How can I rotate the galaxy to not be fixed to a plane, but a random angle?

You could generate it "on the Z plane" as you say, and then apply 

Woops! I meant the XY plane.

a coordinate rotation to each point to rotate the body to some
arbitrary orientation.  Google coordinate rotation.


That did it, thanks.
