Task::Galaxy was basically an experiment to see if gitlab (rather than github) support worked. It didn't install when I tried it last night since one of the modules didn't install. There really isn't any guarantee that any Task:: type module will work at any particular time although volunteers are doing their best. The only reference to Task::Star in Task::Galaxy was intended to explain where the name came from. You may want to use Rakudo Star itself (intended to be more stable and less subject to change than installing Rakudo directly) or wait for something like https://perl6.vip/ if you are interested in module bundles.
