- Fleet tender: The Galaxy was designed to the be flagship of any mercantile fleet, with enough crew accommodations to comfortably support the crews of escort vessels during long hyperspace travel. Its top deck is designed to house up to three vessels of Dawnstone origin, no longer than 750 meters in length.
- Redundant hull: Given the sheer size of the Galaxy, a majority of the hull can be damaged and even breached without comprising the life support systems, slip-space housing and engine drives, and crew complements.
- A real whale: This vessel was not designed to be inherently fast or to fend off any attackers on it's own. Because of this the vessel is both extremely slow and clunky but also entirely defenseless on it's own.
- Bare bones: The Galaxy is cheap for her size largely due to the minimal crew comforts and space beyond the warehouse. It does not use any advanced systems beyond what is required to get the vessel from point A to point B.
- Unshielded: The Galaxy does not make use of shields due to the rising cost during the time of design and construction.
Originally designed and commissioned by Dawnstone Logistics in 850 ABY, the DSC-55 Galaxy "Homefront" variant was built from the ground up to take advantage of the unstable deep core and form the backbone of mass relief efforts when all else would fail. Entirely unarmed and reliant on it's thick shell to ward off attackers, the Galaxy was pushed into service with Dawnstone Logistics as quickly as possible to fill in the gaps made during the deep core Crisis of 856 ABY, and played a large role in supporting the effected populations. The Galaxy is unable to enter beyond low orbit, relying on space stations and it's own retinue of transport aircraft to deliver supplies when proper docking arrangements cannot be made. The baseline Galaxy is never allowed to leave the inner core to limit pirate threats and take advantage of product transportation.
The Galaxy boasts a robust construction, featuring a thick hull and redundant compartment design that ensures structural integrity and safety for its crew. The majority of personnel reside within a 400 meter section located in the Stern, spanning five levels at the heart of the ship. This central hub offers a range of amenities, including but not limited to a fitness center, cinema, library, armory, cantina, and individual living quarters, providing comfort and convenience for crew members during long voyages. The ship's complement comprises 1,200 bridge crew and pilots, tasked with navigation and operational duties, along with an additional security detail of 600 personnel to safeguard the vessel and its occupants. However, the majority of day-to-day tasks aboard the Galaxy are handled by various droids and automated container cranes within the expansive cargo holds, streamlining operations and maximizing efficiency.

- Ramshackle guns: The Frontier's armaments' were canalized from other ships in the fleet. Despite professional work, the weapons simply aren't designed to mount properly where they are, which can cause problems in open conflict.
