Galactic empire

Galactic empires are a common trope used in science fantasy and science fiction, particularly in space opera. Many authors have either used a galaxy-spanning empire as background, or written about the growth or decline of such an empire. The capital of a galactic empire is frequently a core world or home world. The best known to the general public today is probably the Galactic Empire from Star Wars, which was formed in turn from the Galactic Republic.
