Irrelevant Part Just to Remove an Inaccurate Calc
So first thing's first, we have the Celestial Towers at Brown Dwarf level for moving moons very fast. But as you can see, even in the comments of the calc, those aren't moons, they are planets. The Wiki says this, and this comes from an official developer changelog.
I don't know if the image loaded, so the source site is here. It's the bottom text. With the time frame the moon calc gives, even with the closest planet, the speed is FTL. The feat would be nerfed to wherever the GBE of the planet is. Puts stuff that scales to this to Planet who aren't Celestial Towers, Endgame Terrarian and Moon Lord, for the reasons you'll see below.
Now for the juicy stuff.
Galaxy Statement and Supporting Evidence
The tooltip for the Nebula Fragment states that it contains the power of a whole galaxy, pretty straightforward. These are used to craft armor and weapons. Should scale to end-game Terrarian, Celestial Towers, and Moon Lord. Now how is this not just some random one-off statement and actually impressive? Well first, the Celestial Towers pulling the planets close is easily a very casual feat, since it's done as a byproduct by their presence, and they still have the power to have a whole army to fight the Terrarian before being defeated.
Second has to do with Terraria's official lore. In the lore, Cthulhu (just Moon Lord but before he fled) was able to threaten the fabric of Terraria, before all the Dyrads' combined power and their ambiguous magical empowerment from the planet allowed them to severely weaken him into fleeing to the other side of the Moon.
"Hey hey, wait. But doesn't it say Cthulhu was trying to destroy all life on the planet specifically?"
Yes, in the paragraph before. However, the lore uses the word "Terraria" to refer to the universe as well. The statement "fabric of Terraria" makes very little sense if said in the context of the planet. It is far more likely referring to the universe of Terraria ("Fabric of the Earth" compared to the "fabric of the universe/reality"). Additionally, the lore images are in the perspective of an observing historian, and so they use the word "seemingly" when talking about Moon Lord's plan, and given they live on the planet that is being endangered, it makes sense for them to assume their planet is the one being targeted.
"If it was written by someone who isn't a godly being, how do they know about the creation of the universe?"
The events of Moon Lord are still a current event at the time it was written. The creation of the universe and other various things such as the Corruption and Crimson are things that are likely to have been figured out hundreds of years ago through experimentation and whatever magical ways they found that out. That, and they explain the creation of the world earnestly with zero doubt, unlike talking about the Moon Lord, who they write with unsure-ness. It would also be impossible for them to find the true motive or plans of Moon Lord, given they fled to "this day".
Of course, Terrarian wouldn't scale to a full-power Moon Lord. This is because Moon Lord was weakened when retreating to the Moon, and is said to be regaining his power presumably, which is told further when they explain that the Mechanic's Mechanical Bosses were all meant to fuse with Moon Lord to gain his power to full again. Even in-game, we see Moon Lord having no lower body, meaning they are clearly weakened, and the Terrarian just beats them in smaller chunks.
"Bruh, so why you saying all of this"
Why is any of this relevant? This is just to show that massively powerful beings such as Moon Lord (debatably Uni+ for threatening the fabric of the universe, but doesn't matter, point is that they're insanely powerful and above Planet level) do, and have existed in Terraria, and thus the statement about the Nebula Fragments holding the power of a galaxy within them isn't an outlier written on a whim, and does actually fall in line with levels of power in the series. Additionally, it's something that is on every piece of Nebula Fragment you get, and every Fragment type has a different statement about the nature of them (note that the "fury" of the universe isn't really something quantifiable since we have no clue what this suggests, so no Universal Terraria, but Galaxy is very blatant).
