Galactic Empire



#REDIRECT Galactic_empire

Galactic empire



Galactic empires are a fairly common theme (literature) in science fiction. The idea suffers from practical difficulties, not least that it often requires faster-than-light travel (and communication) to hold the empire together. Nonetheless, many authors have either used a galactic empire as background, or written about the growth or decline of such an empire. The capitol of a galactic empire is frequently a core world. Some of these empires are clearly based on the Roman Empire; the Galactic Empire (Asimov) of Isaac Asimov's Foundation series (which inspired empires of later writers and director (film)) being an obvious example. The best known to the general public today is probably Galactic Empire (Star Wars), which was formed in turn from the Galactic Republic (Star Wars). ==Science Fiction with Galactic Empires== *''Dune universe'' - Padishah Empire *''Foundation Series'' - Galactic Empire (Asimov) *''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'' - Imperatala Galacticon *''Star Wars'' - Galactic Empire (Star Wars) *''Warhammer 40,000'' - Imperium (Warhammer 40,000) ==External links== *[http://www.theforce.net/swtc/astro.html Astrophysical concerns for a galactic empire], from the [http://www.theforce.net/swtc/ Star Wars Technical Commentaries] Fictional governments Science fiction themes
