Gedalya

From Xenosaga Wiki

Gedalya is a planetary member of the Galaxy Federation that dispatched a fleet of ships to Second Miltia in order to surround and contain the Kukai Foundation after U-TIC Organization forces enacted an elaborate ploy which involved falsely implicating the Foundation in the destruction of the Federation cruiser Woglinde in order to retrieve the 100 Series Observational Realian prototype MOMO. The fleet deployment came even before the doctored video of the Durandal sinking the Woglinde was shown to the Executive Committee. As Ziggy speculates, there were probably U-TIC officers within both the fleet, the government and the S.O.C.E. who jumped the gun a little bit in order to surround the Kukai Foundation before it arrived at Second Militia and MOMO eluded their grasp on the planet's surface. The incident has led to heightened tensions between Gedalya and Second Miltia. They consider each other enemy states now, despite them both being members of the Federation.

In Episode III, the strange landmass "Rennes-le-Chatâeu" (and later Abel's Ark) appears in close proximity to Gedalyan space. A large portion of the game takes place very close to Gedalya, however the planet itself is not visited at any point.
