The most simple solution would be to make some changes to the source
code...

You could start with a fairly big, empty galaxy, with most
of the worlds located in the middle.... as the game
progresses  new homes and planets could be added to the
border of the galaxy...

Adding players and planets is not very difficult... there
are funtions in the code that can do that...
Have a look at the source code of create.c in the GalaxyNG source code.

Basically you want to add a new command to the server
that reads a turn file, adds a few planets, and players, and then
writes back the new turn.

have a look at main.c to see how you can add new commands.

Have Fun,
Frans.
