It doesn't look like there would be any problem with allowing Tigris to still exist by simply saying that it was never destroyed, besides the issue of having to retcon the ending of a war that hasn't been rewritten yet. The other galaxies are what will need discussion.

Based on their pages, Chandras, Kaas, and Bor'iel (not mentioned in the draft, but another of Val's galaxies, a tiny hobbit galaxy) are supposed to be in Universe 66501, while Xanctum is in Universe 73016. Evidently I noticed this by 1 October 2014 when I made a major edit to the SporeWiki locations page and added them there. This was long after the "no new galaxies" rule was established after the Annihilation; I suspect I didn't bring this up because Val's fiction was then isolated from the rest of the fictionverse, and he was too rarely active to bring up a discussion with.

The Universe 66501 galaxies were removed from the locations page by Oluap on 9 July 2017, I assume as a result of that universe's retcon.

With that information, we can prepare for a discussion about what to do with those galaxies. The suggestions so far have been:
 * 1) Purge Kaas. This is currently mentioned in the draft. However, it's a partial solution that doesn't tell us what to do with the other galaxies.
 * 2) Have the galaxies exist in another universe. This is how they currently are, although Universe 66501 may need to be changed (but then if the original no longer exists in canon, what's wrong with a new creation reusing its name?). On the other hand, universes should be just as much subject to the "no new ..." rule as galaxies, otherwise they're just a loophole for making new galaxies (and more).
 * 3) is to identify them into satellite galaxies of already-introduced galaxies.
 * 4) is to identify them as unused already-introduced galaxies. There aren't many options there. Dinoman82 suggested that they could be the unexplored Quadrants. The other possibility would be to bring back other Annihilated galaxies, in the Astral or Nexus Clusters, and grant them "Chandras" and "Xanctum" as new/Krassio names.
