Galactic Mission Control

Interstellar Exploration and Emergency Response Operations

Description

Galactic Mission Control oversees interstellar expeditions and coordinates planetary contact teams, acting as the primary authority for long-range scientific missions. Their structure remains unseen here, but their agents follow rigorous communication protocols—until failures like Sorenson's expedition expose gaps between protocol and practice. Vishinsky invokes their name to command rescue operations when satellite silence suggests disaster, revealing their role as both distant overseers and the first responders tasked with enforcing mission integrity across colonies and spoilage sites like Zeta Minor.
