    Trek ships don’t go to other galaxies often, they specifically talk about it being incredibly slow to even go to tbe other side of our galaxy. That’s the whole premise of Voyager, they got stranded at the other end of the galaxy and it will take decades to get back. The exception of course being discovery with its spore drive. They have no issues leaving the galaxy, though they don’t do it often.

    • Huh. Memory Alpha confirms your outrageous claims. The Federation is only 8kly across‽ Absurd. That’s tiny! Why, one of the shortest Kettle Runs done was 12 parsecs - around 40ly - and that’s just a little trade route.
