One thing that I think would be rather interesting for a nomadic empire would be if there was a sort of Crisis path where you use your waystations or something similar as a giant quantum catapult or the like to launch your arkship to another galaxy with the galactic map being messed up in the aftermath due to the sheer force imparted on local spacetime by the jump. Maybe let you choose if you want to continue with a surviving empire.
