We present extragalactic research plans that are developing for the LSST sky survey. The LSST Galaxies Science Collaboration team is a working group with several goals. One goal is to identify science use cases for the enormous LSST survey data archive and database that either stretch the capabilities of the system or else are missing from current LSST science use case scenarios. In addition, the team is working to identify gaps in other current, on-going, or planned non-LSST sky surveys, in order to develop the LSST science case for those research problems. The team is also investigating what precursor extragalactic studies need to be addressed and which data sets are missing now but which need to be available in order for LSST galaxies research to reach its full potential when the facility begins operations. Finally, the team is working with the LSST Data Management team to verify that the expected science database queries for extragalactic science are represented and doable within the LSST database schema. We will present our initial findings, general research themes, and potential synergies with other LSST Science Collaborations and other Sky Survey projects.
