The galactian alignment system was created for non-binary people to describe their gender without having to use binary terms such as 'masculine' or 'woman-aligned'. Not all non-binary people use the galactian alignment system.
The theme of space is used in the galactian system because space is genderless, but aspects of it are often personified to have gender for artistic, religious, or cultural reasons. Non-binary people have also historically been associated with space.

History
The terms used in the galactian alignment system were coined in August and September of 2016 on a Discord server with several Tumblr users. Around the same time Tumblr users Nonbinary-sapphic and Vergess made a post explaining the galactian system[1].
