In theory, yes to both. In practice, a micro-rift would be pretty simple, needing a miniscule amount of PPE to open. Rifting a galaxy would require a monumental amount of PPE to accomplish, and would likely be a one time fluke of nature.

Micro-Rifts are mentioned in a few places in Rifts.

A Mega Rift to Rift a galaxy through while possible, is likely going to be very PPE intensive.

Unknowable. Nothing published even hints at the possibility or lack thereof. I would assume no until something is published to that effect, but a GM can do whatever he wants.

One example doesn't make it a rule! More people need to experiment to prove it wrong! ;-)

yes...but weren't the Atlanteans trying to create ONE rift that would connect to many many dimensions...then it created the massive one as a mistake? or maybe you meant that tongue in cheek and I am being too serious.

Considering that a continent-sized Rift is a deific power of a dragon-god, I'm not even sure who could do a planet-sized one, much less a sun or solar system or galaxy.
