And it's an understandable fear. There are hundreds of thousands of light years of nothing between galaxies, and even hyperspace has its limits. A familiar cycle of violence was probably much more preferable to a long period in the unknown void.
It probably doesn't help that going "beyond the Rim" has become something of an epithet for death or the afterlife for fans and writers later on. Lost Tales (direct to video "movies") refers to a couple of characters played by now-deceased actors as going beyond the Rim.
