It depends on the type of space travel and communication that has developed. A galactic civilization would probably have worked out faster-than-light travel via wormholes or warp drives and some sort of quantum entanglement based instant communication system. Or more likely it's based on science we can't even imagine. In any case they might be as tightly knit as the people of Earth are now.
