2072-2288: Space Madness!
The Galactic Zone opened in 2072 and was the last of the parks to open before the bombs fell in the Great War. John-Caleb Bradberton wished to bring customers a taste of the future with the Galactic Zone and it ended up being the most popular attraction at Nuka-World during the time of its opening. This park featured a unique collaboration between the Nuka-Cola Corporation, Vault-Tec Corporation and RobCo Industries, among other companies.
The Nuka-Galaxy attraction of the Nuka-Cola Corporation took park guests on a space adventure through a roller coaster spanning a galaxy while helping Nuka-Girl fight off aliens. Vault-Tec's Among the Stars attraction showed guests a glimpse of preparing for the future with Vault-Tec vaults being used to colonize distant planets and RobCo's RobCo Battlezone demonstrated the latest and greatest in robot technology to guests in an arena pitting various robot models against each other.
Since the Great War, this section of the park became a ground for traders from Nuka-Town USA to acquire scrap materials for use and trade. Eventually the traders came across Star Control and its star cores. Kendell Alston, thinking his daughter Tiana Alston's explanation that the cores were 'redundant' meant they were okay to take and sell, started gathering the cores up. However, it was around this time that Colter and his raider gangs took over Nuka-Town, leading to the idea that Star Control's defensive mode would be able to save them.
Shortly thereafter, they came to realize that they had taken too many cores and that it was unsafe to activate that setting. Despite Tiana's warning, Kendell would activate Star Control before the cores could be regathered in order to safely activate it. As the robots and defenses in the park came online, they began attacking the traders within the Galactic Zone. Tiana and the remaining traders eventually perished while trying to make a break for the gates to escape the zone. Their remains now lie just outside of the entrance for anyone visiting the Galactic Zone to discover.
2288-2299: Space Gladness
Full of space-themed fun, the Galactic Zone has more individual attractions than any other park in Nuka-World. An enclosed amusement park, filled with advanced robots: Mr Frothies, eyebots and Nukatrons. Directly across from the main entrance is the Starport Nuka ride, with the Starlight Interstellar Theater to the southern side, neighboring Vault-Tec: Among the Stars and the RobCo Battlezone and Nuka-Galaxy in the northern half.
Nuka-Galxy: Nuka-Galaxy was an attraction completed with the rest of the Galactic Zone in 2072. It boasted a lengthy and dynamic rollercoaster track, modeled as a counter-attack led by Nuka-Girl against attacking aliens. Throughout the ride, robots can be found combating animatronic aliens, while turrets attached to UFOs attack but never strike the rider.
RobCo Battlezone: The Battlezone was intended to provide park guests with a gladiatorial combat experience between various RobCo robot models. While the arena was marketing as showcasing unique RobCo prototypes, it soon became obvious to viewers that the combatants were standard RobCo models with largely cosmetic modifications.
Starlight Interstellar Theater: The Starlight Interstellar Theater, from parent company Starlight Theaters, is a part of the Galactic Zone in Nuka-World. Before the Great War, the management of the theater was frustrated with their situation, specifically because of lazy employees and their bartender being a sentry bot with no hands.
Starport Nuka: Starport Nuka was a museum of military and space-like technology. It was from here that all of the Galactic Zone robots were controlled and monitored before the Great War. The building houses a suit of custom Quantum X-01 power armor on display to guests. Due to having a sponsorship by the U.S. Military, Nuka-World managed to get this power armor early on, before the Great War. There is also an elevator with an observation deck with a view of a good portion of the park, which is only available after restoring power to the park.
Vault-Tec: Among the Stars: The attraction was opened as a way to attract customers to purchase spots in vaults. Vault-Tec sales staff were instructed to manipulate potential applicants by making them feel like part of the Vault-Tec family and handing out brochures such as "Mutations: It Could Happen To You" and hidden monitoring rooms made it clear that the ride was also used to experiment on visitors and staff through Project Consumer Guidance.
Luis Bateman, the project's lead, oversaw five experiments that were tested on visitors and staff. The first experiment was brainwave disruption, which used radiation scrubbers to emit an electromagnetic field that caused interference in the brainwave patterns of subjects. The second used audio emitters to generate varying degrees of subliminal suggestions overlaid with a special frequency, while the third released an airborne toxin from genetically-modified flora. The fourth experiment modified the exhibit's reactor to emit theta-band radiation in short, low doses. The final one used the previous four experiments on the attraction's staff, including Hodgson, Grunner, Langston, Dallas, and Bartlebee.
J. Hodgson, the Operations Engineer for the attraction, reported abnormal behavior by visitors, before experiencing headaches, nosebleeds, and memory loss. C. Grunner, the Theta Radiation technician involved in the experiment, locked the doors to the monitoring room after suspecting that Bateman had piped the radiation into the monitoring room. Later, R. Langston, the Subliminal Suggestions technician who operated in the same monitoring room, burst in to warn him of the bombs. Langston was then shot by Grunner, who then committed suicide.
There are other rides and attractions, too: ArcJet G-Force, Blast Off!, Handy Whirl, Nuka Rockets, Spacewalk, and Splashdown.
