While I do now understand the 20-system handicap, why would you prefer extragalactic colonies to intragalactic ones? If you can do intergalactic travel, those handicaps no longer affect you. Therefore you should easily have a massive domain compared to most empires here before going intergalactic.

This kinda seems like if you had a city-state in europe with no other powers around it, and it decides to go to the new world. Spain still had a large home territory and a large home army. Say if suddenly these intergalactic-capable species decided to make a large military by colonizing home galaxy worlds, and then conquered all of your 20 measly systems, while you are having fun with your couple of extragalactic colonies?
