During the [[FedCom Civil War]], [[Archon of the Lyran Commonwealth|Archon]] [[Katherine Steiner]] attempted to persuade Galax to support her regime, using her control over the food supplies from New Avalon as a means of exerting pressure on the population of the world. This could have caused potentially fatal hardship on the population of Galax, as the planet still had no agricultural base; fortunately for the population, even as supplies of food from New Avalon became erratic, other nearby worlds stepped in, generously supplying food to sustain the world.<ref name=HBDp94/>

Thanks to the dramatic increase in technological knowledge across the Inner Sphere that began in the 3030s as a result of the discovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] Galax had become home to the most advanced terraforming concerns to be found anywhere by [[3067]].

While Galax was still noted at this point for being the location of one of the "Gilded Halls"—a select group of universities that could claim to have been operating continuously for five hundred or more years<ref name="HB:HDp140>"''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 140: "Universities"</ref>—during a survey of university performance against various criteria conducted by the ''New Avalon Post'' in [[3059]], learning institutions on Galax appeared in the top five of two different categories out of the eight polled. The Armstrong Flight Academy was rated as one of the top five military academies within the Federated Suns, while Galax Tech, located in Canaveral City, was voted the second best party school.<ref name="HB:HDp143>"''Handbook: House Davion'', p. 143: "Top Five Federated Suns Universities"</ref>
