Episode III

Michtam falls under Ormus control prior to the start of the game. Margulis and Pellegri philosophies before being called to Gedalya Space to combat the Durandal. The orbit above Michtam becomes the site of a full-scale war between, the Gnosis, the Galaxy Federation, and Ormus. The party later lands on the planet after defeating Dmitri Yuriev to find the Zohar. As Zarathustra stirs, Abel's Ark encircles the planet to observe changes in the consciousness of the Lower Domain. After stopping the Eternal Recurrence within Michtam's Underground Ruins, chaos, Nephilim, Jin, and KOS-MOS stay behind to perform a dimensional shift to Lost Jerusalem. The party barely manages to escape with chaos holding the last U.M.N. gate for them to escape. Michtam and the Gnosis later vanish in the resulting dimensional shift.

Episode III

Planet Abraxas

The fourth planet in the Michtam system.

The fourth planet in the Michtam star system. Used as a base of settlement by groups (believed to be under the influence of Ormus forces) that had managed to escape the Earth upon its destruction.

The groups formed an independent nation unaffiliated with Federation law, and thus declared the establishment of the Immigrant Fleet nation. However, it was later incorporated into the Federation. The planet-state's population is said to have been over 2.3 billion by the T.C. 4300s; even after joining the Federation, records show that 67% of its population remained purely descended from citizens of the Immigrant Fleet.

When the main Immigrant Fleet came to the forefront of history in the T.C. 4500s, it set off a countless string of conflicts with the Galaxy Federation over the planet's sovereignty. However, after the moderate Julius XVIII ascended the Patriarchy of the Immigrant Fleet in the mid-T.C. 4600s, the Fleet advanced a policy of appeasement toward the Federation government. Both sides would continue to follow a divide-and-rule approach until Sergius XIV assumed the role of Patriarch.

Planet Michtam

Planet Abraxas's official name.

The current name for planet Abraxas. The real reason why the planet was named after a celestial body is unknown, but the prevailing theory claims it was due to the fourth planet in the Michtam system being the only one habitable by humanity.

After the appearance of the main Immigrant Fleet, the sovereignty of the planet was essentially transferred to the Immigrant Fleet nation, and the planet came to be commonly called Abraxas.

However, after Voyager's attack on the Pilgrimage Meeting in T.C. 4667, the Galaxy Federation tightened their surveillance of the planet, fearing that the Zohar would go out of control. This led to Abraxas's sovereignty falling out of balance; eventually, all domain rights were transferred to the Galaxy Federation. The planet became recognized as a planet-state under Federation law; and at the same time, an official declaration decreed that its official name was now Michtam, taken from the star system.

Xenosaga I & II

アブラクサス

地球圏崩壊時に脱出を果たしたある集団（オルムス系勢力の影響を受けた集団と推測される）が、定住の拠点としたミクタム星系の第四惑星。
それらの集団は連邦法に属さない独自の国家を形成し、移民船団国家の設立を宣言するが、後に連邦の勢力下に編入される。
T.C.4300年代には人口23億人を越える惑星国家となったと言われている。
また、連邦に帰属した後も人口のうち67％が純粋な移民船団国民の末裔であったという記録が残っている。
T.C.4500年代に移民船団の本団が歴史の表舞台に姿を現すと、惑星の領有権を巡って星団連邦との間に絶え間なく紛争が発生する事になる。
しかし、T.C.4600年代半ばに移民船団内において穏健派のユリウス18世が教皇の座に就いた以降は、連邦政府との間に融和政策が進み、続くセルギウス14世が教皇に就任するまで、両者による分割統治が続くこととなる。

ミクタム

惑星アブラクサスの現在の名称。
惑星名に恒星の名称が付けられるようになった本当の理由は不明だが、ミクタム星系に人類の居住可能な惑星が第四惑星の他に無かったため、と言う説が一般的である。
移民船団本団の出現後、実質上の領有権が移民船団国家に移行すると、一般的な惑星名の呼称がアブラクサスとなっていく。
しかし、T.C.4667のU.M.N.テロリストによる巡礼会議襲撃事件以降、ゾハルの暴走を危険視する星団連邦の監視が強まる事によって、アブラクサス内での領有権のバランスが崩れ始める。
最終的には、アブラクサスの領有権は完全に星団連邦に移行し、連邦法に基づく惑星国家として認知されると同時に、惑星名は本来のミクタムにするとの正式な宣言が行われた。
