> why would a galactic spanning organisation be called "Galactic Federation"? We called the earth beneath our feet "Earth". Our moon "Moon", our star ("our sun" in common language) "Sun". Our military has a force that deals with flying in the air and we called it "Air Force". Our first space force is called "Space Force". Historically, one of the biggest companies that dealt with the east indian area was called "East India Company" despite being British. So, I'd answer back with "why not"?

Our solar system is called Sol. "The Sol System". Our residence and office of the leader of our country is The White House. "Air Force" only sounds more normal than "Space Force" because most of us weren't around when it was the "US Army Air Corp". Admittedly they could've called it something slightly cooler based off other names, like the US Cyber Command.
