  We put forward an improved version of the Galilean Genesis model that
addresses the problem of superluminality. We demote the full conformal group to
Poincare symmetry plus dilations, supplemented with approximate galilean shift
invariance in the UV and at small field values. In this way fluctuations around
the NEC-violating cosmological background are made substantially subluminal,
and superluminality cannot be reached by any small change of the solution, in
contrast with the original model. Dilation invariance still protects the
scale-invariance of correlation functions of a massless test scalar - which is
the source of the observed cosmological fluctuations - but the explicit
breaking of the conformal group can be potentially observed in higher-order
correlators. We also highlight a subtlety in matching the NEC-violating phase
with the standard cosmological evolution, and discuss the possible couplings of
the Galileon to gravity.
