Wild Space - Rim Systems

I'm not certain but there might be a stray "add = 9999" in the solar system initializer included in this mod. Right after it checks that the system is greater than 0.9 from the core there are two "add = 9999" entries. One inside the modifier check brackets and another outside. It looks off to me so I thought I'd mention it.

dark matter basically holds galaxies together. There isn't a gravitational source strong enough to keep everything over those great distances, not even the supermassive black hole at the center, which exerts control over just the immediate area around it. The dark matter halo keeps everything in a galaxy together. All the stars in the galaxy orbit around the core at the same speed whether they are in the closest inner parts or the furthest outer rims, (except of course, the ones in the immediate vicinity of the central black hole). Without the dark matter halo, the stars would all be orbitting the core at different speeds, faster in the center and slower the further out you go and the entire galaxy would just fly apart.

I'm no physicist, but maybe they're orbiting the Galactic Core, with that acting as their anchor?

From a point of view of strict physics, shouldn't this be unnecessary? Any objects at the galactic rim lacking a gravitational anchor would be lost anyway, right? Otherwise the galaxy has essentially already ended, right?

This is not criticism, just wondering.

I believe that means the outer border of the galaxy. Odd that this mod exists though, didn't the original already do this?

Galactic Rim? I don't really understand what this is supposed to do. Can you add some pictures or expand the description?
