This will give you an idea of what it means.

Pan was a pagan deity. Galactic is a word to describe something that affects the entire galaxy. Therefore, "Pan-Galactic" describes a pagan deity with influence over the entire galaxy.

this is why I love nerds:)

So lets debate the appropriateness of the term Pan-Galactic as opposed to Inter-Planetary or Trans Galactic,
are pan-galactic confederations viable in situations of sub-light speed communications?
is Pan-Galaticism inherently imperialistic?
should we forgo a intra Galactic focus and instead move toward Trans-Universalism?
How do terrestial cultures maintain distinctiveness within the expanding Galactic conurbation?

So pansexuality means being attracted to anyone, using that as an example, I would assume pangalactic would be all the galaxies? So in that context, pangalactic means a war the literally involves every galaxy?
