• Illustration — Tara Tallan, creator of Galaxion, in September 2009 There have been three versions of the Galaxion story. Around 1993, the story first appeared as one half of a photocopied, digest size flip comic book Salmagundi. In the late 1990s, the story was relaunched in a self-published full-sized comic. There was also a "flip book" with Amy Unbounded by Rachel Hartman. The first six issues were collected in a graphic novel, Galaxion: The Graphic Novel Volume One. This second version of Galaxion made it to eleven full issues but ceased publication in 1999 as the demands of parenthood pulled Tara away from the drawing table. In 2006, Tara launched a third version of Galaxion as a bi-weekly (later weekly) webcomic, originally hosted at Girlamatic. The comic went on hiatus in August 2018

Note: This describes roles of the characters in the webcomic version of Galaxion. The roles have been different in earlier versions. For example, the print comic shows Scavina in command of the Galaxion from the beginning and Zandarin leading the Survey Contact Team. • Darvin Deloren - civilian employee of Interplanetary Patrol; right-hand man of General Nelson, an old friend of Zandarin and Fusella. • Anna Ito - Chief Engineer. • Vessa Khavis - leader of the Survey Contact Team. • Fusella Mierter - captain of the Galaxion. • Brig. General Scavina Nelson - leading the Nelson Project, Interplanetary Patrol's hyperspace jump travel experiment. • Aria Schafer - Galaxions Survey Contact Team. • Zandarin Wilder - civilian employee of Interplanetary Patrol.
