instead of galaxy 1-9 (boring...) why don't you name them?
also (just a suggestion) you could make it so that the player with the most planets in a system could name that system. if there was a tie then it would have no name.
if you change the name of the Galaxy, where will it show up besides the Galaxy view page or the fleet page? so how exactly would this work if you would care to elaborate.
Provided it came up with something like <Insert galaxy name here (Admin choice/player vote for name?)> <Player with the most planets in system decided name> System (g:sss) that would be fine by me.
