>What are the effects of magnetic field lines on star formation in galaxies?

  These natural magnetic fields in galaxies and their gradients,
  I think, are relatively weak. Over long timescales and over larger
  spatial regions, their effects can accumulate and become noticeable.
  But to drive a spacecraft, you'd need fields that are fairly strong
  at the location of the ship and at the moment the ship is there.
