As the Galaxy turns

As the Galaxy Turns is one of the longest running Holo shows available on the GalNet.

The show started out by following several members of the Christensen family, their interactions with each other and the effects current events had on their lives. The carriers pursued by the main cast have been varied, from Executives in MegaCorps, to Admirals in the Union Navy, Generals in the Union Marines at the high end of the power and prestige to a part time cook at a small Arthur's Swine and Dine.

In the over twenty-five hundred years new episodes have been produced, there have been nearly sixty thousand actors involved with the show, with nearly five thousand being a part of the central cast at one point in time. Several hundred actors have played the parts of relatives with someone they were related to in real life the same way as in the show.

As the Galaxy Turns has had numerous sponsors throughout the years, including seven of the current top ten MegaCorps and the Union Military (as an insignificant fraction of the recruiting budget for the Union Navy and the Union Marine Corps).

There have been numerous times when by coincidence a fictional storyline intersected with reality. Zapertize Corp was for over a decade a fictional MegaCorp. A large corporation purchased the rights to the name and renamed itself Zapertize Corp following a scandal which ended up with it's largest shareholders and most of it's executive board in prison or executed. The name change saved the company which has remained near the 100 largest companies mark since (previously it's peak had been number 173.)
