The Empire	comment	The Evil Counterpart to The Republic. The Foil to The Good Kingdom. The Shadow Archetype (or evil twin sister) to Hegemonic Empire. The Rival to The Federation. The Arch-Enemy of La RÃ©sistance. The Logical Extreme of the Rising Empire. The Empire's central defining Grand Ambition is World (Or Interstellar/Galactic/Universal) Domination. Amassing The Evil Army, it sets out to conquer all of its neighbours and be the sole superpower by force of arms. Taking cues from history, it often resembles historical empires (or empire-esque regimes) in some way. Led by The Emperor, who is usually also an Evil Overlord, Emperor Scientist, God-Emperor and/or some kind of theocratic cabal. A theocracy of a Religion of Evil will almost certainly be the Empire. The Dictatorship can also overlap with the Empire, especially if they are ruled by a clique of totalitarians. The Empire is typically Obviously Evil, but may still attempt to represent itself as the Lightbearer of Civilization, Defender of Faith, Domain of Law and Order, The Co-Prosperity Sphere, Central State of Humankind or Legitimate Regent of Humanity. A People's Republic of Tyranny may overlap with these titles. The Empire may be genuinely highly civilized, wealthy, organized, and/or vital, or corrupt, bureaucratic, sybarite and/or ossified. It may be militaristic and imperialistic, or pacifistic and turned inwards. In nearly all instances, the Empire features an original founding polity, usually a race or nationality, who stand above and enjoy special privileges that are denied to the Empire's various subject peoples. Overall will adhere to the trope Order Is Not Good. Of course, there's going to be some kind of Resistance movement within its borders, and small autonomous nations without who may need encouragement by the heroes to become The Alliance, especially if that means the Empire could start attacking a nation's homeland in order to transform it into a territorial posession. They may also be helped by Les Collaborateurs. There may also be one or more powers that oppose it, often good kingdoms or republics, which may or may not band together into The Alliance. The Empire is usually too strong to defeat militarily (unless the story is set in a war strategy video game), but taking down the leaders while they're instigating their sinister plan is usually enough. Or La RÃ©sistance may well turn out to be nothing but a treasonous clique to overthrow the government or dynasty and replace it with something even more cruel and brutal, or a nationalist, racist or xenophobic separation movement. The actual legal definition of an empire is basically a country or polity that gets to boss around several other ones. If the Empire and The Federation exist in the same universe, the two are usually at war, just recovering from a war, or dangerously close to getting into one (the latter two often coincide). If The Republic is a separate entity alongside The Federation, you'll usually find them taking shots at one another prior to forming a pact against the Empire; they could've been longstanding rivals, they might view the other as the Empire, or they might've been pinned against each other by the Empire. If The Good Kingdom is in the same universe, expect the Empire to occupy it (at best) or assault it (at worst); The Good Kingdom could've been neutral ground, the original head/proposer of The Alliance, or a simple victim of the Empire's bid for dominance. If the Empire is part of The Alliance, you can make a good bet for it being the Token Evil Teammate. Note that just being called an Empire is not sufficient to qualify a nation for this trope. There are many stories, especially in the Heroic Fantasy and Historical Fiction genres, with polities called "empires" that are less overtly antagonistic. These types of empires may be better described as an expansionist monarchy, a culturally dominant Hegemonic Empire, a militaristic federation, a nationalist republic, or a more centrally controlled alliance. Weakened or weakening versions of the Empire often become Vestigial Empires. If the Empire has been overthrown or mostly overthrown but what's left of it is fighting to get back into power, it's The Remnant. One of its provinces may be a Voluntary Vassal, rather than a conquered one. The Empire tends to have its Standard Evil Empire Hierarchy. For works named Empire, see this disambiguation page. Suffice it to say that the Trope Namer is the Imperium Romanum. Other than that, No Real Life Examples, Please!. Most Real Life historical empires have fallen under the Hegemonic Empire class; infamously cruel empires tend not to last very long in the real world. See People's Republic of Tyranny when The Republic or The Federation acts like an Empire despite not technically being one itself. These examples often have The Generalissimo as its ruler instead of the Emperor. noreallife

They get the fancier equipment and the more villainous characters who seek to sow strife, but while initially an antagonizing force, it is discovered that it is mostly through the manipulations of the high-ranking nobleman Gunter Prozen that caused war to break out and, once the rightful ruler is returned to power, the Guylos Empire becomes a vital ally to the heroes and a more benevolent force. It keeps the name "Guylos Empire", however.

The Empire / int_12ab1d9d	comment	Arc the Lad: The Dilzweld Empire. Their army seems unstoppable— at the start of the game, they are about to attack The World Alliance (Huh, kinda sounds like The Federation, don't it?), the grouping of the other five mighty nations, and they are certain they can win. Although, they might have some trouble with that, considering whole platoons of their gun-packing Army (they have mechs and airships, too) are defeated with little difficulty by a group of adventurers armed with a sword, an axe, a bow, and some kind of barbed fishing fly on a string. The Romalian Empire were actually somewhat competent and are the cause of all the problems in the series. The Academy from Arc the Lad 3 fit this trope too, albeit they are a collection of scientists and scholars.. with platoons of soldiers with heavy machine guns and plans to rule the world. Romalia is a subversion: it started as a commercial empire, because a Romalian merchant was the first to discover spirit stones and to use them as an energy source: When Arc the Lad start, Romalia has been the world first super-power for already 1000 years, thanks to its control of the energy supplies, and things started to go really bad only one generation ago.

The Empire / int_14d341dc	comment	As of Star Trek Online, the Klingon Empire has again reverted back to its TOS practices, once more dropping its alliance with the Federation and waging a war of conquest in the Alpha Quadrant. So far it has conquered Gorn and several other worlds, established military alliances with the Nausicaans and Orions and has made several incursions into Federation space. Overall it's now the second leading superpower in the ST universe after the Federation (discounting the Borg, Undine and Iconians). Over the course of the gameplay the Klingon Empire ends up drifting back over a series of Enemy Mine incidents to the TNG state of downplaying the Empire bit since it would make the Federation-Klingon alliance look less sympathetic. Several other empires or would-be empires end up being some of those Enemy Mine incidents — the alliance between the Tal Shiar and Sela's Romulan Star Empire, while mostly The Empire to other Romulans (and the Remans), make several aggressive moves in the early story, the Terran Rebellion in DS9 turns out have re-established the Terran Empire (and some factions in it are interested in branching out to conquest of the other reality), Laas makes an abortive move to use terrorist Cardassians and left-over Alpha Jem'Hadar to found a Dominion-in-the-Alpha-Quadrant, the Vaadwaur are brutally re-creating their long-gone Supremacy...

The Empire / int_1641fd92	comment	Sunrider has two historical empires in its backstory. The Holy Ryuvian Empire was a theocratic stated ruled by a succession of God Emperors, and it controlled the entire galaxy for tens of thousands of years before it went into a sharp decline. By the present day it has become a Vestigial Empire consisting of a single backwater planet. The New Empire was founded in the wake of the Ryuvian Empireâ€™s collapse, and its rulers saw themselves as successors to the Ryuvian God-Emperors. It was an oppressive place where the elite lived in luxury on the paradise planet of Eden Prime, while the rest of their citizens toiled in poverty. They tried to conquer the entire galaxy and were the dominant superpower for several hundred years, until the fledgling Solar Alliance defeated them in the Alliance-Imperial War and stopped their conquest cold in its tracks. Over the next century a revolution would sweep through its territories, causing the New Empire to collapseâ€”and be reorganized into the Peopleâ€™s Alliance for Common Treatment, or PACTâ€”several years before the start of the game.

The Empire / int_16cfb2e5	comment	The Witchlands has two, though with the story running on Grey-and-Grey Morality, it's debatable how evil they are. Cartorra used to be a Hegemonic Empire, and still dominates Witchlands culturally, but at some point decided that it's time to turn warlike. They are mostly villainous, threatening Merik's homeland and capturing and zombifying unregistered witches. Marstoki Empire has always been very militaristic, and their army is quite infamous for their use of Firewitches. This being said, while they menace the heroes in book one, the relationship between the two groups gets much better as the story goes on.

The Empire / int_17655771	comment	The Wasp Empire in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series is an ultra-militaristic autocracy with an economy based on conquest and slavery, and itâ€™s mentioned repeatedly that it has to keep expanding or itâ€™ll implode. In politics it ticks all the stereotypical imperial checkboxes: to name a few, The Right of a Superior Species, obsession with martial strength, and a pervasive State Sec with spies everywhere. Every book in the series deals directly or indirectly with the Waspsâ€™ ongoing attempt to conquer the world, with a short period of Succession Crisis in the middle which sees the new Empress re-conquering secessionist bits of the Empire, after which it carries on as before. In the end, the Empire doesnâ€™t fall (though it comes very close), but a coup reforms it from within into a slightly less evil and significantly more stable Imperial Republic, which is no longer incentivized to conquer its neighbors. In the process, a not-insignificant remnant faction of the old guard flees to a semi-independent border territory, and a short story set some years later involves the Imperial Republic dealing with them.

The Empire / int_17bfcf60	comment	The Galaxy-spanning Taiidan Empire in Homeworld can perhaps best be described as what would have happened if the Galactic Empire from Star Wars had been allowed to remain intact for 4000 years. Not very pretty. The Back Story reveals that the Hiigarans were pretty imperialistic in the old days, boldened by the fact that they had one of the three original hyperspace cores, giving them immense power. They use it to transport their fleet past the Taiidani defense lines right above the Taiidani homeworld, raining destruction on it. After the Bentusi interfered and took away their core, and wiped out a sizable chunk of their fleet, the vengeful Taiidani struck back and drove the Hiigarans from their homeworld, which they took for themselves as repayment.

The Caanan Empire seems like the above FE examples at first, but you later find out it's practically an outright Hero Antagonist. Its top ranking generals are all Anti Villains (yes, even Prince Julius), and eventually get smart enough to realize their emperor is just a puppet of the Theocracy of Gazel, and decide to actually work with the leader of La RÃ©sistance (who happens to be their long-lost prince) to expose this. Unfortunately, your army kills them all before they get the chance. Meanwhile, in Tear Ring Saga's sequel, Berwick Saga, the Raze Empire is played straight...at first.

The Empire / int_28df3e79	comment	In the There Was Once an Avenger From Krypton series, there are several examples in the greater cosmos. There's the Galra, obviously, which covers the most territory by far, and is an oppressive regime. The Gem empire, despite covering far less territory overall, has completely conquered their entire home dwarf galaxy and portions of every other surrounding galaxy with a thoroughness the Galra can't match, and Moonstone believes that they would have conquered the universe by now if they weren't so methodical about extracting everything useful that they can before moving on. The Kree have an empire as well, though Carol has resulted in it being significantly defanged. The Nova Corps is technically an empire, but they're fairly hands-off as long as a world remains affiliated and doesn't engage in "bullshit like slavery", as Carol puts it. This is part of why, despite the Akiridions being one of the oldest and most loyal members of the empire, Nova Prime has given orders not to interfere with Morando's coup. The fact that they will need Akiridion's military forces against the Black Order is another factor. Krypton had an interstellar empire back in its heyday, one that was far-reaching enough that Kara is deeply confused that no one else she's met with knowledge of the wider galaxy has ever heard of it. As per Mass Effect canon, the Protheans once had an empire that dominated the Milky Way. Though instead of the Reapers (who don't exist here), they were instead destroyed in a rebellion by a coalition of repressed races, spearheaded by the Kree and Skrulls. The Cluster, though they're a relatively small example, settling mostly for colonizing Kree planets that have been hollowed out by the Gems. Which doesn't keep them from being viewed as a potential threat by Earth.

The Split are the straighter version in that they're the only member of the Commonwealth that still practices slavery.

The Confederation is similar to the Terran Empire but lacks its Chronic Backstabbing Disorder complex that became its downfall, instead going on to conquer the Cardassians, Klingons, Romulans, and the Borg. Its most ruthless military leader is General Jean-Luc Picard, who has led numerous campaigns of conquest against other races aboard his flagship the CSS World Razer (think Enterprise-D but armed to the teeth) and has personally slain alien leaders (including Martok, Dukat, and Sarek), whose skulls he keeps in his trophy room.

Praes is ruled by a Dread Emperor/Empress (who nearly always comes to power by ursupation) and their court of famously rich, evil and back-stabbing nobles, as well as a well-oiled (if corrupt) bureaucracy. Her armies, the Legions of Terror (often aided by blood rituals, Named villains, flying fortresses or eldritch magic experiments) periodically try to conquer the neighboring country Callow. In two thousand years, they have suceeded twice: once under Dread Empress Triumphant who conquered the whole continent, and recently after a new generation of more pragmatic villains implemented reforms.

The Empire / int_33dd1d90	comment	The Combine of Half-Life 2 are possibly one of the most expansive Empires in all of fiction, and that's genuinely saying a lot. Seriously, most fictional empires would be satisfied with merely taking over the world or, at most, the galaxy. The Combine instead conquered the entire universe. But even then, even that wasn't enough for them, so they made portals to other universes and proceeded to conquer them too. Oh, and they say it's for our own good, though. It genuinely cannot be stressed how massive the Combine is, to the point it can be mistaken for a Parodied Trope. They have millions of species enthralled to them, likely tens if not hundreds of universes in their domain, and likely an economy, bureaucracy and military/population size that goes beyond human comprehension. And yet every bit of the Combine is played nightmarishly straight, to the point they could've likewise been the Trope Codifier for Aliens Are Bastards as well! It says a lot that when the Combine sent a mere token force of its whole army to Earth after the events of the first game, they've ended a war with the entirety of Earth's fighting military in just seven hours. However, the only reason why they haven't up and crushed the resistance on Earth to paste is arguably because of their sheer size, making them a more realistic example than most. Despite having an empire spanning across tens if not hundreds of universes, the Combine are highly bureaucratic, extremely inefficient, and don't even have teleportation technology anywhere near on the level of Black Mesa or Aperature Science, from a civilization that's decidedly more primitive than them! It's because of their sheer size that ends up destroying the Citadel, the nexus which they communicate to the Combine homeworld with, thus stranding the remaining Combine soldiers on Earth and actually giving humans a fighting chance to overthrow their oppressors.

The Empire / int_3c65a1d1	comment	The Humankind Empire Abh from Crest of the Stars. Their mode of operation is to forcibly take over planets that do not have faster-than-light travel, though oddly they do not interfere with those planets which have purchased the technology from others. In the novels this is explained by the fact that their empire began on an interstellar merchant ship, and that they still respect "vested rights". They do not seem to be overtly oppressive towards the planets they control, but they do not allow any starship not owned by the Empire to be armed or use faster-than-light travel technology. Then there's the fact that only the "space elves" in charge are able to command warships, though this is due mainly to their physiology, not overt racism. Actually, it used to be due to physiology, during the infancy of space travel, which is the purpose for which the Abh were created in the first place, but now with Casual Interstellar Travel, it is very much racism/classism. The opposing faction known as United Mankind, an Alliance of the three largest non-Abh galactic polities, are also seen to demonstrate culturally-invasive practices meant to absorb and hegemonize their dominant philosophies as well as espousing the belief that all Abh are 'rogue biological machines' which either need to be returned to human servitude or eliminated completely for the safety of 'real' humanity. It's something of a crapshoot either way.

The Empire / int_3e8c09b9	comment	Attack on Titan: Everyone living within the Walls is allegedly a descendant of a previous one, the Eldian empire. This empire is said to have used the power of the Titans to build a great kingdom for the People of Ymir, conquering and oppressing all other races through genocide and eugenics. A century prior to the series, a great conflict resulted in the empire collapsing, with King Fritz the 145th fleeing to the neighboring island of Paradis and constructing the walls to protect the Eldians. However, members of the Restorationist movement claim this story is mere propaganda and the Eldians actually used their powers to help all of humanity and build a thriving kingdom...before being betrayed and driven out. Eren Kruger speculated that both stories were nonsense, and the real history had simply been lost to time because of the competing propaganda wars. Marley, the militaristic nation that serves as the Greater-Scope Villain of the series. After overthrowing the Eldian empire, they established power by rounding up the Eldians left outside the Walls, placing them into Internment Camps and completely removing all rights from them. Propaganda teaches that the Eldians are "children of the devil", and must be kept under strict control to protect the world — and Marley is a "merciful" nation for permitting them to live inside their camps (as military assets). The nation heavily resembles Nazi Germany, with its abuse of a minority population and militaristic ambitions on the world. It wages wars on its neighbors in order to expand the empire, using the Titans to conquer neighboring countries and make them colonial territories. And when advancing technology meant a greater need for fossil fuels, the government announced that King Fritz had declared war on them and threatened to destroy the world with his army of Wall Titans. This provided justification to recruit Child Soldiers from the ghettos and offer them "Honorary Marleyan" status in exchange for their military service, in order to launch an invasion and extermination campaign against the Walls.

However, as you get further and further into the game — including a visit to Archades, Archadia's capital city —, you realize that the Archadian Empire isn't as evil as the protagonists want to believe, and neither is the Rozarrian Empire as benevolent as they seem. Of the three main antagonists, only one of them has true villainous intent (Vayne just wants to rule the world as Dynast-King), whereas the other two (Cid and Venat) are working with him to wrest control of Man's future from the hands of the Occuria and, outside of simply being on the opposite side of the protagonists, aren't all that bad.

The Empire / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV: The first and most prominent example is the Garlean Empire, the belligerent invading force against Eorzea and the primary antagonists of the game's main scenario. Thematically, they borrow heavily from FFVI's Gestahlians (including explicit use of magitek), the Imperials from Star Wars, not to mention titles and real-life imperial tactics (e.g. conscripting soldiers from conquered territory to weaken rebellion and bulk out Cannon Fodder) from Ancient Rome. Five thousand years ago from the game's timeline, most of the world was ruled by the Allagan Empire, the supreme power of the Third Astral Era. Compared to their conquests and ambitions, Garlemald is just a pale imitation of Allag's glory and vastly superior Lost Technology. Their creations and legacy are still felt to this day, often being uncovered by the Garleans to further their own conquest. Not even alternate universes are safe: The First, the location of Shadowbringers, has its own evil empire (if not in name, then certainly deed) in the form of Eulmore, a decadent kingdom whose subjects while away their days in luxury while waiting for the end of the world, and whose ruler seems doggedly determined to ensure the world ends.

Up to and including using a Magical Nuke powered by aforementioned god's ''love interest''. This only succeeds in really pissing off aforementioned God-Emperor.

Comic depiction aside, what little we see of its capital, Xandar, is a pristine, cosmopolitan semi-urban landscape (it was based off of Singapore's Gardens by the Bay). However, it's not all great: apparently the local (heavily militarized) law enforcement can send you to prison without a trial (none onscreen, at least). It is possible that the Corps was pushed to desperate measures, as they were dealing with a severe terrorist threat at the time of the movie.

The Silmarillion: Morgoth's realm, centered around Angband. It runs on the backs of slaves, the army is Always Chaotic Evil, the main entertainment is Cold-Blooded Torture, and the whole goal is to conquer and kill everybody on Arda. The Fall of NÃºmenor: The kingdom of NÃºmenor started as a peaceful country which was happy to explore the coasts of Middle-Earth and give their peoples gifts. As the NÃºmenoreans get corrupted, though, they become more greedier, prouder and crueler. One thousand years after NÃºmenor's foundation, the NÃºmenoreans found their first permanent havens in Middle-Earth and begin demanding and levying tributes from outlying areas. As the centuries go by, the NÃºmenoreans get worse, colonizing large swaths of Middle-Earth and controlling all the oceans. They also cut down all the old forests on the northwest continent to build fleets, and enslave entire native populations. And it gets even worse during the reign of their last king Ar-PharazÃ´n, who is described as the greatest tyrant in the world since Morgoth himself. They come "no more as the benevolent kings of old, not even as harsh rulers, but as fierce men of war" who sacrifice scores of people on the altars of Morgoth every day, using the Middle-earth natives, and take many others to slavery. This is more or less the reason why the Gondorians, descendants of the NÃºmenÃ³rÃ«ans, are so hated by the Dunlendings the Haradrim and Easterlings.

Their objective in the game is to establish the Empire part. Caesar, however, still thinks they're The Horde, and wants Vegas to be their Rome thus making them a true Empire. The New California Republic meanwhile plays with this trope. Their expansion into the Mojave Wasteland area is primarily driven by the desire to acquire resources, especially the still-intact Hoover Dam and the electricity it provides. The locals aren't entirely too keen on having the NCR around, seeing it (not entirely unfairly) as an inefficient and corrupted bureaucracy that levies high taxes and can't effectively patrol its frontier territories. However, the NCR is still miles above the Legion in term of moral authority.

The Empire / int_5bd0554b	comment	In Warcraft, Azeroth has had a few empires in its backstory. The Empire of Arathor was the first great human civilization. Formed in response to the looming threat of the trolls' own Amani Empire, it quickly fractured after the Amani were defeated. The present day human kingdoms were formed as a result. Anduin Lothar was the last of the Arathi bloodline, which helped him form the Alliance since the High Elves had an ancient debt to Arathor. The other human rulers suspected Lothar planned to reform the Empire of Arathor with the Alliance as a stepping stone, but he had no such ambitions. The trolls in their prime had a few empires such as the aforementioned Amani and the Zandalari. The Amani were defeated long ago by the Arathi, never to rise again. The Zandalari are still active and are the oldest known lasting empire on Azeroth. The Kaldorei Empire ruled over Old Kalimdor for ages. The civilization enjoyed great prosperity and power thanks to their access to the magic of the Well of Eternity. It all fell apart when Queen Azshara and her Highborne succumbed to the temptations of greater power offered by the Burning Legion. In its prime the Kaldorei Empire was one of the largest and mightiest empires Azeroth had ever known, second only to... ...The Black Empire. This was the dark civilization ruled by the Old Gods. It was populated mainly by the first two races spawned from the Old Gods' corruption of Azeroth: The n'raqi (the Faceless Ones) and the aqir, an insectoid race that were the precursors of the Nerubians, the Qiraji, and the Mantids. The Black Empire spread across all of Azeroth, spreading corruption and the Void wherever it touched. The Black Empire was so mighty at its height that it took no less than the Titans and their titan-forged armies to defeat it. Though the Black Empire is long gone, remnants persist. The last Old God N'Zoth seems dedicated to rebuilding it through any means. To this end he has recruited various pawns to help him, including Azshara and her Highborne, who became the Naga.

The Empire / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Warframe: Long before the events of the game, the Orokin Empire ruled the Origin System in a state of wealth and bliss... for the ruling nobility, that is. Everyone else were viewed as disposable pawns for the nobles to use and abuse as they pleased, as everyone outside those select few were considered less than dirt. Their decadent ways eventually came back to bit them hard, as the Sentients, adaptive terraforming drones sent to prepare the Tau System for colonization that became self-aware, decided that the Orokin could not be allowed to exist and nearly destroyed them in a Great Offscreen War. Their own saviors, the Tenno, then turned on the Orokin for their rampant cruelty and killed almost all of the nobility, collapsing the empire for good. The Grineer Empire began to try to establish their own rule over the Origin System after the Orokin fell, being a Clone Army of purpose-grown slaves under the leadership of the Grineer Queens, former Orokin that were themselves ostracised for being twins. When the Sentients return in full force and successfully conquer the Origin System in "The New War", they carve out an empire of their own: Narmer. All non-Sentient subjects are pacified by having a Narmer Veil placed upon their faces and are forced to sing the praises of their leader Ballas. While Narmer's dominion is shattered by the end of the quest and the Status Quo restored, they continue to try and rebuild their forces as The Remnant.

It is more similar to the USSR or Oceania than a traditional empire, controlled by a political body. The Cardassian Occupation of Bajor has shown the Cardassian Union to be particularly brutal. They're later overthrown in a coup d'etat which restored the civilian leadership. However, they prove to be even worse as they turn Cardassia into a Dominion member state. As it becomes more and more clear that they're just a vassal of their new "allies", La RÃ©sistance forms.

The Empire / int_6735aaf4	comment	And with Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, the Vagan have since joined the ranks of Gundam's many empires. Unlike most Gundam villain groups, the Vagans actually have a sympathetic reason backing them up: their nation began from Martian colonists who had been abandoned by the Earth Federation of the Advanced Generation universe and forced to endure living in a radioactive environment, resulting in much suffering and death. As such, the main drive for the Vagans is to escape their hellhole and return to Earth; unfortunately, they also want to exterminate Earth's native population along the way, as they see them akin to a disease that plagues their "Eden". And so just like the Zeon before them, the Vagans have no qualms committing genocide left and right, deliberately targeting civilian areas, even colonies and settlements with no Federation military presence, just For the Evulz. It gets even worse when their dear leader Fezarl Ezelcant, apparently channeling the spirit of Gihren Zabi across dimensions, revealed his real plan: selectively cause disasters and massacres, among both the Earthnoids and the Vagan, to kill off the weak and then bring the "strong", i.e. anyone that survives, into forming a perfect race. Obviously the guy's two Newtypes short of a White Base, but his followers are so fanatically loyal to him (such that they've been compared to the Helghast) that they don't see it; though for what it's worth, it seems Ezelcant's agenda is only known to a select few.

The Empire / int_6735bbf3	comment	The Crossbone Vanguard and the Jupiter Empire of Mobile Suit Gundam F91 and Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam. The Crossbone Vanguard was essentially a pirate themed Zeon-wannabe militia which sought to establish an aristocratically ruled dominion in Side 4, Cosmo Babylonia. Unlike Zeon however, it actually succeeded, but Cosmo Babylonia ended up collapsing on its own. Beside them, the Jupiter Empire, being more or less a precursor to Zanscare, sought to eradicate all life in the Earthsphere and then rule over the resulting wasteland. It also practiced many of Zanscare's tendencies, such as executions being commonly used for punishment, even for the most minor of crimes.

Technically The Alliance, consisting of the United States and the USSR, the CD becomes an interstellar empire, with Earth's nations really disliking the Alliance. It's also collapsing, because the US and USSR still hate each other. Eventually the CoDominium military forces leave the Earth when the USA and USSR blow each other to pieces (and other nations join in), to relocate on the planets Sparta and St. Ekaterina, where they found a full-bore aristocratic empire of their own. The last line of Prince of Sparta is "AVE. AVE LYSANDER, IMPERATOR".

The Empire / int_67ce5a04	comment	Fire Emblem Fates: The Kingdom of Nohr is another example of this, even if they're generally a lot more sympathetic than most Empires. Ruled by King Garon as a militaristic, medieval European kingdom inhabiting a bleak and desolate wasteland, they've been in a cold war with the Kingdom of Hoshido for as long as both nations can remember, and the game's selling point is which side you choose to fight for when the fighting does break out. Choosing Nohr ends up revealing they're hardly a straight example of The Empire, and are generally no different from Hoshido in having plenty of good people working for the empire, to the point the only two people within the empire who can truly be called odious are the King's advisors, Iago and Hans. Hell, virtually everyone else is portrayed sympathetically, especially your Family of Choice in Nohr, the Nohrian Royal family; even Garon is revealed to be merely a (literal) flesh-puppet for the Greater-Scope Villain, and part of the game's Golden Path has you broker a truce between Nohr and Hoshido to take the fighting to the true antagonist of the games.

The Empire / int_6a8ce345	comment	The Avatar franchise: The Fire Nation during the time of Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's even All There in the Manual that they're conquering the world for the same reason real empires in the Industrial Age did: they industrialized first and now need resources which they can get from their less advanced neighbors—though their stated purpose, that many sincerely believe in, is to bring the blessings of their prosperity and enlightened government to the whole world. Come Korra's time, the Fire Nation is indeed much more peaceful yet pacifistic because even though they're atoning/have atoned for the hundred years war, too many are still easily remembering the Fire Nation causing that war and thus they don't want to risk more bad blood. The Earth Kingdom in The Legend of Korra has traits of an empire, being the largest nation there is. It is ruled by the previous Earth King's evil and tyrannical daughter, Hou-Ting. Unlike her immediate predecessors, the Earth Queen's rule is more centralized (for one thing, the Dai Li are actually loyal to her), though she still has some trouble establishing order and collecting taxes outside the boundaries of Ba Sing Se due to the unpopularity of many of her rulings. After Hou-Ting's assassination, Kuvira spends three years bringing order to her chaos-ravaged land under the orders of the United Republic of Nations, only to strike out and form her own despotic Earth Empire.

Since his dogma is more or less a Card-Carrying Villain's primer and his clergy handle most of the day-to-day duties, it's not the most pleasant place. Forgotten Realms: Thay is ruled by the eight most powerful members of the evil Red Wizards, who support their regime with Black Magic and slavery, and later falls under the control of the powerful lich necromancer Szass Tam. Nentir Vale: The empire of Bael Turath was most definitely this, even forcing their entire populace into a Deal with the Devil when the empire was in danger of collapsing due to their own decadence. La Notte Eterna: The Karevi all belong to the Empire of Hidden Lands, a vast subterranean empire ruled by a cruel emperor and that worships an evil god.

The Peacekeeprs are a slight variation, though, since, by agreement with the other races, they are not allowed to control any planets (they operate mainly as an intergalactic protection agency). They are still a force to be reckoned with and are obsessed with racial purity. The Peacekeepers are, for the most part, Sebacaens, who are revealed in the wrap-up movie to be genetically-modified Transplanted Humans.

The Kushan Empire introduced later in the series is a more prominent example: they are also an expansionist, militaristic state whose emperor was turned into a literal demon and fills the ranks of his armies with monsters and demonic legions. He launches a genocidal campaign against Midland and even manages to take over its capital, employing brutal methods of ethnic cleansing, mass rapes and other atrocities. Their invasion soon turns convenient for Griffith to come in and save Midland from the foreign invaders with his badass Apostle army.

Territorially it was the most powerful grouping in the Milky Way Galaxy, but in fact it is deeply fractioned between numerous regional System Lords who constantly fight each other for supremacy and after the death of The Emperor Ra in the original movie any semblence of unity is long gone. This initially worked in the humans' favor so they could focus on taking out each threat one by one, but frequently one of the Goa'uld would emerge victorious over the others to fill the Evil Power Vacuum and attack Earth directly.

The Empire / int_733f2aaf	comment	Cradle Series: Because of the absurd use of Asskicking Leads to Leadership paired with Moral Myopia, nearly every nation is like this at least a little. In fact, sometimes it seems like the only reason the Akura vassal nations are considered better than the alternative is that at least the Akura conquer their enemies, while half the other powerful factions in the world think "cities are holding us back" and prefer to just live lives of nomadic, wandering destruction. That being said, the clearest examples are the original Blackflame Empire (founded by dragons, fell when the Dreadgods attacked), and the successor Blackflame Empire (founded by humans using powers stolen from dragons, fell when those powers consumed them). Both used their unparalleled destructive powers to conquer and control anyone and anything that got in their way. The modern Blackflame Empire, by the standards of the world, is practically The Good Kingdom, in that they only fight border skirmishes with their neighbors and will punish people who commit too much genocide.

True, the Khosali did ruthlessly conquer Earth many centuries ago, but they proved to be relatively benign rulers, for the most part. And even now, after humans became the first race to successfully revolt and win their freedom from the Khosali, diplomatic relations have become relatively cordial, for the most part. But the Humanity Prime folks are sure the the Khosali are just biding their time, waiting for an opportunity to reconquer their former territory. In actuality, the Khosali are mostly confused by the turn of events, and aren't quite sure how to react, but there are some people (both alien and human) on both sides of the border who would prefer to have the Khosali back in charge.

The Empire / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The Covenant is a theocratic empire of multiple alien species lead by religious zealots on a crusade to assimilate every race in the galaxy and reveal the divine truth of the Forerunners, whom they revere as gods. The Covenant teaches that by recovering extant Forerunner technology ("holy relics"), they will discover the locations of the Halos ("sacred rings") and obtain the means to embark upon the "Great Journey" - following in the path of the Forerunners and becoming gods themselves. In the year 2525 AD, the Covenant embarked on a holy war against Humanity, proclaiming the entire race to be an abomination to the gods. In reality, the true motivation behind the war was to erase all evidence indicating a special connection between Mankind and the Forerunners. The Covenant came dangerously close to achieving its goals, pushing the human race to the brink of extinction over the course of a protracted interstellar war and obtaining the means to activate the Halos, which in fact had no function but to kill all life in the galaxy. However, at the climax of the conflict the Covenant was torn asunder; shattering into a multitude of warring factions upon the betrayal of the Elites by the Prophets and the concurrent revelation that there was no "Great Journey". The UNSC was able to forge a alliance with the more human-friendly Elites and defeat what was left of the original Covenant, securing the continued survival of Humanity. The United Nations Space Command is the military, scientific, and colonial administration agency of human space in the twenty-sixth century. Despite being The Federation on paper, the UNSC is viewed by many of its own citizens as an oppressive, totalitarian empire, and indeed had its hands full fighting the Insurrectionists (though they are portrayed more as fanatical terrorists and mass-murderers rather than romantic freedom fighters). By the time of the first game, most of the Insurrection had been wiped out by the Covenant and the UNSC had tightened its control over the surviving worlds, with the central civilian government ceding to it most of its remaining powers. With the dissolution of the Covenant, the UNSC is currently one of the dominant interstellar powers in the Orion-Cygnus Arm (despite an Insurrectionist resurgence), as demonstrated by the commissioning of the Infinity and the SPARTAN-IV program. Before succumbing to the Flood, the Forerunners were the most powerful civilization in the Halo universe since the time of the Precursors; the Ecumene spanned the entirety of the Milky Way galaxy, encompassing over three million fertile worlds and controlling the most advanced technology ever conceived. The Forerunners believed fervently in the idea of the Mantle - a pseudo-philosophical/religious-political doctrine that charged the Forerunners with the custodianship of all life, no matter how great or small - which functioned as the driving force behind their society and the means to justify their continuing domination over the myriad "primitive" races inhabiting their galaxy, including ancient humanity. As shown in The Forerunner Saga, ancient humans (in conjunction with the San'Shyuum, aka Prophets) had their own expansionist interstellar empire during the age of the Forerunners, believing themselves to be the true inheritors of the Mantle. Eventually, humanity and the Forerunners ended up warring when the former began invading the latter's worlds; although nearly advanced as the Forerunners themselves, the humans and their allies were out-numbered, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered by their adversaries. The Forerunners defeated the humans and obliterated their civilization, deprived them of their technology and worlds, erased their culture and history, and exterminated most of their population - the remainder were subjected to biological regression and fragmented into numerous sub-species before being forevermore sequestered on Earth as a nature reserve and laboratory animal source (the San'Shyuum got off comparatively lightly due to surrendering first; their punishment was "merely" some forced genetic devolution and being permanently quarantined to their home system). Then the Forerunners realized the humans were not trying to conquer them, but instead were attempting to flee from the encroaching Flood.

The Empire / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect provides examples of imperial enterprise: Rising from their homeworld after reverse-engineering the Reapers' technology - the Mass Effect - the Protheans forged a mighty galactic empire through the aggressive assimilation of alien species; those who submitted were allowed to prosper under their Prothean masters and even have a circumspect voice in interstellar policy. Those who resisted - such as the Zha'til - were exterminated completely as an example to others. The once-mighty Batarian Hegemony is a vestigial empire in an advanced stage of decay by the time humans appear on the galactic stage. Cruel and despotic, but otherwise corrupt and ineffectual, the Batarians are Humanity's primary extraterrestrial rivals in the latter's efforts to colonize space. Rather than jeopardize its dwindling military resources in an all-out war with the Alliance and risk the unilateral intervention of the Council races, the Hegemony has resorted to financially backing independent pirate and slaver attacks on outlying human settlements. In contrast to the previous entries, the Turian Hierarchy is an example of the good empire. A Council race and a civilization of professional soldiers; the turians live, breathe, and die on the mantra that the needs of the many outweigh the few and that no personal sacrifice is neither too small nor too great for a cause greater than one's self. The turians are the Mass Effect galaxy's peacekeeping force, holding the barbarians at bay and preventing the light of civilized life from ever being extinguished. The turians also maintain a string of client-states on the periphery of their territory; races that have accepted turian dominion in exchange for guaranteed protection and limited sovereignty. The Volus in particular provide necessary economic infrastructure that the turians have always lacked. When humans made first contact with the Alliances' armed forces at Shanxi, the turians chose to wage war and assimilate the humans into their empire as a client race. Their efforts backfired when their mobilization drive provoked an intervention from the Citadel council and the subsequent negotiations brought the conflict to a close and Humanity was inducted into the galactic community. The kett, of Mass Effect: Andromeda are of the cruel and despotic kind. A mix of theocracy and aristocracy, they had some manner of Dark and Troubled Past, which they fixed with "exaltation" (read: creating more kett via using other people), and decided it was their religious duty to take this on the road. By the 28th century CE, they've apparently managed to conquer a large portion of the Andromeda Galaxy (their military leader in the Heleus Cluster declares himself the inheritor of "a thousand species"). Mention is made that their empire is not comprised exclusively of kett, and that they do keep some species as "vassals", but given the kett attitude towards other lifeforms is usually that they're fodder for scientific experiments, it probably isn't much better than their standard operating practice.

The Empire / int_7dad8347	comment	FreeSpace has the Ancients' Empire in its Back Story, which fell 8,000 years before the game begins, annihilated by the Shivans. The Back Story is told from the Ancients' point of view, chronicling their rise and fall, painting them somewhat sympathetically as victims of the "Cosmic Destroyers"... it's easy to forget that they were a galaxy-spanning war machine conquering planets and enslaving species left and right: "And we saw other advanced life, and we subdued it, or we crushed it..." The Shivans could almost be seen as the heroes in this case. The Vasudans are also governed by an Empire, though it seems to be a fairly benevolent one. It's also specifically mentioned to be a Parliamentary Empire. Indeed, the Vasudans' survival and economic prosperity following the devastation of their homeworld is largely attributed to their current Emperor, who is quite progressive and favors further integration with the Terrans in the sequel.

The Empire / int_7de8951a	comment	The Third Imperium of Traveller is more like The Federation with hereditary nobles than an example of this. The First Imperium when the Terrans contacted it in the Interstellar Wars(which is as far back as Traveller sourcebooks go) was a Vestigial Empire. The second was essentially the first following conquest by the Terrans but the size and senility of the first Imperium simply overwhelmed their bureaucratic resources causing the Imperium to collapse entirely almost as soon as the end of the Interstellar Wars. In Megatraveller and The New Era, Lucan's Imperium fits the bill nicely, including setting out on a superweapon project to find a Final Solution (in those terms) to the ongoing civil war.

The Empire / int_81692f99	comment	Several examples from Star Trek that The Federation encounters from the outside, like the Dominion and the Romulan Star Empire, and the Mirror Universe version of the Federation itself, the Terran Empire (insignia pictured above). The Klingon Empire in the original series qualified until they allied with the Federation. Prior to the Dominion War however, it temporarily reverted back to its original practices, namely with the conquest of Cardassia. Notably, there was no Klingon Emperor until a clone of Kahless returned and it became a ceremonial position, with a council comprised of various rival Klingon Houses instead vying for power. It was precisely because Chancellor Gowron's position was so weak that he reverted the Empire to its old, militant ways for a brief bit in order to appease the hardliners in the imperial government. The Romulan Star Empire was created by a renegade group of Vulcans who rejected their founder's stoic teachings, instead basing their lifestyles around passion. Otherwise they're pretty transparent Space Romans, ruled by a Senate and a Praetor. They replaced the Klingons as the go-to Evil Empire in the TNG era, and managed to come out of the Dominion War as the overall winner by only joining late. However, after their own star goes supernova and destroys Romulus and Remus, they reformed themselves into the Romulan Free States. According to some non-canon sources, the Terran Empire arose from the American Empire, which was originally a much more militaristic and strength-based United States, before Teddy Roosevelt renames it and crowns himself Emperor. Interestingly, unlike a typical monarchy, the title of the Emperor is not hereditary.note As with the historical Roman Empire, which looked down on kings and never really made the "Emperorship" an office in itself until the Dominate. In fact, very few Emperors actually died of old age. Most were assassinated by those who then took up the mantle. Only one actually retired. The Cardassian Union is an imperial military dictatorship, run by several military officials in a governing body known as the Central Command, rather than one Emperor. It is more similar to the USSR or Oceania than a traditional empire, controlled by a political body. The Cardassian Occupation of Bajor has shown the Cardassian Union to be particularly brutal. They're later overthrown in a coup d'etat which restored the civilian leadership. However, they prove to be even worse as they turn Cardassia into a Dominion member state. As it becomes more and more clear that they're just a vassal of their new "allies", La RÃ©sistance forms. The Dominion, who are Eviler than Thou, decide to simply wipe out the Cardassians by Orbital Bombardment when their entire military rebels against them. The Dominion was written to be an Evil Counterpart of the Federation. While the latter is bounded by love and peace, the former is bounded by fear and intimidation. In addition, it's far more theocratic than other villain empires in the franchise. It was intended to have multiple Dominion races appear about their starships, but they ended up just having the Founders, Vorta, Jem'Hadar, and their Alpha Quadrant allies. The Federation itself is compared to one in-universe, with several characters pointing out that despite their outward appearance of benevolence, there's something incredibly insidious about how they worm their way into situations and make it so that other races come to need them, while others point out how they're no different than the Borg, since they assimilate all kinds of people and cultures while no-one even notices. Season 2 of Star Trek: Picard sees the timeline altered so that instead of the Federation, there's the Confederation of Earth, a xenophobic military state that is conquering the galaxy and enslaving all non-human races. The Confederation is similar to the Terran Empire but lacks its Chronic Backstabbing Disorder complex that became its downfall, instead going on to conquer the Cardassians, Klingons, Romulans, and the Borg. Its most ruthless military leader is General Jean-Luc Picard, who has led numerous campaigns of conquest against other races aboard his flagship the CSS World Razer (think Enterprise-D but armed to the teeth) and has personally slain alien leaders (including Martok, Dukat, and Sarek), whose skulls he keeps in his trophy room.

The Empire / int_86c3beca	comment	Girl Genius: The Wulfenbach Empire, founded by Baron Klaus Wulfenbach during the chaos following the Other's reign of terror and based around the principle of "don't make me come over there!" Given that most rulers in the setting are Mad Scientists this generally means that Klaus is putting down a rebellion quite often, and few of them are good, possibly even the one our intrepid heroine finds herself forced into simply by being a lost heir to one of the more influential (and crazier) Spark families. The worst part of this is that the Wulfenbach Empire is the most effective government in the known history of Europa. The last Empire on its scale was the semi-mythical Storm King's domain centuries ago. In fact, after a two year timeskip in which the Wulfenbachs have lost most of their territory from rebellions, the Empire is thought of as a lost Golden Age and many fiefdoms suddenly finding themselves under attack beg to rejoin. All that after just two years. While it is an empire, it has no actual Emperor. Klaus goes by the relatively humble title of "Baron Wulfenbach" since he doesn't really give a damn about noble titles. Martellus claims this is one of the reasons the noble families kept rebelling against him. If Klaus had proclaimed himself Emperor, the nobles would have gladly followed him. Not taking the title meant he was not playing the game, and they couldn't forgive the insult.

The Empire / int_8ac4e993	comment	The Gundam metaseries has several examples: The Principality of Zeon in Mobile Suit Gundam. Despite the misnomer (the head of state's official title was Sovereign), it practised all the human rights abuses and genocidal tendencies seen in any given "Evil Empire". The twist, however, is that they manage to be both this and La RÃ©sistance, Playing the Victim Card throughout and making it seem like they were forced to declare war on the Earth Federation to gain their independence; in fact, the One Year War is known as the Zeon War for Independence on their side. And if that wasn't bad enough (since when does one invade other countries to declare secession), the truth of the matter is Side 3 was already an independent republic under the previous founder Zeon Zum Daikun, the same man that the Zabis (specifically the patriarch Degwin) assassinated to subvert the Republic of Zeon into a totalitarian absolute monarchy. Overall, the Principality of Zeon is definitely the "evil empire" of the Gundam universe, in spite of having legions of diehard fans that would say otherwise. The Zanscare Empire of Victory Gundam which was bigger, stronger and more brutally oppressive than even Zeon was; their main goal was a total cleansing on the Earth Sphere (presumably so that their Jovian backers can move in) by telepathically devolving humanity to a general infantile state. Notably, execution (such as by guillotine) was a standard punishment for failure in their ranks. The Crossbone Vanguard and the Jupiter Empire of Mobile Suit Gundam F91 and Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam. The Crossbone Vanguard was essentially a pirate themed Zeon-wannabe militia which sought to establish an aristocratically ruled dominion in Side 4, Cosmo Babylonia. Unlike Zeon however, it actually succeeded, but Cosmo Babylonia ended up collapsing on its own. Beside them, the Jupiter Empire, being more or less a precursor to Zanscare, sought to eradicate all life in the Earthsphere and then rule over the resulting wasteland. It also practiced many of Zanscare's tendencies, such as executions being commonly used for punishment, even for the most minor of crimes. OZ, and latter White Fang of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing play this role. OZ overthrew the corrupt United Earth Sphere Alliance so the world could be ruled by the aristocrats of the Romefeller Foundation, and then stamped out even minor rebellions through overwhelming force (namely in the usage of Mobile Dolls). To counter them, White Fang was formed in order to free the space colonies from their influence... by plotting to devastate the Earth with the space fortress Libra.

While they do have reasonable cause to go to war with the Earth Alliance, they tend to get pretty dirty - creating a energy crisis, troops murdering POWs, and generally being ruthless in battle. And it gets worse when the radical faction takes over the leadership and escalates the war. The Earth Alliance isn't any better, they are lead by a group called Blue Cosmos who have no qualms of using nukes to destroy PLANT colonies, and want to destroy PLANT just because they're Coordinators. The Human Reform League in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, rival to the Union and AEU, and seems to be based on both Communist China and the Soviet Union. Out of the three superpowers, the HRL seems to be the worse behaved: Human experimentation on refugee children, supporting a militant group to gain control of Ceylon. They're also the most antagonistic towards Celestial Being. On the upside, the League managed to avoid the worse excesses of Zeon. And with Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, the Vagan have since joined the ranks of Gundam's many empires. Unlike most Gundam villain groups, the Vagans actually have a sympathetic reason backing them up: their nation began from Martian colonists who had been abandoned by the Earth Federation of the Advanced Generation universe and forced to endure living in a radioactive environment, resulting in much suffering and death. As such, the main drive for the Vagans is to escape their hellhole and return to Earth; unfortunately, they also want to exterminate Earth's native population along the way, as they see them akin to a disease that plagues their "Eden". And so just like the Zeon before them, the Vagans have no qualms committing genocide left and right, deliberately targeting civilian areas, even colonies and settlements with no Federation military presence, just For the Evulz. It gets even worse when their dear leader Fezarl Ezelcant, apparently channeling the spirit of Gihren Zabi across dimensions, revealed his real plan: selectively cause disasters and massacres, among both the Earthnoids and the Vagan, to kill off the weak and then bring the "strong", i.e. anyone that survives, into forming a perfect race. Obviously the guy's two Newtypes short of a White Base, but his followers are so fanatically loyal to him (such that they've been compared to the Helghast) that they don't see it; though for what it's worth, it seems Ezelcant's agenda is only known to a select few. CONSENT from G-Saviour. They're pretty much what happens if you combine the Earth Federation with the Principality of Zeon.

Once they got a new King, they cleaned up their act considerably. And then the Elves invaded them for poorly explained reasons.

The Empire / int_90e2f673	comment	In BattleTech, the Draconis Combine fits this to a tee. In fact, it's repeatedly stated in the sourcebooks that the Kurita family (who rules the Combine) believes that it is their destiny to rule all of humanity one day. While the Star League acted like The Federation when dealing with the Inner Sphere its treatment of the Periphery states was less than charitable. They were conquered in a brutal invasion and then heavily taxed and denied a say in League policy. All of the Successor States are empires. The Draconis Combine is less subtle about it than the others, but all five are cut from the same ruthless cloth and are ruled by dynastic emperors. Their primary opposition, the Clans, are The Horde, and the closest things in the Inner Sphere to a democracy were the Free Rasalhague Republic, which got conquered by Clan Ghost Bear, and the Outerworlds Alliance, which later merged with Clan Snow Raven. Though the Clan did allow Rasalhague to retain their parliament and Elective Monarchy, however Princes tend to be Ghost Bear Khans ever since they claimed Prince Ragnar as a bondsman. Recently Clan Wolf has renamed itself into the Wolf Empire thanks to an alliance with a branch of House Steiner, whom they later invaded.

The Empire / int_90f42a9b	comment	Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time introduces the Seanchan Empire as a civilization with its stability dependent on enslaving natural sorcerers channelers, and a universal delusion that the slave-masters are not themselves capable of channeling. Aside from the slavery and aristocracy, their strong socialist policies make them fairly popular among the conquered. The slave-master part is partially justified as if they hadn't ever had a slave, they would be incapable of channeling. Shara is another empire nearly as big as Seanchan on the opposite side of the world; it's mostly alluded to throughout the series without really being described, but supplemental materials paint of picture of an extremely insular, oppressively regimented society that's arguably even harsher than Seanchan, though far less expansionistic. In the last book, one of the Forsaken shows up at the Last Battle with a Sharan army in tow.

It gets toppled by the barbarian protagonist (who at that point has descended into being a tyrant that seeks his own barbarian empire). There are other empires scattered about the timeline, but they tend to have rather short imperial periods or very little information on what kind of empire they actually were. What is more common in the games is people desiring to forge an empire, but the only one to arguably succeed (for more than a few years, at least) is Morglin Ironfist, the canonical protagonist of Heroes I who fled from another world after a failed usurpation attempt and conquered a continent — and his Kingdom of Enroth not only was heavily indicated to be built on a pre-existing tradition of unity of relatively recent relevance even if the details were vague, but ceased to have any imperial ambitions basically from the end of Heroes I and settled down into a generally-benevolent-ish kingdom.

The Empire / int_9a0c0ffa	comment	The Earth Alliance in the History of the Galaxy series, despite the name, had all the makings of an empire. The President ran things by himself and didn't need anybody's permission to declare an all-out war against the colonies, justifying that they needed to offload extra population (a single city on Earth is mentioned to have a population of billions) and the colonies wouldn't go fo it (they never actually asked the colonies outright). Their way of subjugating a colony? No declaration of war, although the sudden nuking of two major cities probably counts as one, followed by an invasion. When the invasion is unexpectedly repelled, the fleet admiral has the planet so thoroughly nuked that it remains uninhabitable for the next 1000 years. What follows is the First Galactic War, with the Free Colonies desperately trying to hold their own against the much more advanced and militarized Earth Alliance. After 30 years, the colonists finally manage to defeat the Alliance, and only because one of the Alliance top brass has decided that the war should end and turned off many defenses in the Solar System. The Harammins had their own empire, including two slave races. However, they deliberately contained themselves in a large star cluster, never expanding, remaining static for nearly 3 million years with rulers suffering from Immortality Immorality. Not long after the end of the First Galactic War, there was an attempt by a small power on the fringes of human space (calling themselves the Stellar Caliphate) to take advantage of the post-war situation and establish an empire of their own. They nearly succeeded, and even then they were only thwarted by former soldiers of the defeated Earth Alliance. The newly-minted Confederacy of Suns didn't believe that there ever was a threat and would likely have fallen under the onslaught of the Muslims on a holy mission.

The Empire / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: The most prominent "Empire" throughout the series is the Cyrodiilic Empire, which has gone through three different iterations and, for the most part, has subverted or outright averted the trope, coming closer to The Good Kingdom (or at least The Federation). It is generally a benevolent force of good, enforcing rather liberal values (such as religious and racial tolerance) as well as a heavy focus on diplomacy and mercantilism/trade. The First Cyrodiilic Empire was formed by St. Alessia, the "Slave Queen", following the successful slave revolt of her people, the Nedes (Precursors to most of the modern races of Men in Tamriel), over the vile Ayleids (Wild Elves) who had enslaved and brutally tortured them. (Interestingly, the Ayleids are credited as having founded the very first empire of any kind in Tamriel.) This new empire contained her Nedic people, rebel Ayleid lords, and was closely allied with the Nordic Empire to the north. Compared to the situation under Ayleid rule, her empire was extremely benevolent. However, about a century after her death, the "monkey prophet" Marukh, an Imga from Valenwood, came to power as the leader of the Alessian Order within the empire. The order was an extremist anti-elven religious force and would quickly take over the young empire. For the next 1000 years, the order violently purged any and all records and cultural artifacts of the Ayleids from the empire. Religious infighting and Civil Wars among the cultures within the empire would eventually tear it apart. The Second Cyrodiilic Empire was founded by Reman Cyrodiil I (though he himself would never hold the official title of Emperor). After uniting the disheveled petty kingdoms of Cyrodiil against the threat of Akaviri invaders, his lineage would go on to found the Second Empire. It would come to dominate all of Tamriel except for Morrowind (where the Dunmer [Dark Elf] people were protected by their Physical Gods, the Tribunal) and the Summerset Isles (though he did get them to tangentially join his Empire via terms heavily favorable to the native Altmer [High Elves]). This Empire was again a largely benevolent force that, for the most part, successfully united most of Tamriel. When the last of the Reman line was assassinated, it brought the 1st Era to a close. However, the Akaviri Potentates would rule in a continuation of the Second Empire for the first several centuries of the 2nd Era, until they too would be assassinated. Following the collapse of the Second Empire, Tamriel descended into its own version of the Dark Ages. It would be plagued for 500 years by all manner of threats, ranging from the more mundane (petty kings engaging in fruitless wars) to the supernatural (attempted Daedric takeovers, mystical plagues, etc.) That came to an end when Tiber Septim came to power, first as a general to the Colovian King Cuchulain, then as emperor himself after Cuchulain was assassinated. He matched the Second Empire's expanse, got Morrowind to join as a Voluntary Vassal, and then gave special privileges to Morrowind in exchange for the Numidium, a Dwemer-crafted Humongous Mecha which was in the possession of the Dunmer. Using the Numidium, Septim completed his conquests by sacking Alinor, the capital of the long-time rival to the Cyrodiilic Empires, the Aldmeri Dominion, in less than an hour. The Third Cyrodiilic Empire would be ruled by the Septim line for nearly 500 years, and once again subverted the trope by being a generally benevolent force. (Though it is played straight in the spinoff game Redguard, as it is set during the period when Tiber Septim was still conquering all of Tamriel, and one of the main villains is a corrupt Imperial governor.) The Mede Empire, a continuation of the Third Empire most prominently seen in Skyrim, continued to rule following the Third Empire's formal collapse following the Oblivion Crisis. They've lost a significant amount of power and territory, now down to ruling just High Rock, Cyrodiil itself, and Skyrim, the last of which is in the midst of a civil war while attempting to secede from the empire. It again plays with the trope, being largely benevolent and having successfully fended off reformed the Aldmeri Dominion once, but was forced into unfavorable terms as part of an armistice. Even though they don't really seem to bother to enforce some of the unfavorable terms (such as the ban on Talos worship), they are seen as weak cowards by the seceding Nords. As mentioned in the entry for the Cyrodiilic Empires, the Aldmeri Dominion is an empire in all but name, and plays the trope straight. Based out of the Summerset Isles, the homeland of the Altmer (High Elves), the Dominion has also frequently included the Bosmer (Wood Elves) of Valenwood and the Khajiit of Elsweyr in a massive Anti-Human Alliance. After being decimated and humiliated by Tiber Septim (using the Numidium), the Dominion laid dormant during the reign of the Septim Empire. However, the Thalmor, an even more elven-supremacist group of Altmeri religious extremists, took credit within their homeland for ending the Oblivion Crisis, winning them massive popular support. They reformed the Dominion, forcefully annexed Valenwood, and convinced to Khajiit to join as vassals with more Blatant Lies. They waged war on what was left of the Third Empire, and though the Empire would survive the war, they at least managed to force unfavorable terms onto the Vestigial Empire of Cyrodiil which set the stage for it to further fall apart. The Thalmor are motivated by an old Altmeri religious belief that the mortal world was a cruel trick on their divine ancestors which forced them to experience mortal suffering, loss, and death, and they believe that if the mortal world is unmade, it will return their spirits to a state of pre-creation divinity. One stage in this plan involves the destruction of Talos, the ascended god form of Tiber Septim (and others), who may be the last thing keeping the mortal world extant. (And there is evidence that they may be right about this.) Obviously, this would paint them as Omnicidal Maniacs in the eyes of just about every other race (including among other Altmer who do not share this belief), so they have had to be crafty in implementing this plan. In the backstory, King Vrage the Gifted in the First Era forged a Nord empire that stretched across northern Tamriel, encompassing Skyrim, Solstheim, High Rock, Hammerfell, most of Morrowind and parts of Cyrodiil. After ruling for 78 years, Vrage the Gifted died and King Borgas took the throne to continue his father's conquests, but he was slain in battle with the Bosmer only a few years later. As Borgas was the last of the line of Ysgramor, a succession crisis ensued and the Nords lost all the territory they gained outside Skyrim except Solstheim. Their effort to retake Morrowind later was crushed by a Dwemer-Chimer coalition at the Battle of Red Mountain. The defeat was so shocking that the hero Ysmir went away to meditate on his loss (as he saw it as punishment from the gods for misusing the Thuum) and the Nords would make no further attempts at empire building.

While it's not necessarily expansionist, it had a very turbulent history with civil wars and it's generally not a good place to live.

The Iron Islands used to be this under House Hoare before Aegon's Conquest. When they expanded over the Riverlands, they subjugated and conquered without mercy everyone they encountered, enslaving it's population to construct a giant fortress which took years and thousands of lives to complete.

One thousand years after NÃºmenor's foundation, the NÃºmenoreans found their first permanent havens in Middle-Earth and begin demanding and levying tributes from outlying areas. As the centuries go by, the NÃºmenoreans get worse, colonizing large swaths of Middle-Earth and controlling all the oceans. They also cut down all the old forests on the northwest continent to build fleets, and enslave entire native populations. And it gets even worse during the reign of their last king Ar-PharazÃ´n, who is described as the greatest tyrant in the world since Morgoth himself. They come "no more as the benevolent kings of old, not even as harsh rulers, but as fierce men of war" who sacrifice scores of people on the altars of Morgoth every day, using the Middle-earth natives, and take many others to slavery. This is more or less the reason why the Gondorians, descendants of the NÃºmenÃ³rÃ«ans, are so hated by the Dunlendings the Haradrim and Easterlings.

The Empire / int_a81325d3	comment	The Final Fantasy series uses this trope on multiple occasions. Final Fantasy II has the Empire of Palamecia, which conquers, destroys, and enslaves seemingly for the heck of it. Partway through the game the Emperor kills the devil and usurps his throne. And as if that weren't enough to make him a badass, the expanded GBA release reveals that his "good" side has also taken over the equivalent of Heaven. Final Fantasy VI has the Gestahlian Empire (simply known as "The Empire" in the original release) as the main antagonist for most of the game. As if it weren't clear enough, the intro shows the emperor giving the Nazi salute to his subjects. They're not the dangerous ones. In Final Fantasy IX, Queen Brahne is in the process of creating one of these until her death. Final Fantasy XI includes the Empire of Aht Urghan, which makes up the setting for it's named expansion. It rules over the Aradijah continent with an iron grip, and is in constant war with various Beastmen factions and the Far Eastern army. Bioweapons, chimeras, electric harnessing and Blue Mages are the result of Aht Urghan's technology. The best part is that the player character works as a mercenary/double agent for the big bad Empire for the entire plot. Final Fantasy XII has the Archadian Empire, which embodies this trope, and the Rozarrian Empire which seems more benevolent, but is only peripherally involved in the story. However, as you get further and further into the game — including a visit to Archades, Archadia's capital city —, you realize that the Archadian Empire isn't as evil as the protagonists want to believe, and neither is the Rozarrian Empire as benevolent as they seem. Of the three main antagonists, only one of them has true villainous intent (Vayne just wants to rule the world as Dynast-King), whereas the other two (Cid and Venat) are working with him to wrest control of Man's future from the hands of the Occuria and, outside of simply being on the opposite side of the protagonists, aren't all that bad. Final Fantasy XIV: The first and most prominent example is the Garlean Empire, the belligerent invading force against Eorzea and the primary antagonists of the game's main scenario. Thematically, they borrow heavily from FFVI's Gestahlians (including explicit use of magitek), the Imperials from Star Wars, not to mention titles and real-life imperial tactics (e.g. conscripting soldiers from conquered territory to weaken rebellion and bulk out Cannon Fodder) from Ancient Rome. Five thousand years ago from the game's timeline, most of the world was ruled by the Allagan Empire, the supreme power of the Third Astral Era. Compared to their conquests and ambitions, Garlemald is just a pale imitation of Allag's glory and vastly superior Lost Technology. Their creations and legacy are still felt to this day, often being uncovered by the Garleans to further their own conquest. Not even alternate universes are safe: The First, the location of Shadowbringers, has its own evil empire (if not in name, then certainly deed) in the form of Eulmore, a decadent kingdom whose subjects while away their days in luxury while waiting for the end of the world, and whose ruler seems doggedly determined to ensure the world ends. Final Fantasy Type-0 has the aptly-named Milites, which is conquering most of the world at the time the game opens. Final Fantasy XV gives us The Empire of Niflheim, which by the game's beginning has successfully conquered the world. The Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series has had a few. The original game takes place a while after the fall of the Liltian Empire, and Crystal Bearers takes place in the reign of its revival. There was also an Ancient Empire in the past of Echoes of Time, led by a powerful Emperor Scientist. Who is the game's immortal Big Bad. The Avalonian Empire in Final Fantasy Dimensions starts off as a supposed ally to the heroes' home nation of Lux, and the town expects that their favorite son Aigis will be recruited by the army. Avalon proves itself to be traitorous almost instantly by assaulting the kingdom to steal its crystal. Two of the new party members turn out to be from nations that were wiped out almost completely by Avalon, and at the very end it's revealed that the Emperor got tired of the whole succession thing and decided to make himself immortal so he could rule the world forever, and has been manipulating the group to bring the crystals' power to him for that reason.

The Empire / int_ab832518	comment	As shown in The Forerunner Saga, ancient humans (in conjunction with the San'Shyuum, aka Prophets) had their own expansionist interstellar empire during the age of the Forerunners, believing themselves to be the true inheritors of the Mantle. Eventually, humanity and the Forerunners ended up warring when the former began invading the latter's worlds; although nearly advanced as the Forerunners themselves, the humans and their allies were out-numbered, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered by their adversaries. The Forerunners defeated the humans and obliterated their civilization, deprived them of their technology and worlds, erased their culture and history, and exterminated most of their population - the remainder were subjected to biological regression and fragmented into numerous sub-species before being forevermore sequestered on Earth as a nature reserve and laboratory animal source (the San'Shyuum got off comparatively lightly due to surrendering first; their punishment was "merely" some forced genetic devolution and being permanently quarantined to their home system). Then the Forerunners realized the humans were not trying to conquer them, but instead were attempting to flee from the encroaching Flood.

It's ruled by an obscenely corrupt Evil Chancellor on behalf of the child emperor, uses its powerful military to subjugate its people and expand its tyrannical rule, and is opposed by a populist resistance army. Not to mention that the aristocracy seems to be almost exclusively populated by sadistic psychopaths who take pleasure in abusing the common people. Ultimately, the depths of the Empire's depravity is what allows Tatsumi and the rest of the assassins of Night Raid to justify their work as Necessarily Evil.

The Empire / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai has a lot of evil factions that explicitly have "Empire" in their name, something that was especially in the older series. However, most tended to be this In Name Only and territory their base. Some straight up examples are: The Tailed-People Clan Jashinka Empire from Kagaku Sentai Dynaman, an army of lizard humanoids looking to take over Earth and Kill All Humans. Although from what we see of there society, their sphere of influence doesn't seem to stretch much farther than the Grand Gizmo. Underground Empire Tube from Hikari Sentai Maskman. A once peaceful kingdom that lived underground until they suffered a coup de'tat and were reformed into a militaristic, expansionist power. Tube is actually one of the straighter examples of this trope, since their sovereign rules over multiple underground tribes. Machine Empire Baranoia in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger, an empire of machines from outer space looking to wage a Robot War on humanity. Space Empire Zangyack in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger are probably the best example, being a vast interstellar empire with numerous alien races under them that has already conquered most of the known universe, with Earth being one of the few planets they haven't subjugated yet. Parodied in Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger with the Neo Dimensional Brain Reconstructive Underground True Empire of Baros lol, which is led by Tsu Shogun, an Otaku who is obsessed with Sentai Villains, and only consists of him, Malsheena and a few Mooks. They do not even have a spectacular lair, as Tsu Shogun plans his attacks from a rented storage depot. Prior to that, near the end of the first season, Doctor Z reorganized the corporate-themed villains into the Delusion Empire. While referred to as a "shogunate", Uchu Sentai Kyuranger's Jark Matter is definitively the Empire, being a brutally oppressive, galaxy-spanning, planet-looting dictatorship under the rule of Don Armage. It also helps that they borrow a lot from a more famous Galactic Empire. Great Star League Gozma from Dengeki Sentai Changeman are a subversion. Initially, they seem like a vast space empire, having conquered many planets before their invasion of Earth. However, their true purpose is to prepare planets to be devoured by their ruler Star King Bazoo, who is actually a Planet Eater called Gozma Star. Almost all of the planets Gozma conquers have been eaten by Bazoo.

They've lost a significant amount of power and territory, now down to ruling just High Rock, Cyrodiil itself, and Skyrim, the last of which is in the midst of a civil war while attempting to secede from the empire. It again plays with the trope, being largely benevolent and having successfully fended off reformed the Aldmeri Dominion once, but was forced into unfavorable terms as part of an armistice. Even though they don't really seem to bother to enforce some of the unfavorable terms (such as the ban on Talos worship), they are seen as weak cowards by the seceding Nords.

The Imperium of Man is notable for it's sheer scale, A million worlds and with a population in the quadrillions, it fights thousands of wars at any given moment, its soldiers number in the trillions, and it has existed for ten thousand years. One man, even the greatest man, is nothing, even the death of millions matters little in the Imperium. It was even greater at its peak, and even after 10,000 years of war, corruption, and sheer ineptitude of its government and citizenry, it still intends to survive until it's ultimate destruction...assuming that ever happens. The Tau, who are also The Federation made up of many different races including human turncoats while the Imperium wipes out all alien life they find. Various Chaos Warlords (both human and not-quite-humans-any-more) also sometimes manage to carve out their own mini-empires, usually numbering a few dozen or hundred worlds. These are either eventually crushed by an Imperial Crusade or collapse into anarchy because, you know, they're chaos... The Eldar used to have a galaxy spanning empire of their own. It was brought down by their own decadence, after centuries of murderous depravity spawned Slaanesh.

The Empire / int_bff01809	comment	The Empire of Warhammer, on the other hand, averts this trope, being based on the Real Life Holy Roman Empire. The Emperor is an elected rather than inherited position; when the Emperor dies the Elector Counts convene to elect a new one - the ten Elector Counts have one vote each (and usually vote for themselves), the Elder of the Moot has one vote, the Ar-Ulric of the Cult of Ulric gets one and the Grand Theogonist of the Church of Sigmar has three (one for himself and two for each Arch-Lector, but he casts all of them). The Empire doesn't get a lot of opportunities to expand, as it is bordered by the allied human nations of Bretonnia and Kislev to the west and east, the Sea of Claws and beyond that Norsca to the north (and that way lies madness - literally, and a ton of violent Horny Vikings besides) and mountains every other direction. The Skaven fit the trope better, they have a massive underground empire that dwarfs the Empire, and all the other Old World nations combined. They have the potential of taking over the Old World, if they would put aside their Chronic Backstabbing Disorder for one minute and not try to eliminate each other while fighting their enemies. The straightest example would probably be Naggaroth, the land of the Dark Elves. Unlike other states, which are often ruled by either Decadent Courts or monarchs with limited actual power, Naggaroth is ruled with absolute, unquestioned authority by Malekith, who is fearsomely reputed as the Witch King.note Naggaorth is divided into domains ruled by Dread Lords, who regularly feud with each other, but none of them dare try and challenge Malekith. Naggaroth is infamous for its ruthless slavers, and the unbridled cruelty of its residents.

It's pretty obviously bad to the reader not only because of this but also using dragons as its tools in a very cruel way, though most Zefedi are indoctrinated into supporting it. A resistance exists however, with some Zefedi opposing it. They constitute an elite in the empire, which claims its wars are caused by those they conquer.

They then spend centuries solidifying their hold on the Inner Sphere colonies and building up their military. They then strike out at the Northern Star Alliance, crushing all resistance mercilessly. The leader of the Terran fleet is Imperator Vlaana Azleea, AKA the Butcher of Ariel, charged by The Emperor to bring all the colonies under Imperial control, even if it means bombing them into nothingness. The Empire is partly modeled after the Roman Empire, including the ranks (imperator, centurion) and the fact that their foot soldiers are called legionnaires.

The Empire / int_c43df4d8	comment	Several antagonistic races in Doctor Who have empires, though for most they're usually formed as a means to an end. For instance, the Dalek Empire was created by the Daleks to further their goal of exterminating all non-Dalek life and the Cyber-Empire was formed by the Cybermen in their process of their objective to convert everyone into Cybermen. The Sontaran Empire is a straight example, as the Sontarans a militaristic race of clones whose whole society depends on waging perpetual war, although for them conquering isn't as important as fighting. The Draconian Empire is a grayer example. It's a vast spacefaring feudal civilisation with a society stratifed along class and gender lines, but can be honorable and reasonable in its dealings with others. The portrayal of the Earth Empire varies, some cases being shown as relatively benevolent while in others it's xenophobic and authoritarian.

In the first book, the Final Empire controls the whole world and is a truly terrible place to live but its leader, rather than being power-mad, is a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose judgement is being impaired by the Omnicidal Maniac whispering in his ear. When the one person holding the whole Empire together gets killed, everything descends into utter chaos as multiple factions vie for leadership. To deal with the resulting civil war and an inadvertently released Eldritch Abomination, the heroes wind up having to create an empire of their own.

The state's official stance is to call all other nations barbarians who will be "civilized" either with or without their consent. There are also plenty of corrupt prefects, governors and centurions who scheme at everybody else's expense.

Ten thousand years before the trilogy begins, after an apocalypse wiped out almost all life in the Solar System, the Emperor (or "God" as he's more commonly known) performed the Resurrection to bring as many people as possible back from death. Those people created the Nine Houses, which form the story's setting. The Emperor takes a hands-off approach to running the Empire and is rarely seen, but it has a heavy military presence and maintains a constant war with enemies from outside. The end of Book 2 reveals the war serves no purpose apart from punishing those who left Earth and left the Emperor behind, or, at this point, their descendants).

The Empire / int_d109f322	comment	In Andromeda, the Nietzschean plan during their rebellion against the Systems Commonwealth was to form a strong Nietzschean Empire with the Drago-Kazov pride forming the ruling dynasty. However, during the last major battle of the war, the Battle of Witchhead, a large Nietzschean fleet (constituting 15% of their total strength at the start of the conflict) suffers heavy losses when they destroy the last High Guard ships (with some help from Hunt). No longer having a strong position, the Drago-Kazov pride is unable to stay in charge, reducing the unified Nietzscheans into a bunch of squabbling prides who are more concerned with power than creating civilization. Cue 300 years of total chaos. The Commonwealth itself originally started as the Vedran Empire before it became more egalitarian and switched to a republican form of government. This was mostly the result of necessity, as the Vedran Empire has grown so large that its client races began to vastly outnumber the ruling Vedrans. The conversion to the All Systems Commonwealth is likely the only thing that saved the Empire from collapse.

They're known to have been aggressively expansionist in the past, which makes the player suspicious of them at first. As it turns out though, most of its citizens are good people, and a lot disagree with its outdated nobility system just as much as foreign countries do. The few times it actually lives up to this trope are due to cases of Tyrant Takes the Helm. Some of the series' greatest heroes, like Olivier ( who is actually the prince of the empire) and Rean are from Erebonia and are trying to change the country for the better from the inside.

However, that is in orion, one of its three universes (servers). In Artemis, the empire loses quite often, with the federation mostly winning due to having the most members and the best organisation.

The novels The Mystery of the Black Jungle and The Two Tigers are set in India during the period of East India Company rule, the first in Bengal under the rule of the East India Company and the latter around India as the Rebellion of 1857 raged. In these novels Salgari takes an ambivalent stance towards Company rule: on one hand the Company is shown opening the country to trade and industrialization, hunting down dangerous animals to improve the living conditions of the populace, and campaign against barbaric customs as Sati (widow burning) and the Thuggee cult (we are even shown East India Company troops affiliated with the Thuggee Department storming the Thuggee headquarters); on the other hand the flaws of the Company, such as its corruption, arrogance and heavy handed response to political complaints are shown, culminating in the bloody suppression of the 1857 rebellion.

The Empire / int_e04f934e	comment	In Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the spinoff Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes the continent of Fodlan is divided into three countries, the Adrestian Empire, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus and the Leicester Alliance, and the non-aligned region housing the mediator the Central Church of Seiros, coexisting in relative peace. 1180 years ago, the first Emperor Wilhelm I and Saint Seiros launched the War of Heroes to unify Fodlan. Hundreds of years later, the regions that became the Kingdom and Alliance seceded by war and rebellion. Subsequently the Empire has not instigated any major conflict unprovoked. In the present, there is some sentiment in the Empire that the other nations were lands and people unjustly taken from them. Ionius IX is the Emperor, and Edelgard is the princess. Over the course of all the games' routes, the Empire is the catalyst for the story: There is an additional faction of the "true" antagonists, the Agarthans, an Obviously Evil race who predate the War of Heroes and backed its other side. They are a corrupting force throughout the continent, most heavily in the Empire by making the sickly Emperor a puppet against his will. In all timelines, Ionius appoints Edelgard as Emperor before dying. She instigates war on the rest of the continent, in order to remove the stagnating influence of Church of Seiros and the corruption of the Agarthans from Fodlan, hoping to re-unify Fodlan under new principles of social equality and self-determination. Thus on all timelines the Empire initiates unprovoked conflict. On all Three Houses routes, the reforms Edelgard called for eventually come to pass. On all Three Hopes routes, the Agarthans are expelled from the Empire before war formally begins. The portrayal of the Empire zig-zags based on which of the two games and seven routes is chosen: Siding with Edelgard and the Empire in Three Houses allows your influence to ensure Edelgard remains true to her ideals without going full Well-Intentioned Extremist out of desperation and a limited window of opportunity. In Three Hopes, that desperation never happens, and the Alliance and part of the Kingdom side with the Empire via diplomacy during or before the war, respectively. In either game, Edelgard makes clear that her ambitions stop at the continent's borders, and the Empire would no longer see hereditary rule once her reforms are cemented. Siding with the Kingdom in either game generally tells the most traditional Fire Emblem story: The (Blue) good guys repel an unprovoked invasion from the (Red) bad guys of the Empire, with the (Green or Yellow) neutral parties of the Church and Alliance caught in between, but generally siding with the Kingdom. In Three Houses, the Agarthans temporarily depose the Kingdom and submit it to the Empire, and Edelgard is at her most desperate and takes the worst available options before her defeat. Fodlan is effectively unified under the Kingdom. In Three Hopes, the Empire invades because the Kingdom harbors the Central Church. During the war the Agarthans return and take more direct control of the Empire and an unwilling Edelgard, who was portrayed more positively in this game. The Agarthans go full Card-Carrying Villain. Siding with the Alliance in Three Houses sees the Empire defeated and Edelgard killed earlier, without being at her worst or best. The player realizes Edelgard's nobler goals in her stead, while the Alliance's heir laments that they were no different. The continent becomes the United Kingdom of Fodlan. In Three Hopes, the Empire's offensive against them is smaller, and the Alliance tries a counter-invasion before becoming a Federation, siding with the Empire and its goals, and taking the lead in the fight against the Church. Regarding the Central Church, in Three Houses, the player sides with them by siding with and then opposing Edelgard. The fate of the Empire plays out identically to that of the Alliance route. In Three Hopes, the Church does not have its own route, and is part of the Kingdom's route.

The Empire / int_e235270c	comment	In Stellaris "Empire" is the game term for any polity capable of spaceflight and in control of at least one planet, but they need not necessarily fit this trope, depending on government type and AI personality. The Despotic Empire and Star Empire governments and the "Hegemonic Imperialists" personality are closest. Of course, a player can choose a democratic government and still conquer the galaxy by military force. With the Nemesis expansion, the most powerful or respected empire can try to become a Galactic Custodian in order to unite the galaxy in the face of an all-threatening crisis (although this is far from the only possible reason). If, however, the newly-made Custodian decides that this measure is not enough or is simply tempted by the greatness that is only a step away, they can proclaim the creation of the First Galactic Imperium - an empire the size of the entire galaxy, with the possessions of yesterday's Custodian as its center.

In GURPS Thaumatology: Alchemical Baroque, the Great Majestic Solar Empire is actually "a nation with pretensions", and isn't overtly evil â€” but it has very strong imperialist ambitions, and uses both military strength and diplomatic subtlety in pursuit of power, driving the formation of â€œthe Great Pactâ€�, which definitely functions as The Alliance against it.

In Star Wars: Legacy, The Republic was eventually reorganized into A Lighter Shade of Grey constitutional monarchy known as the Fel Empire (the Fel dynasty being direct descendants of Han & Leia Solo) with its own Gray Jedi order known as the Imperial Knights. However, the Fels were overthrown by the Sith, leading to Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire. Following Krayt's defeat, the government was reorganized into the Galactic Federation Triumvirate.

And Emperor Prosek's decision to consciously adopt Adolf Hitler as his role model really doesn't help. Although Prosek is not nearly so racist or anti-magic as he pretends. He just finds it useful for keeping the public simultaneously scared and ready to fight at his command. Also, the simple act of him successfully declaring himself "emperor" the Coalition States is in line with this trope, as they were originally more democratic than they are under his rule. This is a major source of tension between Chi-Town and Free Quebec, and also causes concern on the part of the New German Republic. Rifts is full of these, mostly ruled by monsters. Atlantis, the Gargoyle Empire, the Vampire Kingdoms, the Phoenix Empire, etc.

The Ur-Quan have been moving through the galaxy for millennia, conquering races and incorporating them into the Hierarchy as either "fallow slaves" (they would be confined to their homeworlds until the end of time) or Battle Thralls. The latter were given more freedom and could travel through space but would be forced to fight for the Ur-Quan. They're on the verge of collapse as well. Without the player's interference, the Hierarchy will lose the Doctrinal Conflict against the Kohr-Ah. The Scryve Empire in Origins. The Scryve control three sectors of the galaxy. While originally they incorporated all young races they encountered, a devastating rebellion by one of them has resulted in most encountered races being preemptively exterminated for fear of them posing a threat to the Scryve. The Scryve are also known for genetically modifying their client races to suit a particular function. Two such examples are known from the game: the Measured and the Pinthi. The Measured (originally known as Llani) are, basically, a sentient coral reef that excels at bureacracy. The Pinthi are an intelligent virus. The Scryve Empire is already showing cracks, showing every indication of being a Vestigial Empire.

The Empire / int_e7a9c06c	comment	Paperinik New Adventures is plagued by the Evronian Empire, ruled by the namesake emotion-feeding Planet Looters from their Planet Spaceship. They wouldn't really bother with it except the survivors of their conquests and their descendants provide them with a stable supply of emotions (that they feed on and also power much of their technology, though they're trying to away with the latter) and slaves (a byproduct of the technology that drains the emotions leaves the victims as emotionless slaves). The scariest part of the Evronian Empire, however, comes from the fact the Evronians are prone to Chronic Backstabbing Disorder and extremely Genre Savvy: whenever their numbers grow too much to keep their propensity for betrayal under control they turn a new planet in a spaceship, embark half of their numbers and a new emperor on it, and send it to create a new Evronian Empire somewhere else in the galaxy, meaning that even with the destruction of the one threatening Earth there's still an unknown number of Evronian Empires that may or may not realize the local one has fallen and decide to move in.

At least not until the Operative shows up on Serenity's dock with a Heel Realization to get off his chest, suggesting that even the Alliance has members too moral to tolerate that, and isn't unanimously 'evil'.

The Empire / int_e80fa454	comment	At their peak, before the Varelsi threatened the remaining star systems in the universe, the Jennerit Empire from Battleborn was the most far-reaching civilization in existence. The star-spanning empire was originally ruled by Empress Lenore and fought against the Varelsi. That was until the Empress' right-hand Lothar Rendain led a coup against her, feeling that it would be better to join up with the Varelsi instead in order to survive. The coup resulted in the darkening of the Jennerit's then throneworld of Jennar and everyone on it, including the Empress Lenore. With that, the Jennerit Empire under Rendain was renamed the Jennerit Imperium. Although Rendain had seized power, not everyone within the empire decided to abide by his regime as evidenced by a growing resistance that's been rising throughout the Jennerit Imperium.

Mention is made that their empire is not comprised exclusively of kett, and that they do keep some species as "vassals", but given the kett attitude towards other lifeforms is usually that they're fodder for scientific experiments, it probably isn't much better than their standard operating practice.

Slavery of sorts is practiced, and there's at least some degree of restrictions on political freedom-the Infinite War began when outlying colonies began rejecting Earth rule and joining the Aeon. Earth's response was military in nature, one thing lead to another, and the Infinite War kicked off. The Aeon would also count, since they happen to led by a warmongering commander who plans to usurp the princess, and their goal is to brainwash everyone into accepting The Way, and cleanse all nonbelievers.

The Empire / int_fb0c0a3b	comment	Voltes V: The main antagonists are The Boazanian Empire, a Galactic Superpower that constantly expands by colonizing other planets. According to the Boazanian Fantastic Caste System, those with horns are allowed to join the nobility, and those without them are forced to live as slaves - since the Boazanians plan an Alien Invasion on Earth, you can guess where this is going. In the Grand Finale, The Hero's father topples the Boazanian Empire and starts a new era of peace and equality, doing away with the planet's bloody history once and for all.

The Empire / int_fb3cb2a	comment	The Empire of Estellion in the Ravenmark games starts out as a relatively benevolent example (for its citizens). It's still an empire in that it conquers and annexes neighboring territories whether the people there want it or not. It has an Emperor, but the title is not necessarily passed to the first descendant (it can, but there are exceptions). From its very beginning, Estellion was set up as a meritocratic empire, with any commoner capable of attaining nobility with decades of loyal service (usually military, although administrative is also possible if longer). The title is only temporary, holding only for two generations, but if a family manages to maintain an unbroken line of titles for ten generations (i.e. through continued service), the family becomes a permanent noble House. The first game starts right after the death of Emperor Sergius Corvius, a wise and benevolent ruler by all accounts. His daughter (first surviving child) doesn't want the job, so his son (second surviving child) makes a power grab. However, Sergius secretly groomed Livia Cassianus, a bastard child of the royal house (except she's actually his legitimate granddaughter from his late first son Faustus), to be his successor. By the end of the first game, the civil war is over, and Livia is crowned Empress. Unfortunately, the Big Bad kills her Love Interest, and this ends up being her Start of Darkness. By the next game, four years later, she is known as the Scarlet Empress and has grown ruthless in her desire to stamp out all enemies, both foreign and domestic. The Kaysani invasion, the civil war, and Livia's policies end up fracturing the Empire and reducing its power, as well as pitting it against a former ally, the Commonwealth of Esotre. As the game starts, the Empire is locked in a MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois with both the Commonwealth and a new nation called the Farishah Federation and is about on par with its enemies, whereas before it could have crushed them both. Additionally, the Twin Cities, the cultural and economic heart of the Empire, declare their independence and use armies of mercenaries to retain it, further weakening the Empire.

The Empire / int_fb94b2b0	comment	The conflict of Dreadstar is dominated by a war between two powerful empires for control of the Empirical Galaxy. The Monarchy is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, and is nominally controlled by King Gregzor but is really ruled by various corrupt factions in the military and aristocracy, the most powerful of which is the enigmatic Evil Chancellor Z; the Instrumentality is The Theocracy, being run by the church and its spiritual and political head is the Lord High Papal. They're both about equally evil, but the Instrumentality is more dangerous because it's more competently lead and it ends up winning the war when Z sells the Monarchy out.
