> Our own solar system is outside the central part of the galaxy and a bit off the ecliptic plane. There isn't that much around us. The central core of the Galaxy could be populated, wars raging around us, and we're the equivalent of a mountain village in Laos. The mountain village might be the only place survivable. The center is a lot more dynamic environment. Radiation levels also increase really close to the center. > But could you imagine being one of these floater solar systems? We at least can reach some star systems in generation ships. They would would need much more. If more than the resources of one stellar system are required for intergalactic travel, then they are stranded there forever. They will die with their star.
