No Man's Sky gamers Afwngs, -HollowpOiNt_80, met in a NMS Facebook Group Chat and founded the Alliance of Galactic Travellers on 14 April 2017. The newly minted Facebook Group for the AGT filled quickly with gamers who shared a mutual love of discovering and visiting interesting NMS destinations. Both afWngs and -HollowpOiNt_80 quickly recruited Travellers Guzaboo, drizzleditch, imajortm, Zazariins, Traveller598 and Blacksun3129 into the organization. Before the end of April, the Calypso Travellers Foundation was integrated also with the addition of Bufalo04 and Ogre magi mutly toad.
Within a couple of months, membership in the group grew to over 200 Travellers and a leadership committee was required. The AGT Archival Council was then formed to formally manage the group as an unincorporated association.
To celebrate their growth, the AGT commissioned the manufacture and release of 100 lapel pins. They were quite popular garnering over 4000 impressions on Twitter after a reshare by Hello Games.
On 4 May 2017 (May the 4th Be With You) the AGT Archival Council voted to enacted the date as 3733 set in sync with the Earth UTC day and time stamps, and so began the lore of the Alliance of Galactic Travellers.
The AAAM Expeditionary has sent an Archival team to the discovery site and a full data extraction is underway.
Before the Rift[ | ]
Little is known about the history of the AGT before what many elders refer to as The Rift. There was a time when the AGT and iVc Project were one civilization. The two worked hand in hand, traveling the universe and charting unknown territory. Several iVc Interlopers grew weary of a nomadic life, and made a pilgrimage to The Pilgrim Star system. While wandering with little more than an Exosuit full of resources, afWngs sat and watched the Pilgrim Star move across the sky. He went on a sabbatical from the iVc to author the iVc Navigator's Guide. While working on it, he had an epiphany: he no longer wanted to roam from system to system, creating transportation corridors; he wanted to take the time to explore and document the inner workings of the universe and it's planets. The leaders of the iVc were devastated. afWngs' own son, acting President of the civilization, argued against his father, refusing to leave the iVc. However, there were several other Travellers who shared the vision of afWngs, and so a Rift shuttered the ranks of the iVc.
Fearing that more members would jump ship, the iVc agreed to release afWngs from his employment contract under the condition that he share his findings and occasionally work on contract for the iVc. An independent explorer for the first time, afWngs surfed the Black Hole Ring until finding a beautiful planet in the Keleibniug Mass. He opened a trading post with the help of a local Gek and prospered in his new life. afWngs was refueling a starship when he noticed the iVc logo on the side of a Hauler. His son climbed out of the cockpit and smiled at the sight of his father. The two men shared a laugh and swapped stories of their misadventures. One would never guess that over ten years had passed since they last spoke. Needless to say, the rift had mended and the two have been in close contact ever since.
Shortly afterwards, on a time of reflection during a sabbatical on the planet Bach in the HUB-K-C2 iVc TradePort:054Star system, afWngs developed the concept that would grow to become the AGT.
Galactic Travellers afwngs and -HollowpOiNt_80 met together in the Keleibniug Mass of the Euclid Galaxy and founded the Alliance of Galactic Travellers under a mutual love of discovering and visiting interesting destinations. The two soon recruited Galactic Travellers Bufalo04, Ogre magi mutly toad, Guzaboo, drizzleditch, zazariins,imajortm and Blacksun3129 into the alliance.

In the beginning we were all alone. Stranded. Crawling out of the wreckage of our ships. Stranded on strange worlds strewn across the Galaxy. No knowledge of who we were or from where we came. Alone we used our wits to survive and rebuild. Taking to the stars in search of answers. That is where we found each other. Travellers banding together in an alliance. Supporting one another in our quest in solving the questions in front of us. Then in an instant everything changed. In the blink of an eye it was all different. Worlds in upheaval. Whole planetary ecosystems destroyed or completely changed. Things once familiar now unrecognizable. Even the AGT Embassy world was not left untouched. The once paradise planet is now an irradiated hellscape. Nobody knows how or why it happened. Many suspect the strange Atlas interfaces are at the center of it but no one knows for sure. Now it is a time of rebuilding. Once again we climb from the ashes but this time we are not alone. We rebuild together. Mysteries await us both old and new. We shall seek the answers together. Strange new worlds await and we will explore them together. Long live the AGT!

The AGT actively participates in the major civilized community event of Unification Day 2017
The success of the Unification Day 2017 event emboldened the remaining members of the AGT Archival Council to relook at the abandoned plans for a home region in Euclid. The council organized a great migration to plan to bring guide AGT travellers to the Milland region in Euclid. (See the YouTube migration video)
The PS4 universe region of Milland is attacked and violently renamed (see Milland Incursion Event) to make it unnavigable for the majority of the PS4 AGT travellers. The AGT leadership is devastated with the development. The PC universe appears to be unharmed. A similar attack occurs in Louyen but is not as sucessful due to the fact that over 90% of Louyen was already AGT claimed. (see Louyen Incursion Event)

Discussions ensure on yet another migration plan. The plan was developed to move towards the Delta Quadrantfade once a proper new era of opportunity presents itself.
A glimmer of hope has emerged from the darkness in the form of the AGT Senior Leadership Team and AGT Steering Committee. With over 2000 Travellers now participating in the AGT there has been an emergence of leadership from the ranks of the AGT Facebook Group. Together the new leadership is preparing for whatever comes NEXT.
Negotiations between the Galactic Hub Project and the AGT are completed on the potential new home region for the AGT. The migration plan to the Delta Quadrant fade is cancelled and a plan to launch a new home region not far from the Galactic Hub core areas is developed.
