imo tvtropes is a good way to unnecessarily straitjacket your brain. Be as the demiurge and ignore the tagging of cataloguing administrators who know naught of writing, except by a paint by numbers approach of omfgsocool and cliche

So, why is it set in the void and not in a more run-of-the-mill galaxy?

I don't want to make my book weigh a ton by cataloging every civilization of a normal galaxy. Plus, it's easier to make disasters, so a large supernova explosion might very well hit an inhabited place and create drama, it probably won't in a normal galaxy :)
