I think the problem is that, before, there were too many galaxies, which caused the empires of the universe to be isolated from each other. Forbidding new galaxies forced them to be close enough to interact. That is the consequence if everyone is allowed to make new galaxies.

To avoid that, the universe is restricted to not adding new galaxies. You may add new sectors to existing galaxies, and this will, in practice work out almost identically, except that you will be in more of a position to interact with other users.

My guess is that you will find yourself perfectly able to make due with 3 new sectors in Milky Way or Andromeda. If you cannot, that would demonstrate that the fiction universe is literally full.

If you are unsure if you can do it, please explain why you think that you need hundreds of billions of stars for what you have planned. If you want proof of how much you can accomplish with very little, take a look at Katar Sector. It is a few thousand light-years across, and contains 3.6 million stars. It is currently the host to more than 15 empires, and has the capacity to tell hundreds of stories. It functions almost exactly like a galaxy, only there are a bunch of low-tier empires not from it that can interact with it, or at least, there could be.

Now I must ask, what is stopping you from replacing your three new galaxies with a single sector, ten times the size of Katar. (35,000 light years, 36,000,000 stars,) which is divided into three chunks, (Each a little over 11,600 light years across, containing 12,000,000 stars)? What could you possibly need a galaxy for that you cannot do with that? You could put three, gigantic (Million Star) Empires in each one, and still leave plenty of room for smaller empires by yourself and others. Even then, that's not even the limit on the space that you can have.

If you are skeptical, just TRY it. The Galamond sector, containing whatever persons from Xanthrus survived the annihilation in the Xanthrus Subsector, Whatever persons survived from Phradox in the Phradox Subsector, and the Valian empire in the Rhose Subsector. If this truly does not give you everything you need, then there is likely some problem that needs to be solved.

I do not mean to tell you what to write. What I just explained was merely a suggestion and nothing more. If you want to create a private universe, go ahead, but I think you would miss out on the potential for interaction.
