesia".
