The Galaxy Galleria

The Galaxy Galleria Shopping Mall is a station-based mall.

Background[]

It is frequented by women, men, and neuter alike. Transport around the mall is achieved via a pair of conveyor belts, designed to rest your weary legs and prevent you from going backwards. Various shops are located all around the perimeter of the mall, with the center being filled by a huge Skate-O-Rama rink. For those running low on Buckazoids, an Autobucks Teller Machine is provided.

Galaxy Galleria is located off the LarryLand exit of InterGalactic sub-space wormhole Route C=2πr.

Roger Wilco visited here with the Latex Babes during his visit to the Space Quest X time period.

Due to the confusing mechanics of time travel this station appears to have been built far into the future at some point between or after 3043 and 3079, or before or during the 24th century (2301-2400). However Roger states it didn't exist in his own era (around late 2800s to early 2900s before he travelled a century in Cold-Sleep after SQ2), nor does it appear to have existed at the time of SQ3, SQ4 or SQ5 either (which had become his home time period by default, he compares his time in ScumSoft hallways to his later experiences at the mall), but he couldn't wait for it to be built. When Roger visited the station in SQX, it had been a week and a half, past the first year after it was first built.[1] By SQ6 it was already built (Monolith Burger was looking for employee), and the local monolith was looking for employees (meaning in Companion timeline SQX takes place a year + 1 week + 4-5 days after SQ6). Roger attempts to explain this (in the Compaion) potentially anachronistic issue, by stating that 'because the electronic store's selection is so large, by the time the products are listed they are already obsolete. Hence its already obsolete 24th century models, and need to update for the later century products. They are trying to clear out the surplus of outdated products while they prepare for the update. This implies that in Roger's account it's already beyond the 24th century, around the 31st century.

So perhaps it has been built or existed in different eras depending on the parallel universe in which Roger was visiting the mall. It is however a major destination and stopover for time travelers, and is routinely advertised in the later issues of Space Piston Magazine.

Behind the scenes[]

The Space Quest Companion gets by the 24th century issue, by stating that 'because the electronic store's selection is so large, by the time the products are listed they are already obsolete. Hence its already obsolete 24th century models, and need to update for the later century products. They are trying to clear out the surplus of outdated products while they prepare for the update.

  1. The Babes and I arrived there mid-week, a year or so after its Grand Opening Sale, so the crowds weren't so bad. But still, smart shoppers from all over known space jostled on its moving beltways as they bustled from one elegant emporium to another.
