The Galtor Thumb was the name given to a region of the Federated Suns which existed during the 3020s. Containing Galtor and some neighboring worlds, it was so-named due to its shape on interstellar maps as a 'thumb' jutting into the Draconis Combine.
The Galtor Thumb saw fierce fighting on its eponymous world in 3025, as one of the largest battles of the Third Succession War was fought there over a Star League era storehouse.[1]
During the Fourth Succession War the Galtor Thumb became the focus of a DCMS offensive. While the AFFS defenders exacted a high price from the Combine invaders, the Thumb worlds were ultimately conquered in what proved to be one of the Combine's few victories during that war.[2] [3]
