Not to be confused with the (most likely) dead Kerbal Galaxy 2, this is just the development thread for a different galactic mod This is the development thread for a Galaxy mod I'm making that DOES involve stars orbiting around a central black hole, but instead of the 6-8 or so stars in Kerbal Galaxy 2, this is supposed to be an actual GALAXY, with a full 526 stars and 955 planets, a minority of the planets being rogue planets/planetary mass brown dwarfs (which do exist in reality), and all of those will be gas giants with moons. There will be: 228 Red dwarfs 36 Orange dwarfs 21 Yellow dwarfs 9 Yellow-white dwarfs 2 White giants 1 Blue-white giant 1 Blue giant 210 Brown dwarfs 5 White dwarfs 2 Neutron stars 2 Black holes (1 is the central black hole) 50 Rogue planets 5 planetary mass brown dwarfs Aaaand lots'a moons. Like, a whole metric ton of them if they each weighed the same as a grain of sand I know all of this sounds insane, but I'm going to attempt it.

http://www.cnet.com/au/news/hubble-spots-mother-lode-of-250-ancient-tiny-galaxies/ The article links the consistent clearing of UV opaque space, called reionization, with the appearance of a large number of very faint galaxies about 700 to 900 million years after the big bang. These 250 galaxies represent the sphere of comoving space that took 13 billion years to reach us, thus we cannot know their ultimate fate; however we can surmise an approximate density. Couldh've the dust from the original stars, including supermassive stars we may never see and their associated shock waves triggered this round of star formation. I could imagine for example cosmic rays that slowed as they moved through increasingly variant comovong space relative to their origin, start interacting with gas.
