The first one that popped to mind doesn't quite fit; Arcot, Wade, & Morey
have an encounter with what we'd today call a neutron star, unexpectedly.
I'm recalling several encounters with stories that warn about the dangers
of running across an unmapped black hole while hyperspacing, but details
aren't coming to mind, and don't know if any of them count as 'between
galaxies'.

The Xeelee built almost the exact opposite of your query, once... :)
