Team Galaxy, le Collège de l'Espace or Galaxie Académie (in Quebec
) is a French

of young student
s try to balance their regular teenage lives and their training
to become Space Marshals. The concept and animation style is similar to that of both Totally Spies! and Martin Mystery
, other series created by the same production company.
Team Galaxy is co-produced by a number of international broadcasters, such as France 3
which was the first to begin airing the full series from 28 August 2006. In the US, Cartoon Network

Since the final 3 episodes of season 2 of Team Galaxy 'Predator Plants from Outer Space', a new plot has been introduced where Omni, an android as well as a student of another space school, is searching for his fellow schoolmates after his school's been destroyed by an Alien Bounty Hunter named Gangus. He is convinced to stay at Galaxy High for the time being and is promised by Josh, Brett, Yoko as well as the rest of GH to help him. Unfortunately, due to the show currently ending at 52 episodes, this plot hasn't been addressed any further.

Plot
"Team Galaxy" is about a group of friends who try to balance both their school work and their free time. The three protagonists: Josh, Yoko, and Brett are few among the students of a school called "Galaxy High"; a galactic justice empower authority, which defends the galaxy against criminality. In addition, the school teaches subjects suitable for these types of missions which their students endure through. The series apparently takes place during present time, with everything outside Galaxy High appearing like it currently does, but in an episode where they go through a time skip, a calendar says that the year is 2051, hinting that the actual series takes place in 2050.Since the final 3 episodes of season 2 of Team Galaxy 'Predator Plants from Outer Space', a new plot has been introduced where Omni, an android as well as a student of another space school, is searching for his fellow schoolmates after his school's been destroyed by an Alien Bounty Hunter named Gangus. He is convinced to stay at Galaxy High for the time being and is promised by Josh, Brett, Yoko as well as the rest of GH to help him. Unfortunately, due to the show currently ending at 52 episodes, this plot hasn't been addressed any further.
Brett
A 10-year-old headstrong genius, who despite his brilliance feels restricted by his young age. He uses his own personal computer to control the hornet, to analyze DNA, and to use Gluefoam. In addition, he hates to be called a "kid". Brett takes missions more seriously than Yoko and Josh, and often scoffs when the two leave to shirk their mission. He is the most sensible of the group, but due to his young age, and fun loving partners, he is often ignored. He is often used by Josh to do homework for him or for selfish reasons.The character's hairstyle is very similar to that of Roxas

Yoko
A 15-year-old karaoke-loving Wannabe pop singer (who can't carry a tune) sees Galaxy High as just a step on her way to stardom. Her main weapon is her sonic blaster. Yoko's terrible singing is a running gag in the show, and despite how bad it is, she wins many interstellar competitions with it (Aliens take her voice as music while Josh and Brett start crying in pain.) Often, Yoko is distracted on missions when a talent competition, or something that could boost her career pops up. Her desire for stardom and fame often lead to her capture or place the group in danger. She had a crush on Seth, until she heard his voice.Josh
A rebellious 16-year-old adrenaline-junkie, who prefers space training to classroom theory. He mostly fails his classes but succeeds on his missions. He was afraid of water after a childhood incident involving him losing his swimming trunks, but has since overcame it after facing it head on. He prides himself on being a professional slacker, and always seems to be in trouble with the principal – who also happens to be his father. But for all his wild stunts, Josh’s independent thinking is a perfect fit for the team. Although he repeatedly said he wants to be out of GH, he has never really meant it.Bobby
One of Josh's rivals from Galaxy High. He is by far the most competitive student and with his high grades and sharp skills (and big ego), he isn’t shy about telling everyone who’s the top gun on campus.Spavid
Spavid is one of the few alien students at Galaxy High. He is well liked by all in spite of his general clumsiness. After growing into adulthood, he developed superhuman powers and enhanced reflexes but chose to suppress them after he let them get to his head.Orion and Andromeda

Kimball is a princess. Her privileged upbringing has made her a bit unfriendly and she often looks down on the other students.Seth
A talented musician and Yoko's love interest. He seemed to be cold and has no interest in Yoko, but it turned out that he simply did not speak so as to not strain his voice, and was too shy to ask her out.Principal Kirkpatrick
A former Commander of a military academy who was brought in to be principal at Galaxy High. His strict disciplinarian attitude is often met head on by his son Josh – who is determined to get on his last nerve. He also has a jolly personality amid his usual strict demeanor. He cares a lot about Josh's team and Josh, of course! He is also afraid of speaking to large crowds, but has since overcame his fears after reading Yoko's book, about overcoming stage fright. Captain Smith is also his long time buddy, it appears that Kirkpatrick is married to M.O.M from Martin Mystery series, it is unknown whether it is true or not.Mrs. Schragger
