Maxis, under pressure from the community to fix the issue, has released a such a mod that will address the problem of unreachable star systems near the core. This means that without a mod, the Grox cannot be completely defeated. However, a problem quickly presented itself there are a few star systems that, because of the reduced maximum travel radius when approaching the Galactic Core, are too far away from any other star to be reached. Many players, having gotten most or all of the badges and achievements, turned their attention to possibly the greatest challenge the game presents: destroying The Grox Empire. The mod can be downloaded here or in Patch 1.04. It was made to fix a glitch in the core game, where some star systems controlled by The Grox Empire were too far away from reach.

Expanded Travel Radius is an official modification made by Maxis.
