Just use a faster warp drive.

It's not possible for any warp drive that fast- fast enough to get across the Milky Way- to be invented within the next few centuries. I don't know if you know anything about science, but this is like telling me that a steamboat can sail to the moon if it has a strong enough engine. The science really isn't there. I've researched this sort of thing myself. We may as well add magical faeries that whisk us across the galaxy. 

It's. Not. Possible. It just isn't.
