^Galactium was discovered in the 17th century by the Japanese astronomer and chemist, Mau Ti Chang, within asteroids that had fallen to earth. It was many years later, around the
time that the Laser was invented, that the extraction and refining processes had advanced enough to allow pure Galactium to be utilized militarily and commercially. Galactium is an
element whose name was derived from the word Galactic which is an adjective for Galaxy. Galaxies contain clusters of interstellar matter that make up the entire universe and the
element Galactium has been found to make up 27.54% of the elements found in asteroids.

^Galactium, chemical symbol Gm, is a lustrous, prismatic blue-white metallic element that is two times harder than diamond and three times stronger than the strongest steel. It is the
strongest and hardest metal known to exist in the universe and has a melting point of 2,928°C which is slightly lower than Tungsten. Galactium is found only in asteroids that have
fallen to earth and is among the most rare of all metals available on earth. It will not tarnish or corrode and is the most dense of all known metallic elements, yet is as light as Titanium
and is easily alloyed with other metals. Perhaps above its strength and hardness, Galactium has enabled the development of numerous alloys that possess qualities far beyond what
scientist believed possible before its discovery. Galactium is used by the military primarily for armor plating, tanks, missiles, structural parts of numerous advanced weapons, ballistics,
robotics, bomb shelters, advanced aircraft, submarines, vehicles and spaceships. It is used commercially in advanced industrial parts, bridge structures, tools, transportation and
recreational vehicle parts, ships, household appliance parts and many consumer products where durability, strength and hardness is required. Many new alloys are being developed
annually from Galactium and it continues to be the leading element in research and development since its discovery.
