I wonder whether it will be possible to make these interstellar/interplanetary drives...
-
These drives are just "things" in spore that are not described at all throughout the game. There is no description about how these drives work and what they run on.
A real way to travel long distances in space is a drive I made up that's kinda like a jet engine, except backwards.
See, there's a long hollow tube. At one end there is a high energy laser pointer inside. the other side is a solar sail like coverage that is pushed by the laser, ultimately tugging the vessel around.

The drives probably run on hypermatter, like star wars :)

I know this isn't realistic but still

Yes but how fast will it run(for e.g 20% of light?)
-
It depends on the size and the laser energy, but solar sails are a very efficient but slowish way of traveling near the speed of light

I went into the galactic center after destroying the Grox and I must say that they have entered into another dimension ... but spore is a game not astronomical: P on planet earth Italy is as large as half of me spaceship :P
